Brad Schneider, now in his fifth term representing Illinois' 10th District in the U.S. House of Representatives, has consistently demonstrated unwavering support for Israel, often to the detriment of addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. In a speech on the House Floor on Wednesday, April 10, Schneider strongly opposed H.Res. 1117, a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire.
Schneider's opposition to the ceasefire resolution and his vocal criticism of President Biden's decision to halt weapons shipments to Israel in May 2024 have raised significant concerns. His statement, "Hamas leaders need to hear and believe that their days of safety in Rafah are numbered," endorsing continued military aggression in areas densely populated with civilians.
Schneider's policies contribute to an environment where the use of overwhelming force is normalized, contributing to the murder of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians.
