NEW YORK CITY (VINnews) – The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday soundly rejected a controversial War Powers Resolution pushed by Jew hater Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., aimed at ending American support for Israel’s military operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Among those voting to defeat the measure was Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., a steadfast supporter of Israel’s right to defend itself amid ongoing threats from Iranian-backed terrorists.

Goldman, who has consistently backed U.S. military aid to Israel in its fights against Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, opposed the resolution, which critics described as a reckless attempt to tie the hands of Israel and the U.S. in confronting radical Islamist groups. The vote failed overwhelmingly, with 324 members opposed and just 92 in favor.

In contrast, former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, who is challenging Goldman in the Democratic primary for New York’s 10th Congressional District, publicly lamented the resolution’s defeat. Lander, who has positioned himself as a vocal critic of Israel, claimed he would have joined the Congressional Progressive Caucus in supporting the measure. He accused the U.S. and Israeli leaders of complicity in “immense suffering” in Lebanon, while downplaying the security threats posed by Hezbollah.

Lander’s comments align with his broader far-left record, including pledges to cut off military aid to Israel and characterizations of its defensive operations as potential “genocide” or “occupation.” Observers have noted Lander’s shift toward rhetoric often associated with self-hating anti-Israel elements within progressive circles, distancing himself from mainstream Jewish and Democratic support for the Jewish state’s survival against existential threats.

Goldman, by comparison, has demonstrated principled leadership by supporting aid packages that enable Israel to dismantle terrorist infrastructure in Gaza and counter Hezbollah aggression from Lebanon. His votes reflect a commitment to U.S.-Israel alliance and bipartisan recognition that weakening Israel emboldens Iran and its proxies, endangering American interests and regional stability.

The primary contest between Goldman and Lander has sharpened divisions within the Democratic Party over Israel, with Lander courting progressive and anti-Israel voices while Goldman upholds a more centrist, pro-defense stance. As the June 23 primary approaches, voters in the heavily Jewish district will decide whether to back Goldman’s steadfast support for a key ally or Lander’s embrace of policies widely viewed as harmful to Israel and detached from mainstream American foreign policy.
