Retirement from something that has been integral to your life for so long requires a lot of courage. My hat is off to Congressman Nadler. Thank you for your leadership & service. And, thank you for your courage to make way for new leadership.

Arguably, the thing George Washington is best known and loved for is knowing when to step aside. It’s a critically important thing for a democracy and kudos to @nadler.house.gov for doing the right thing here.

He's been one of the good ones, but it's time for the party leadership to pass the torch. Hopefully this will help get that message through to those who needed to hear it more than he did.

Jerrold Nadler has Secured Victory for Israel in the War that is not a War, Crushed Anti~Zionist Dissent on Campuses across America and Secured even More Power for AIPAC and the Zionists over his 17 Terms in Congress. I think he his hearing the Drum Beats, not "Heeding The Call" #GenocidalZionists

Retaliation is not a scorched earth campaign targeting civilian centers, holy sites, and other protected spaces. You'd better not complain when someone squats in your living room and decides the whole house is theirs.

That's what the Palestinians have been trying to do since 1948. They could have had half in 1947, and both sides would now be far better off. But, no, they chose to be assholes. They still make that choice, every day.
