    That J Street linked in the article statement is hilarious

    Through statements and votes, the majority of House Democrats demonstrated that there is now broad agreement within the Democratic caucus that it is time for a fundamentally different American approach to the U.S.-Israel relationship and the region.

    That sentiment was echoed by Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who voted no when he said [meaningless nonsense]. And it was picked up by Democratic Whip Katherine Clark, who voted yes and said [meaningless nonsense].

    [Bolding added]

    Today’s vote reflects the emerging consensus in the Party – the debate will no longer be about whether U.S. policy should change, but rather how it must change.

    “As an organization and network of lawmakers that has vociferously opposed any change, we are excited to announce our support for change now that it has become inevitable! And as staunch advocates for change for over four whole minutes now, we are looking forward to offering feedback and constructive criticism to all of our partners in this movement for change.”
