Congresswoman Dean Won’t Pick Sides

by Gerry April 27, 2024

She Can't Pick Sides

In a statement released on her social media accounts, Rep. Madeleine Dean said today -I condemn Hamas' terrorism.  I decry Netanyahu's cruelty and brutality. It might be simpler — more convenient — to "pick a side." But it wouldn't be right.
