In an effort that APN supported, Representative Pocan led a letter of 40
Democrats to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo demanding condemnation of the Israeli government’s demolition of 76
structures in a Palestinian Bedouin community, displacing 73 people including 41 children.
Congressman Pocan: "Demolishing Palestinian homes, in occupied territory, by the Israeli government is a violation of international law and must be condemned by the United States government... There is no excuse for the de facto annexation of Palestinian land..."

In response to reports that the State Department may baselessly
label prominent human rights organizations ‘antisemitic,’ nine organizations from the Progressive Israel
Network released the following statement:
The Progressive Israel Network (PIN) strongly condemns the Trump administration’s reported intentions to declare Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Oxfam, and potentially other human rights organizations as antisemitic and to urge other governments not to support them. As leading Jewish progressive organizations committed to pursuing democracy, equality, and peace in Israel, we oppose any attempt to smear or silence human rights organizations because they criticize Israeli government policies. Standing up for human rights is a core Jewish value.
