The Congressional Black Caucus and other Democratic lawmakers condemned anti-Israel journalist Rula Jebreal on Friday after she criticized House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) for supporting Israel.
“His name is ‘Hakeem.’ ‘Hakeem is an Arabic name which means ‘healer,'” Jebreal said while speaking with commentator Wajahat Ali on his podcast The Left Hook. “He is not a healer, he’s a divider. He is a bought and paid by AIPAC monkey, with all due respect. And I don’t mean it in a racist way, he is just basically an errand boy.” Jebreal clarified that Jeffries reminded her of the three wise monkeys, who cannot hear, see, or speak, but her comment was quickly denounced by Democrats.
