Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
To what? Booker's publicly available voting record?
That would be a helpful source, but that isnt the best because bills are stuffed with so many different things that it could be misleading
Better would be a reputable source that quotes him saying that he supports Zionism.

Translation: I made this up
You think I made up that Booker is a Zionist? I'll cite whatever but I don't understand what I'm being asked to cite.
Wtf. Cite every claim. This is the internet.
Why do you think you wouldn't need to cite facts here? Gtfo if you think you can spread misinformation
I don't owe you shit, but here you go: https://www.booker.senate.gov/news/press/booker-statement-on-israel-hamas-ceasefire-deal
From Cory Booker's own website in regards to the recent ceasefire:
He's a Zionist. He says right there on his own website that Israel has a right to exist as specifically an ethnonationalist state. That's what a Zionist is. It's someone who supports the creation/maintenance of a ethnically/religiously Jewish nation-state in the region of Palestine with Palestinian Arabs either disenfranchised, made a minority, or completely removed. A Zionist supports Israel as a sovereign Jewish homeland with a Jewish identity along with a nation-state apparatus to enforce this status as homeland.
For further information, please consult CodePink's anti-zionist website boughtbyzionism.org. Here is the page for Cory Booker:

As you see, he's taken $893,998 from AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which is a Zionist lobbying group.
Do you want any further citations? Here is an opensecrets.org search for Zionist lobbying money to various politicians. If you are skeptical of opensecrets, it's used as a unbiased source of information for AP, the Washington Post, Politico, NBC News, NPR, and the New York Times. Opensecrets cites Federal Election Comission data, which is public information.

The first link is sufficient, thanks. He's a Zionist.
And, you dont owe it to me. You do owe it to this Lemmy community.

"Hey these Democrats sure do give a lot of money to Israel"
"UHHH SOURCE?"

What did you want them to cite?
