The Smearing of Cori Bush for Being Truthful About the Gaza War.

- Abstract
This article discusses the smearing of Congresswoman Cori Bush for her comments about the Gaza war. After introducing a ceasefire resolution in the House, Bush was criticized by a newspaper columnist who claimed her comments were anti-Israel and made her unfit for reelection. It is revealed that Bush's opponent, Wesley Bell, has received significant funding from AIPAC, a lobby group known for its anti-Palestinian stance. The article highlights the large amount of money spent to attack Bush and the tactics used to undermine her campaign. It also addresses the denial of Israel's actions as ethnic cleansing and the conflation of criticism of Israel with antisemitism.
