Good stay there.

From the Detroit News article on the same thing:
"The couple are currently vacationing in Italy with Stevens' mother before traveling together in the coming days to Israel, where Turkish’s father was born in Haifa and he still has family. Turkish's grandparents were Holocaust refugees, he said.
The main purpose of the trip is to meet with survivors of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas assault on Israel, including a visit to the site of the music festival in southern Israel that was attacked, said Turkish and Stevens, who is co-chair of the Bipartisan Congressional Hostage Task Force."

So in other words, they got invited there by the occupation government. This is how they typically do these events, show how much they have to "defend" themselves to lay out the groundwork and then establish channels for networking. I'm just surprised they do this for one politician who just ate shit in a primary, normally when i hear about this they invite delegations of at least a dozen MPs.
I'll never understand. Chengdu is right there. Tokyo is right there.
You get a vacation and you choose fucking Israel? They don't even have a little machine where you put in 70 cents and a machine turns an orange into orange juice. They don't even have a convenience store where you can mix a smoothie in a little machine.
What's even the fucking POINT?!
I can't tell if you're just trying to elicit this thought in the reader, but it's to pander to AIPAC
I got a little bit lost in the sauce and abstracted away from Stevens to pontificate about anybody voluntarily choosing to go to Tel Aviv when there are a bunch of fun options for a similar travel time.
I am absolutely giddy that she ate shit against El-Sayed and I hope Rogers follows suit soon.
Also, Israel is always a bad choice for a honeymoon/romantic trip, but right now? Like, kind of active warzone now?

This is like every supermarket where I live? Is this really a novelty?
Won't be hearing anyone pledgin' allegiance to maow there, that's for sure.
Dodged a real bullet with her. Now if Abdul will stop being intimidated around AIPAC smears of Hasan he can power through this.
I wonder if she'll do an Eric Adams and be like "I was the nominee for YOU"
