Palestinian-American wins New York State Senate primary race, aims to stop funding to Israel

In a significant political shift, Palestinian-American candidate Kawas has triumphed in the New York State Senate primary, advocating a bold stance against funding to Israel. As a democratic socialist, she spearheaded the "Not On Our Dime" campaign, which seeks to impose taxes on any New York-based organizations that support Israel or its charities. This move could reshape the state's stance on Israel funding and highlights growing tensions between progressive and pro-Israel communities in the U.S.
