Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) accused Israel of “war crimes” shortly after visiting Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust memorial, prompting then-U.S. Ambassador David Friedman to walk out of a meeting with her in 2018.
The story is told in Friedman’s new memoir.
Jayapal and several other Democrats had been touring Israel with a group sponsored by J Street, a George Soros-backed left-wing organization that opposes many pro-Israeli policies.
Jayapal went to Yad Vashem, a memorial where visiting heads of state and dignitaries pay their respects to the victims of the Holocaust. The memorial is renowned both for the quality of its historical exhibits and for the deeply moving testimonies it has preserved for visitors to experience.
Friedman tells how Jayapal, after visiting Yad Vashem, told Friedman that Israel had committed “war crimes” over a decision by Israel’s Supreme Court permitting demolition of an illegally constructed Bedouin village, Khan al-Ahmar.
"I was paid a visit by a group sponsored by J Street. Many were surprised that I met with them given the outrageous conduct they displayed in opposition to my Senate confirmation as well as their anti-Israel advocacy. But I decided to give them an audience. I was optimistic that there might be some common ground, There turned out to be no basis for my optimism.
Jeremy Ben-Ami, J Street’s president, introduced Jayapal and invited her to speak.
“Mr. Ambassador,” she began. “This is my first visit to Israel and it’s an incredible country. I just visited Yad Vashem, so I certainly have a good sense of the tragedies that have befallen the Jewish People. But I also just visited Khan al-Ahmar, and I must say that there Israel is committing a war crime.”

“In your vast study of the Holocaust, did you happen to notice whether Hitler gave the Jewish people ten years to litigate their rights to remain in their homes? And was there a judicial system in Nazi Germany that bent over backward to find a means for Jews to live safely and with dignity?’
I went on. “Accusing Israel of committing a war crime tells me you know nothing about Israel and nothing about war crimes.” I turned to J Street’s leader and then back to the congresswoman. “You have been ill served by your tour guides.” And I walked out.

Sounds like she will be a perfect guest to be interviewed by Whooptypoo.
Earlier this week, Breitbart News reported another explosive story from Friedman’s book, in which he recalled being told by a senior State Department official, “Don’t be so Jewish. You represent the United States of America.”

What are its pronouns?
Soros operative
She’s a kook.
She heads the Democratic Progressive Caucus - almost hundred of far left congressmen. Basically the left half of Democratic party.
So, yes, she is a main Democratic representative.
Not some extremist outlier, but mainstream of today’s Democratic party.
I knew I disliked her from the moment she opened her mouth. Now I know she is not just an idiot but an antisemite as well. Fits right in with AOC and the Squad.
Most people.visit Holocaust related locations to understand the horror of that event.
Ms Jayapal went so she could get some useful tips.
This is becoming the truth with most on the left. There is no common ground anymore. We keep extending the olive branch and they keep smacking it away.
They are the terrorists and we are Israel trying to make peace. But they refuse to acknowledge our right to even exist.
Reminds me of my visit to Yad Vashem. Leaving in a sombre tone we got into a taxi being driven by a Arab who immediately pronounced what was in the museum as all lies. We knew what we knew but kept the conversation as light and frothy as possible so as not to get into a pointless screaming match in a cab. All we wanted was to get back to our hotel. It was a reminder that there are a good number of walking time bombs in Israel.
Once a Nazi, always a Nazi……
I think the world is getting very close to having a critical mass of these walking time bombs.
I hope they give it to her. She cant help herself. Her racism will be on full display
I’m getting fed-up with evil.
It’s good to know that our commie enemies have such low I.Q.s. This bimbo needs to be deported. She’s too dumb to live in America.
No surprise. Muslims don’t migrate to a country to assimilate but to conquer. Their first steps are to create doubt and mistrust of that country’s present government.
I’ll keep an eye out for you!
