[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]His priorities seem to be healthcare, transportation, and education. Pretty sure a state senate seat won’t involve much foreign policy work. [/quote]

Those are words on his website.  His political activities up to this time have been focused on anti-Israel protests.

And, on his fundraising--he put out a tweet about his dental patients--and said that some procedures were too expensive for them.  He then said that if we wish to help his patients to give money to his campaign.
Problem:  he practices in the District of Columbia.  He's running in Northern Virginia.

And, his statement about avenging the deaths of the protesters in Egypt was posted in August 2018,  You don't find that troubling.

NO.  He's made it clear from his activism that his focus is on Palestine.
Virginia does millions and millions of business with Israel.  Do we really want a BDS person who advocates boycotting Israel in the House of Delegates?

[b]I find the premise in your posts that we should elect candidates to state and local offices based on their fealty (or lack thereof) to the State of Israel more troubling than anything this candidate has said to date regarding international affairs.  There’s no shortage of other people in DC looking after Israel’s interests. What I care about is whether he’d look after those in the 86th District.[/b][/quote]

And, you think someone who has focused on protesting against Israel and organizing boycotts is focused on Virginia #86?  It is very clear from almost everything he has said that his focus is on Palestine.  Did you read his words?  It doesn't concern you that he went to Egypt and protested with the Muslim Brotherhood and that he sees his purpose as [b]avenging [/b]the deaths of the protesters there?  That wasn't written long ago--he wrote that in August 2018.[/quote]

He somehow managed to graduate and become a doctor (dentist) so he seems like a young man who is on top of things.  The fact that he’s expressed views about Palestinian issues doesn’t mean it’s his sole or primary “focus.”  Take your Muslim-bashing somewhere else.  I am so sick of people who go try to sabotage the lives of anyone who isn’t a shill for Israel.[/quote]

He sounds like an anti semite.[/quote]
