.@petebuttigieg at #JSt2019: Trump calls neo-Nazis who chanted "Jews will not replace us" "very fine people" while trying to portray himself as a friend of the Jewish people because he aligns with -- not Israel, but right-wing politics in Israel. Americans are smarter than that. pic.twitter.com/WbwBOwramE

"The US has to be engaging with tremendous nuance and a deep reserve of good faith. And nuance and good faith are not exactly hallmarks of the current administration. So I don't see how this gets any better with this White House at the helm."

.@PeteButtigieg: "We have a responsibility -- and we have mechanisms to do this -- to ensure that US taxpayer support for Israel does not get turned into taxpayer support for a move like annexation."#JSt2019 pic.twitter.com/7N0UMYU3H1

.@PeteButtigieg: In the US you can be deeply patriotic without that meaning you have to support the current US president + his agenda. By the same token you can be committed to the US-Israel alliance w/out that meaning you have to support Israel’s right-wing government.#JSt2019 pic.twitter.com/sa5WwsSaEx

"We have a strategic obligation to try to be perceived as an honest broker…. We also have a moral obligation to support the peace and wellbeing of everyone in the Middle East, whether Israeli, Palestinian or otherwise."

Fantastic interview. Buttigieg knows foreign policy. No other candidate comes close.

His candor, nuance, and undeniable comprehension of global issues was startling in contrast to this current administration...

“It shouldn’t be hard to be against bad policies and against antisemitism” - @PeteButtigieg

Lis Smith, I hope that Pete's language from his JStreet talk can be incorporated into his stump speeches. So fresh. Especially the end of the interview, regarding young people. I'm 75, a retired teacher, and I know something about what moves kids. This will, I'm sure.

@PeteButtigieg took a brave, principled position on annexation. @jstreetdotorg and the @PodSavetheWorld team are right to push all candidates on this. https://t.co/ztfuHETHR8

Once again, @PeteButtigieg finds a way to articulate what we all know to be true, but what other politicians have trouble putting into words. #TeamPete #WinTheEra https://t.co/0PW98pgp9P

How great it is to hear a presidential candidate @PeteButtigieg who can effortlessly and thoughtfully discuss the politics around Israel-Palestine and antisemitism without the crutch of the old playbook. And in full sentences. #JSt2019 pic.twitter.com/gtoVPt6tcA
