Washington State Human Rights Commissioner Calls Jews ‘Always Crying’ About Antisemitism — Bipartisan Lawmakers Demand His Removal

Today's lead: A Washington State Human Rights Commissioner went on an antisemitic tirade — calling Jews 'always crying' about antisemitism — while opposing a commission resolution condemning it. Bipartisan lawmakers are now demanding Gov. Bob Ferguson remove him.

Also tracking: The anti-Israel left is gaining real financial firepower to match AIPAC in Democratic primaries, notching wins in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and California — and the New York Times is running a major magazine piece on it today. Plus the Los Angeles teachers union expels a Jewish Zionist activist, bypassing its own rules to do it.

In the wire: EU foreign policy chief Kallas privately compared Israel to apartheid South Africa; the Park Slope Food Co-op boycott vote draws a pro-Israel counter-protest; and the Senate defense bill includes a new U.S.-Israel tech cooperation provision.
