Kristina Knickerbocker
Knickerbocker has not stated a position on U.S. weapons or money for the government of Israel that could be verified. Her campaign platform, read in full, mentions neither Israel nor Gaza. Two statements the research credited to her turned out to be another politician's.
Knickerbocker is the Democratic candidate for Ohio's 10th District, running against Rep. Mike Turner.
Her campaign priorities page was opened and read in full. It does not mention Israel or Gaza anywhere, and covers healthcare access, government reform and affordability.
The research attributed two forceful statements to her, that Prime Minister Netanyahu "belongs in The Hague" and that he is "the architect of the genocide against Palestinians in Gaza." Both were opened and checked. **Both belong to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.** They appear in a blog's quotation round-up, each with his name attached directly beneath it, and neither has anything to do with this candidate. Nothing from them is used.
The research also turns up that in May 2026 she answered a questionnaire from the Greater Dayton Peace Coalition on U.S. military aid to Israel, military spending and human rights. That would be the most useful thing on her record, and no source for it was supplied or located, so its contents are unknown.
She has no federal voting record.
So the question is genuinely open. You are better placed to get an answer than we are, and in this case there may already be one on paper: the Greater Dayton Peace Coalition has her responses. Ask her directly, or ask them, and send us the reply.
Research
U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel
- **No verified statement.** Her campaign priorities page was opened and read in full: **zero mentions of Israel, zero of Gaza.**
- [Reported, May 2026, no source] The research states she submitted responses to a Greater Dayton Peace Coalition candidate questionnaire covering U.S. military aid to Israel, military spending and human rights. **No URL for that questionnaire appears anywhere in the research and none was located.** Its contents are therefore unknown. This is the single most likely place an answer exists.
- She has no federal voting record.
U.S. aid to Palestinians
- No statement located.
Characterization of the conflict
- No verified statement located.
⚠⚠ TWO QUOTES THAT BELONG TO SOMEBODY ELSE ENTIRELY
- The research credited her, dated 21 July 2026, with: "I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague" and "He's the architect of the genocide against Palestinians in Gaza as Israel's prime minister."
- Its source, a WordPress site's "mid-day digest", was opened and read in full. Both sentences appear there in a quotation round-up section, and **each one is attributed directly beneath it to "New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani."** The full first quotation reads: "I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague. He's a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court." It is his.
- The page is a 120,000-character aggregation of unrelated items and mentions this candidate **once**, elsewhere in the digest. The research appears to have taken quotations from a quote-compilation page and attached them to the wrong person, who is not a congressional candidate and does not appear in this dataset.
- Nothing from that page is used. **Publishing those two sentences as hers would have put a mayor's words about war crimes into a House challenger's mouth.**
Related rhetoric and lobbying
- Nothing verified. The research refers to questionnaire responses on campaign finance and foreign policy lobbying from the same unlocated Greater Dayton Peace Coalition survey.
Safety and antisemitism (context)
- Nothing located.
Consulted
- Ballotpedia; her campaign priorities page (opened); a Dayton 24/7 Now campaign-announcement video and a Springfield News-Sun post, both Facebook and not readable; a post in a Facebook group, also unreadable and a group source.
