Chris Beck
Beck’s campaign site backs “the nation of Israel’s right to exist” and a two-state solution while blaming “the recent destruction of Gaza and the mass killing and dehumanization of innocent Palestinian civilians squarely on” Netanyahu and his government, and pledges: “I will not accept political contributions from AIPAC.”
Beck, a former state representative, is the Democratic nominee in Oregon’s 2nd District, challenging Rep. Cliff Bentz.
His campaign site’s Israel page, verified against the live page, carries his positions in his own words: "I support the nation of Israel’s right to exist and the Israeli government’s historic vigilance to ensure security for its people, as well as the Israeli people’s commitment to their democracy and free-market economy. I support a two-state solution where Jews and Palestinians can co-exist, peacefully, as neighbors, with a shared history and reverence for the sacred land they inhabit." On the war: "I blame the recent destruction of Gaza and the mass killing and dehumanization of innocent Palestinian civilians squarely on him and his government", referring to Prime Minister Netanyahu. The page closes: "I will not accept political contributions from AIPAC."
The same page opposes the U.S. war in Iran in strong terms and criticizes the Iranian regime’s "oppression of its own citizens and continued support of proxy organizations (such as Hezbollah) which attack Israel"; the Iran material stays on the research page.
No statement on U.S. military aid levels or antisemitism was located.
