Gov. Gavin Newsom has a tight timeline to get his proposed congressional maps on the ballot for a November special election. Republicans are trying to slow him down.
How the trips will affect these office holders long-term is uncertain. However, for many, the trips never stop reverberating — such as for San Francisco’s then-Mayor Gavin Newsom, who was part of an Israel trip in May 2008.
Now lieutenant governor of California, Newsom, along with wife Jennifer Seibel, his fiancée at that time, took part in a mission sponsored by the S.F.-based Jewish Community Federation. In Israel, Newsom toured high-tech companies, met with counterparts in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa, and received security briefings at the Lebanese and West Bank borders.
He said this week he was struck by “how remarkably small Israel is. From a security perspective [the trip] reinforced what I always believed: Standing there right on the border, you understand the politics a lot better.”
Like other Bay Area politicians, Newsom said his pre-trip expectations were formed from exposure to media.
“Invariably that was framed in context of conflict, of stress, of friction,” he said. “I experienced something 180 degrees different. In the context of policymaking, it’s a reminder that one cannot substitute actual experience with an academic experience. It’s essential for anyone in positions of public life that they experience Israel first-hand.”
He said the trip helped him connect more deeply with the economic and cultural ties between Israel and the Bay Area. Along those lines, as lieutenant governor he has pushed for the opening of a permanent California trade office in Israel.
There used to be one there, and in other parts of the world, but all were eliminated in budget cuts in 2003.
“I thought this was an overreaction,” Newsom said. “Rather than reforming it, they eliminated it. California is competing with states like Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi, which all have foreign offices. California has none anywhere.”
Moreover, said Newsom, a onetime wine merchant and restaurateur, “I say this all the time: Some of the best food I ever had was in Israel.”
They never have, these freaks were shushing anyone criticizing genocide joe until he got shuffled offstage due to him being bad on tv and they immediately rallied behind kamala. Not even calling for primaries or anything, the dems said “this is who you’ll vote for” and thats all they need. They are the dems most whipped dogs and would vote for mussolini if the dem leadership told them it was their best chance to beat trump. They might complain about it, but will always end their complaints with their pledge of loyalty “its still better than trump”
I’m not attacking him, just posting some facts some people might be interested in. Many people regard this conflict as a test for US politicians, it’s always good to know more.
I have no interest in reading your article thanks.
why? It’s just information, if fake I would like to know too.
Well, you see, the commenter straight up lied when they said “I’m not attacking him”. So with that in mind, it makes more sense that he’d post something that has nothing to do with gerrymandering.
It may not have anything to do with Republicans. The commenter may just be one of the losers that cares more about the Israel issue than letting a fascist and his fascist party take over our nation.
What people don’t understand, I think, about the pro-Palestine issue is that it’s a litmus test for folks. If you can brave and stand up against this genocide, then we can trust you on a variety of different issues. And Zoran didn’t win in spite of his pro-Palestine position. He won a majority of Jewish voters because of it.
Are you making similarreplies to posts about conservatives? Or are you only try to sour peoples views of democrats? I see a lot of “what about Israel” posts any time a democrat is mentioned. But those same people don’t seem to give a damn that republicans are not only doing the same or worse with Israel, but also trying to destroy America.
The destroy America is what this whole post was about, and for some reason you felt compelled to bring up Israel. And I have no problem saying that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and the US is not only complicit, but seeming encuaging it, but that has nothing to do with this post.

“Conservatives” right now are extreme fascists. They talk like nazi, act like nazi and support nazism openly. There is no point in telling a nazi he is one, he knows it and he is proud of it. I try to appeal to a reasonable audience, yes.

People (me included) are genuinely concerned about the involvement of Israel in the US.
If you are a democrat and are expecting a blue wave of votes with Newsom like it happened with Mandami, you will be disappointed. Just like it happened with Kamala.
People do care about this, polls shows it’s their number 1 issue right now. This whole Newsom show about talking though and drawing maps is a distraction from Epstein and Gaza.

Of all the other criticisms people have had of Newsom, you’re only posting about his relationship with Israel. This suggests an ulterior motive or a bias on your part.

Cool, now do Greg Abbott.
That’s the spirit! He’s such a strong supporter of Israel some might say they planted him. (please laugh)
The official dedication of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem took place on May 14th. Governor Abbott supports this decision that further solidifies our important partnership with Israel.

Cool smear attempt.
I don’t care.
You don’t care that a possible Dem leader supports genocide?

Please read this article. You can double check all the info, but they are correct.
Not defending Newsom, just wanted to point out that what you posted was very old.
I have no interest in reading your article thanks.

Im extremely confused what this has to do with gerrymandering.
Well, you see, the commenter straight up lied when they said “I’m not attacking him”. So with that in mind, it makes more sense that he’d post something that has nothing to do with gerrymandering.
The campaign to smear anyone that challenges republicans has started already.
It may not have anything to do with Republicans. The commenter may just be one of the losers that cares more about the Israel issue than letting a fascist and his fascist party take over our nation.
That’s most of them from my experience. Same result at the end of the day either way.

Gavin Newsom is a distraction. There won’t be any more elections.
There won’t be fair election in the US anymore. Newsom is a distraction from Epstein and Gaza.

Look at their post history, astroturfing alt account masquerading as a social media profile.
