Congressional candidate unapologetic after profane tirade against Israel
Original: Congressional candidate unapologetic after video shows profane tirade against Israel
A candidate for the US Congress is standing by remarks captured on video in which they directed a profanity-laden outburst against Israel. The candidate has issued no apology, saying they do not regret the comments despite the clip circulating widely. The incident has drawn criticism and debate over the tone of political discourse on Israel ahead of the election.
Why now: The candidate's refusal to apologize for the viral video has made the story a flashpoint in US politics.
