Our local state legislators, Sen. Scott Bennett & Rep. Carol Ammons, refused to vote against SB1761, which supports Israeli apartheid.

Israeli apartheid is even worse, in the territories illegally occupied by Israel, than South African apartheid was, a generation ago. (E.g., South Africa never attacked the Bantustans - the Black 'homelands' - militarily as Israeli attacked Gaza; apartheid South Africa needed Black labor, but Israel does not need Palestinian labor.)

Would Sen. Bennett and Rep. Ammons have refused to vote against South African apartheid? They should be asked for an explanation and apology for refusing to oppose SB1761.
