Executive summary
Jasmine Crockett has a mixed record on Israel military aid in 2024–2025: she opposed the November 2023 standalone House Republican bill described as “partisan” (voted No) but is recorded in some trackers and reports as voting for larger aid packages in 2024 (including a yea on a $26 billion measure, H.R. 8034) and supporting other Israel funding after October 7, 2023 [1] [2] [3]. Progressive critics and some advocacy scorecards flag her votes for Israel aid as out of step with the most vocal left-wing lawmakers [2] [4].
1. Crockett’s votes: no to some standalone bills, yes to larger aid packages
Crockett publicly framed her November 2023 vote against H.R. 6126 as a rejection of “partisan, inadequate, and fiscally irresponsible” language attached to emergency Israel aid and said “I vote NO on this bill” [1]. At the same time, multiple sources record Crockett casting affirmative votes on major 2024 Israel funding measures—most notably a yea on what trackers list as H.R. 8034 (reported as a $26 billion Israel aid package in 2024)—and other votes described broadly as “support[ing] Israel” after the October 7 attacks [2] [3].
2. How that compares to other progressive Democrats
Available sources describe Crockett as a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus but show her voting pattern as more moderate on Israel aid relative to the most outspoken progressives. Some progressives pushed to cut or condition aid and have been among a small cohort of House Democrats voting against large Israel packages; Crockett’s yea votes on certain 2024 measures and absence from some “cut-aid” votes mark her as differing from that cohort [2] [4]. Sources note that advocacy groups and left-leaning critics have criticized her record as “poor” on Israel–Palestine relative to progressive expectations [2] [4].
3. Advocacy, scorecards and partisan narratives — conflicting framings
Left advocacy groups and campaign trackers present competing takes: some scorecards portray Crockett as voting “with” peace or progressive organizations over her lifetime (Peace Action’s profile lists her as having voted with them over her lifetime) while other activists and outlets accuse her of enabling Israel’s military campaign by supporting large aid packages [5] [2]. ReverseCanary and social posts assert she voted yea on big 2024 aid bills and emphasize zero AIPAC money to her campaign, framing her as ideologically complicated [2] [6]. Her public messaging—criticizing partisan tactics while supporting larger packages in other votes—feeds both narratives [1] [2].
4. Public statements versus roll-call realities
Crockett’s public statements stressed opposition to how some bills were structured (calling H.R. 6126 “partisan” and “fiscally irresponsible”) and called for better, more comprehensive approaches [1]. At the same time, roll-call records and multiple reporting outlets document affirmative votes on other Israel aid measures in 2024, which critics interpret as supporting continued military assistance [2] [4]. This split between procedural objections and support for broad aid is central to the controversy and to comparisons with colleagues who either uniformly opposed aid or uniformly backed it [1] [2].
5. Limitations in the available reporting
Available sources document several specific votes and offer interpretive narratives, but do not provide a complete, item-by-item roll-call ledger of every Israel-related vote Crockett cast in 2024–2025 within this dataset. A precise side-by-side numeric comparison (e.g., percent of Israel-related votes aligned with progressive caucus averages) is not available in the provided sources; those statistics are “not found in current reporting” here (not found in current reporting). The sources do, however, consistently report that she both opposed at least one GOP-backed standalone bill and supported at least one large 2024 aid measure [1] [2].
6. Political consequences and context
Reporting on Crockett’s national profile—her 2025 Senate bid coverage and critiques from both progressives and centrists—links her Israel votes to broader questions about electability and intra-party positioning. Critics argue her pro-aid votes alienate the left and complicate her appeal to progressive-forward voters; supporters point to the absence of pro-Israel PAC money and her public criticism of certain bills to counter that characterization [7] [6] [2]. Both frames appear in contemporary coverage of her candidacy and congressional record [3] [7].
Summary judgement: available sources show Crockett’s record is mixed—opposed some narrowly framed Republican bills and yet voted for major 2024 aid packages—putting her between the most hawkish Democrats and the most anti-aid progressives; exact across-the-board comparisons with all other progressive Democrats are not fully documented in the supplied reporting [1] [2] [3].
