Ethics complaint filed against New Hampshire lawmakers over Israeli-funded trip

Four New Hampshire Republican state legislators attended the ‘50 States, One Israel’ conference in September 2025, with flights, luxury hotels, meals, and tours paid for by the Israeli government. The trip was valued at $6,500 per attendee. New Hampshire ethics rules limit gifts from a single source to $50. The New Hampshire Coalition for a Just Peace in the Middle East has filed a formal ethics complaint against Senate Ways and Means Chairman Tim Lang, Senate Energy and Natural Resources Chairman Kevin Avard, House Judiciary Chairman Robert Lynn, and House Housing Chairman Joe Alexander. Sharon Racusin, an organizer with the coalition, said: ‘For them to just go there with blinders on and not think that anybody was going to say, Wait a minute, there’s a genocide going on and you’re having a good time eating, drinking. It’s absolutely shocking.’ Mohammad Dana, a Palestinian-American resident of Dover, said: ‘Their duty is not to go over to Israel to lobby for them and cover up for them and be a PR representative for the Israeli government. Their job is here in New Hampshire to help their constituents.’ Senator Lang said the complaint is a political ploy and that he is confident they will be exonerated. A similar complaint against five Vermont lawmakers was dismissed by that state’s House Ethics Panel earlier this year.

This community documents the full spectrum of Zionist violence – physical, structural, and political. That includes:

Settler attacks, land theft, and home demolitions
Israeli military operations and arms deals
AIPAC, the Israel lobby, and their influence on Western politics
Media censorship and suppression of Palestine coverage
Book excerpts, articles, and footage that expose how Zionist power operates

We focus on what Western media ignores. We do not exaggerate. We do not lie. The facts are damning on their own.

⚠️ Why Tankie.tube? Western PeerTube instances delete my videos. Tankie.tube does not. That is the only reason. It says nothing about my politics.
