Reminiscent of Apartheid South Africa Trump and Netanyahu Form Unholy Alliance to Silence Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaibs Support of the Nonviolent Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) Movement in Support of Palestinian People! with
Ali Albunimah, Co-founder of The Electronic Intifada and author of The Battle for Justice in Palestine
In a moving press conference, Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar stood defiantly against the Israeli governments attempts to repress and silence them. They used their platform in a way that we dont see often enough. They deliberately amplified the voices of Palestinian-Americans who have been denied the right to return to their homeland freely, and the brutal oppression that Palestinians experience every single day. In many ways recent events broke open conversations and political space that advocates have been working to create for years on Palestinian demands to return home, defend their right to boycott for justice, and hold Israel accountable for decades of abuses. Right now they are center stage in the mainstream media and Congress.
