Today, I introduced a resolution recognizing the Nakba (catastrophe), where 400 Palestinian towns and villages were destroyed, over 700,000 Palestinians uprooted from their homes, and made refugees.
On this day, we must promote human rights & justice. The Palestinian people since the 48 Nakba have been living under oppression and violent racism. Silence + blank checks enables more death and violence.
The Nakba is well-documented and continues to play out today. We must acknowledge that the humanity of Palestinians is being denied when folks refuse to acknowledge the war crimes and human rights violations in apartheid Israel. #Nakba74! middleeasteye.net/discover/israe…

The crowd begins to chant: “from New York to Palestine, globalize the intifada”

This is a soft call for violence against Jews globally, as the second intifada was characterized by terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians with suicide bombings, vehicle attacks, etc.
