HISTORIC BRAVERY ON #PALESTINE IN CONGRESS: w/ #GazaUnderAttack Israel's military invades Gaza with force like what killed 480 kids in 2014
Rep. @RashidaTlaib faced brutality w/"We must condition aid to Israel on compliance with international human rights & ending apartheid"
🧵
As #Israeli police-supported lynch mobs attacked #Palestinian neighbors in Haifa,
@RashidaTlaib spoke solidarity & said her Black neighbors who know what it's like to be killed & displaced: "The freedom of Palestinians is connected to the fight of people all over the world."
As #IsraeliApartheid tries to silence resistance to injustice,
@RashidaTlaib spoke truth: "Life under apartheid rips Palestinians of their dignity. How would you feel if you had to go through dehumanizing checkpoints two blocks from your home to go to the doctor"
#FreePalestine
As Israel tries to tear Mona & @m7mdkurd from their homes when they resist to #SaveSheikhJarrah,
@RashidaTlaib on the House floor condemned the root, the Nakba: "The catastrophe of displacement and dehumanization in their homeland has been going on since 1948"
#FreePalestine
As Israel tries to justify mass murder with #GazaUnderAttack,
@RashidaTlaib read the testimony of @SometimesPooh, a mother in Gaza, and said: "We all deserve freedom, liberty and justice. No child, whoever they are, should have to worry that death will rain from the sky."
"If there is one thing that Detroit instilled in this Palestinian girl it is: you speak to power, even if your voice waivers" - @RashidaTlaib, we send gratitude.
