It’s bizarre that, in situations like this, reactionary people call for increased police presence, instead of recognizing that NYC has the highest funded police department in the nation and yet the police fail to protect people from violence.

Giving them more $ isn’t the answer.

@RashidaTlaib

I’m not Palestinian, nor am I Arab American, nor a Muslim. So I will never know what it’s like to be denied entry to Israel or Palestine on that basis, as @RashidaTlaib & @IlhanMN have been.

However, this is my passport, stamped in 2014 when Israel denied my entry at the border.

I had traveled to Israel & Palestine multiple times previously, and returned in July of 2014 to visit friends in the West Bank and assist in a community development project there. I was detained for ~10 hours at Allenby. I was ultimately denied entry for my anti-occupation views.

I wrote about the experience at the time, as many Americans have done after being denied entry by the IDF solely based on our political views. I was told then, by border security who greeted me when the IDF sent me back to Jordan, that the ban was for 5 years.

It’s quite an experience to be forced last week to publicly disclose my own account of being assaulted, to then learn that day about several others who were also assaulted by him, followed immediately by the news cycle we’re now in about survivors, doubters, and #WhyDidntIReport

I was assaulted by him in November of 2013. A week or so later he texted me saying: “Please don’t tell anyone about this.” He literally said those words to me. #WhyDidntIReport? Let me count the ways.

The only person I told immediately afterward was a close friend. I ran out of the apartment building, messaged my friend and said: “Are you awake? Please tell me you’re awake.” He was the only person who knew where I was. But what evidence did I have? What could I do but go home?
