BREAKING:
Dozens of @RepKClark's constituents just delivered a letter and petition to staff at her Malden office. Israel designated 6 Palestinian human rights orgs as terrorists. We demand Biden and Blinken condemn this repression of Palestinians #StandWithThe6
The constituent group also told her staffers to #DropAIPAC. AIPAC supports apartheid Israel.
Also, AIPAC endorsed 109 members of Congress who supported the Jan 6th insurrection - and AIPAC endorsed Rep Katherine Clark. Is that the company @TeamKClark wants to keep?
One thing @repkclark can do right now is sign on to #HR751: @BettyMcCollum04's bill condemning Israel for designating Palestinian human rights groups as terrorists

Sami Abu Shehadeh, member of Balad party in Israeli Knesset, is visiting the US for the first time:
"There are 1.7M Palestinian citizens of Israel. We didn't emigrate. Israel emigrated to us. Often our legitimate political demonstrations are met by inhumane violence by Israel"
"There is a continued process of ethnic cleansing from the Nakba to #sheikhjarrah. And taking land is the main way this is done. This is why #LandDay is so important" Sami Abu Shehadeh
"I don't know why they get crazy when we call Israel apartheid! In every sense that is what Israel is. Israel controls everything including Gaza and the borders. There are different legal systems for different people. If you are Jewish, you have supremacy in Israel"
