Only 9 House Representatives voted against a resolution denying that Israel is an apartheid state.
, Tlaib — the sole Palestinian member of Congress — rebuked lawmakers for “reaffirming Congress’s support for apartheid.”
“Let’s just get the record straight here… The United Nations, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Israel’s own largest human rights organization, B’Tselem, all agree that Israel is an apartheid state. To assert otherwise, Mr. Speaker, in the face of this body of evidence, is an attempt to deny the reality and to normalize violence of apartheid,” Tlaib said.
“This week, we’re gonna hear consistently people touting about, ‘oh, this is bipartisan support here.’ Well don’t forget: This body, this Congress, supported a South African apartheid regime, and it was bipartisan as well,” she continued. The lawmaker went on to quote Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s own words about his regime’s hatred of Palestinians.
