Israel is a racist state
-
Last week, Rep Pramila Jayapal called Israel a "racist state."
“Hey guys, can I say something? Can I say something as somebody that’s been in the streets and has participated in a lot of demonstrations?” Jayapal said. “I want you to know that we have been fighting to make it clear that Israel is a racist state, that the Palestinian people deserve self-determination and autonomy, that the dream of a two-state solution is slipping away from us, that it does not even feel possible.
She tried to walk it back, but the GOP pushed a resolution in the House stating that Israel is not a racist state.
9 congressmen voted against the resolution:
- Jamaal Bowman of New York,
- Cori Bush of Missouri,
- Andre Carson of Indiana,
- Summer Lee of Pennsylvania,
- Ilhan Omar of Minnesota,
- Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts,
- Delia Ramirez of Illinois
- Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.
