Rep. Tlaib Event Honoring Palestinian Nakba Underscores Usual Political Rhetoric: “If you’re pro-Palestinian, you’re antisemitic and anti-Israel”
Speaker McCarthy recently cancelled Rep. Tlaib’s registration of a reception in the House to commemorate Nakba. Senator Sanders then gave Tlaib space in the Senate for her event. Tlaib’s comments there called for the U.S. government to address Israel’s mistreatment of occupied Palestinians. Contributing writer, John Mason, reports on that event and also presents a brief observation on how American Democrats and Republicans both share in antisemitic sentiments, though unequally.
