I am the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, and my perspective is needed here now more than ever. I will not be silenced and I will not let anyone distort my words.
I’m from Detroit, where I learned to speak truth to power, even if my voice shakes.
This video is not gruesome, yet it’s just as heartbreaking. Over 10,000 have now been killed in this genocide, but no one who “survives” this will ever be the same. These children are not collateral damage. These children are not worthless casualties. These children are as precious as any innocent children. They don’t just deserve to not die. They deserve to live free.
@GovWhitmer What about Palestine? They’ve been dealing with this for years now. The open air prison, the occupation, thousands of lives taken every single day. You just have to be human to know that this is wrong. You’re a major disappointment. #FreePalaestine#CeasefireForGazaNOW
We're witnessing a genocide and mass murder. Nothing can justify such heinous crimes. Have we not learnt from the holocaust, the world wars etc? Where is basic humanity?
As a man who claims to have recently read the autobiography of Malcolm X & produced a film on Muhammad Ali, this is utterly disgraceful. Google the stances of those honorable men on the Israeli occupation of Palestine & reconsider this post that your agent probably wrote for you.
Israel just told a million Palestinians it has starved and bombed with chemical weapons to evacuate in 24 hours. Where to? Gaza is shut off by land & sea from every direction with no water or fuel. Death toll close to 2000 & half a million homes destroyed.
This is terrorism.
"Animals"
"Give "em hell"
"Finish them"
Our loved ones in Gaza are cut off from food, water, & power as they’re being slaughtered in the dark.
No refuge. No hospitals. 2 million human beings collectively punished by a genocidal occupying regime.
If you’re ok with this monstrosity, don’t you dare lecture us about humanity.
Do you know what happiness is? Happiness is a state of mind. Yes. We often expect everything to be perfect for us to be happy. No. Things don’t have to be perfect, but you need only to have peace of mind to achieve it. Be at peace with yourself and happiness will follow.
