Palestine Defenders Hail Rep. Tlaib’s ‘Historic’ Nakba Resolution
On Monday, human rights activists hailed a “historic” U.S. House of Representatives resolution recognizing the Nakba introduced by Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib.
Six progressive House co-sponsors supported Tlaib’s resolution recognizing the ongoing ethnic cleansing campaign against Palestinians perpetrated by Israel.
Tlaib, a Michigan Democrat, is the first Palestinian-American woman elected to Congress.
Her House Resolution Recognizing the Nakba and Palestinian Refugees’ Rights commemorates the 74th anniversary of the Nakba, or “catastrophe.”
Its co-sponsors are Democratic Reps. Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, Betty McCollum, Marie Newman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ilhan Omar.
