Summary
A Palestinian American congresswoman presented in Palestine: A Socialist Introduction as, with Ilhan Omar, one of the first two sitting US House members to endorse BDS, in 2018 (Palestine: A Socialist Introduction, lines 1430-1445, 1761-1777).
Details
- The interviewers’ question in Chapter 7 describes her as a Palestinian-American, says she and Omar have defied the status quo narrative on Palestine in Congress, and says Sanders’s claim he will consider cutting funds to Israel followed Israel’s rejection of entry for their delegation to Palestine, in a leftward shift in the lead-up to the 2020 elections (line 1428).
- Israel denied her and Omar access to Palestine for a congressional delegation at President Trump’s suggestion (lines 1692-1700).
- The Afterword records that she vocalized support for the Palestinian right of return and a one-state solution (lines 1836-1845).
