‘Clueless’: Jewish Groups Blast Tlaib For Claiming Israel Is A Racist, Apartheid State Denying Vaccine To Her Grandmother
“I think it’s really important to understand Israel is a racist state and that they would deny Palestinians, like my grandmother, access to a vaccine, that they don’t believe that she’s an equal human being that deserves to live, deserves to be able to be protected by this global pandemic,” Tlaib told Democracy Now! host Ann Goodman in response a to a question about Israel vaccinating about 20% of its citizens.
“And it’s really hard to watch as this apartheid state continues to deny their own neighbors, the people that breathe the same air they breathe, that live in the same communities,” Tlaib continued, alleging that Israel is implementing “racist policies” that deny Palestinians basic freedoms.
