Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib introduces resolution in US House to recognise Nakba, or catastrophe, referring to forced expulsion of at least 750,000 Palestinians from historic Palestine
US Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has introduced a resolution to recognise the Palestinian Nakba –– the forced expulsion of at least 750,000 Palestinians by then Zionist paramilitaries in 1948 from historic Palestine that lead to the creation of modern Israel.
"Today, I introduced a resolution recognising the Nakba , where 400 Palestinian towns and villages were destroyed, over 700,000 Palestinians uprooted from their homes, and made refugees," Tlaib tweeted on Monday after introducing her resolution to the US House of Representatives. The Palestinian people since the Nakba have been living "under oppression and violent racism," she said, adding, "Nakba is well-documented and continues to play out today."
"We must acknowledge that the humanity of Palestinians is being denied when folks refuse to acknowledge the war crimes and human rights violations in apartheid Israel." The resolution was co-sponsored by Tlaib's fellow Congresswomen Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Betty McCollum, and Marie Newman.
