Squad member Rashida Tlaib is blasted over tribute to Palestinian PhD student who died after ramming her car at Israeli checkpoint then running at soldiers with a knife
Squad member Rashida Tlaib has been blasted after paying tribute to Palestinian PhD student who died after ramming her car at Israeli checkpoint then running at soldiers with a knife.
The US Representative for Michigan sparked backlash after writing a Tweet claiming Israel is dehumanizing Palestinians by withholding the body of Mai Afana, who was reportedly killed after attacking Israeli Defense Force soldiers.
On Saturday, Tlaib shared a picture of Ph.D. student Afana's mother Khuloud, according to Fox News, and said the Israeli government 'killed' Afana and would not return her body to her family. The Tweet read: 'Meet Mai Afana's mother, Khuloud, who is fighting to be able to bury her daughter & begin her healing. Source
