Rep. Tlaib’s Remarks on ‘Apartheid’ Israel Misinterpreted as Anti-Semitic

Congresswoman and Palestinian American Rashida Tlaib recently made comments on “Apartheid Israel.” Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) slammed Tlaib. However, she overlooked the fact that the Israeli state also oppressively occupies Palestinians. Tlaib’s view on a solution is one-state. Most Democratic reps want a two-state solution. John Mason, contributing writer, reports that while semantics lie at the heart of the differences on Israel, to call Tlaib antisemitic because she objects to Israel’s exploitation of Palestinians is wrong.
