Tlaib: Israel is a racist state

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) on Tuesday accused Israel of racism due to its failure to offer to distribute coronavirus vaccines to Palestinian Arabs.

“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,” the congresswoman, who is of Palestinian Arab descent, told Democracy Now.
