Apartheid is an Afrikaans[19] word meaning "separateness", or "the state of being apart", literally "apart-hood" (from the Afrikaans suffix -heid).[20][21] Its first recorded use was in 1929.[9]
Dear President Biden
Antisemitism is evil and wrong- and so is Israel's cruel quest to
destroy and displace the native non-Jewish people of historic Palestine.
I am sure there are nice and good people who live in Israel, but Israel is not a fair or just nation state.
Israel's ongoing quest to define itself as Jewish motivates Israel's heavily armed Zionist soldiers and settlers to persecute, impoverish, and displace indigenous Christian and Muslim men, women and children.
Why is our Congress idolizing and funding such a fiasco of injustice!
But right now American taxpayers are being forced to fund, protect, and pander to Israel's "Jewishness". Let religion be a personal private choice, not a taxpayer funded requirement here and there.
Be a staunch partner and supporter of the rule of fair and just laws, real freedom and true democratic values.... Not Israel
Sincerely,
Anne Selden Annab

"Members of "the squad" — a group of [nine] progressive lawmakers of color — have fiercely and publicly criticized Israel’s treatment of the Palestinian people for several years."
WASHINGTON — The House overwhelmingly voted Tuesday to pass a resolution condemning antisemitism and expressing support for Israel, just days after Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal faced backlash from both parties for calling Israel a “racist state.”
The vote was 412-9, with 195 Democrats joining all Republicans in voting yes. Nine progressive Democrats of color voted against the nonbinding resolution, several of whom have denounced Israel as an apartheid state that oppresses Palestinians. One Democrat, Betty McCollum of Minnesota, voted present.
