I suspect she found out that the trip would be on her own dime, thus the change of plans. She had to have an excuse to change her mind, so point the finger at Israel rather than tell the truth....”What? I have to pay for it myself? Never mind....I don’t care that much about my old grandmother.”
Didn't play out as planned did it Rashida, never figured Israel would let you in on humanitarian grounds spoiling your #IsraelMeany theme.

When I won, it gave the Palestinian people hope that someone will finally speak the truth about the inhumane conditions. I can't allow the State of Israel to take away that light by humiliating me & use my love for my sity to bow down to their oppressive & racist policies. Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib ·

Silencing me & treating me like a criminal is not what she wants for me. It would kill a piece of me. I have decided that visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in--fighting against racism, oppression & injustice.

My sity wanted to pick figs w/ me. I broke down reading this & worry every single day after I won for my family's safety. My cousin was texting me which photo of @IlhanMN & I they should put on a welcoming poster when I heard the news. I couldn't tell her. ·
Most likely.
