Rep. Tlaib on Israel Not Vaccinating Palestinians: ‘Important to Know Israel Is a Racist State’
MenRec ^ | 01/21/21 | Staff

TLAIB: “I mean, 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. And it’s really hard to watch as this apartheid state continues to deny their own neighbors, the people that breathe the same air that they breathe, that live in the same communities — you could put a settlement wherever you want, but on the other side of that wall is a farm community village where my grandmother lives and many of our, you know, various family members and others that I know are trying to get to live a good life, a free life, free from these oppressive policies, these racist policies that deny them access to public health, deny them access to freedom of travel, deny them access to academic opportunities. It is so critically important that we call it out. Our country continues to enable that country and continues to enable Netanyahu who continues to spew anti-Arab rhetoric that allows violence towards Palestinians to continue in a way that is so inhumane and doesn’t follow international human rights. And so I think it’s very important. If anything, I hope my colleagues, I hope our country sees what the Palestinians have been trying to tell us for a very long time. That Israel has no intention of ever being caring or allow equality or freedom for them as their neighbors. And you can see it with the distribution of vaccine. You also saw it with the testing and tracing. My family told me they didn’t have access to testing. They would get some side effects and they would use the small little house that they had and quarantine the family member. They had no access at all for any preventive measures, any medication. And again, that continues on and we allow, again, enabling Israel to continue to do that. They have the power to distribute that vaccine to the Palestinian people, their own neighbors, again, feet away from where they live, many of which again could expose them and their family, and it doesn’t — if anything, it just reiterates what the Palestinian people and human rights groups have been telling us, is that this is an apartheid state.”

Can she explain why she didn’t offer her own vaccination to her family?
Or why don’t you pay with your own money to help out the people of “falistine”.
There is no letter “P” in Arabic......

Maybe the Palestinians should invent a vaccine - or build a lab to make vaccines for the world ...

Rather than doing their usual: whining for someone who actually gets off their butts and does something - to GIVE TO THEM.

Boo Hoo... cry me a river guys. Palestinians are soooooo ‘yesterday’...

It’s extremely difficult to vaccinate somebody who’s throwing rocks at you.

The Palestinians would reject Israeli vaccine as poison, besides they should get their vaccine from their own Palestinian government.

TLAIB: “I mean, I think it’s really important to understand Israel is a racist state and ...this is an apartheid state.”


As others have pointed out, the Palestinian Authority has rejected vaccines from Israel, so there’s that. And when did “Palestinians” become a race? And of course there’s the inconvenient fact that the Palestinian Authority has said that if and when it should achieve nationhood, that nation will be “Judenfrei” which kind of sounds sort of apartheid to me.
