Rep. Ilhan Omar said that she will boycott Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s speech to Congress, citing Israel’s increasingly deadly assault on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and the government’s effort to dramatically weaken judicial oversight.
noting that “arbitrary and deliberate ill-treatment is inflicted upon the Palestinians not only through unlawful practices in detention but also as a carceral continuum comprised of techniques of large-scale confinement — physical, bureaucratic, digital — beyond detention.”
