Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar released a joint statement condemning anti-Palestinian sentiment in U.S. politics.
It added,"This legislation — by a former cabinet official no less — directly violates the U.S. Constitution, and would illegally destroy the lives of the hundreds of thousands of Palestinian immigrants who live in and contribute to American society. Though intended to target Muslims, this bill will also hurt Palestinian Christians, who will be targeted by these provisions. History will harshly judge this xenophobic, punitive and unconstitutional measure.
"Unfortunately, this legislation is part of a growing tide of bigoted anti-Muslim, anti-Arab and anti Palestinian hate pervading our politics," it continued."Senator Lindsey Graham went on national television to declare a 'religious war and said we should 'level' the Gaza Strip. Senator Marco Rubio, when asked specifically about avoiding civilian casualties in Gaza, said Israel cannot co-exist with quote 'these savages...they have to be eradicated.
