BDS Movement Co-Founder Lauds AOC, Other Members of Congress for Calling Israel an ‘Apartheid State’

EXCERPT:

BARGHOUTI: “They don’t support yet. They’re on their way, they’re getting there. Now they realize Israel is an apartheid state. That was an absolute taboo just a year ago. Today, how many members of Congress are saying Israel is an apartheid state? How many members of Congress are calling for conditioning aid to Israel or cutting military funding to Israel altogether? Cori Bush, for example, Congresswoman Cori Bush connected the Palestinian liberation with a Black Lives Matter movement, saying that, 'Let’s not send any military funding to an apartheid regime. We must be anti-apartheid, period,' she said. AOC said apartheid is not democracy. So those voices are rising.”
