(Jerusalem Post) US Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib attended an online event called “Gaza is Palestine” on Thursday.
Tlaib appeared alongside speakers and BDS supporters such as Mohammed El-Kurd, who has made controversial statements about Israel. Kurd stated in an interview with MSNBC that Israeli politicians “are all terrorists” in June.
A Palestinian activist from Jerusalem, Kurd also openly praised the Second Intifada on Twitter last month.
Two non-governmental organizations, Adalah Justice Project (AJP) and MPower Change, are both pro-BDS organizations that have endorsed this event.
AJP has collaborated with organizations that share ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), an organization designated by the US and EU as a terrorist organization.
