Rep. Rashida Tlaib: Israel has apartheid system, two-state solution won’t work 'We need to change our policies when it comes to the state of Israel. We desperately need to look at it [through] a different lens,' Tlaib told Al Jazeera.

(JNS) U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) stated in an interview with the Al Jazeera network on Sept. 16 that she does not see how a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can work.
