Pak Sahafat – The Democratic representative of the US House of Representatives published a picture of the Palestinian flag in his office and stated that not all Americans support Israel and apartheid.
Rashidah Taleb, a representative of Palestinian descent from the state of Michigan, added on Wednesday local time: Palestinians may be banned from flying their flag under apartheid (Israel), but we still proudly do so in my office.
This member of the US House of Representatives added: I am proud to be a Palestinian American and I want the Palestinian people to know that not all Americans support apartheid (Israel). No one can question our existence.
Taleb previously told the Democratic members of the House of Representatives that despite supporting the racist Israeli government, he cannot claim to follow progressive values.

According to the Intercept website; Some of Israel’s laws are definitely equivalent to the definition of racial discrimination, such as the law passed in 1950, which gives every Jew, that is, every person whose ancestors were Jews, the right to immigrate to Israel and receive Israeli citizenship. This right is granted to the spouses of these people even if they are not Jewish, but Palestinians cannot enjoy this privilege.
The Israeli citizenship law approved in 1952 deprives Palestinian refugees and their children of the legal right of return and other rights to the motherland, and considers Palestinians living in Israel to be Israeli citizens regardless of nationality or other rights.
According to the 2003 Citizenship and Immigration Law, which was extended in March of this year, residents of the West Bank and Gaza Strip cannot automatically obtain Israeli citizenship and residence permits, while this privilege is usually granted to any citizen through marriage.
