Haaretz – From Two States to One: Michigan’s Rashida Tlaib Shifts Position on Israel
August 16, 2018
In an earlier interview broadcast by Britain’s Channel 4, Tlaib also said she would “absolutely” back withholding aid to Israel, in keeping with her opposition to Israel’s “discrimination.” In response to the Channel 4 interview, the Jewish Democratic Council of America said it “disagrees” with Tlaib’s position.
On August 7, Tlaib won the Democratic nomination for Michigan’s 13th Congressional district, which encompasses parts of Detroit and surrounding suburbs and is home to one of the largest Muslim and Arab-American populations in the United States. Since no candidate ran in the Republican primary, Tlaib is expected to win the seat.
