And so for me I know that when I hear my Jewish constituents or friends or colleagues speak about Palestinians who don’t want safety, or Palestinians who aren’t deserving I stay focused on the actual debate about what that process should look like. And you can’t be in the practice of humanizing and uplifting the suffering of one, if you’re not willing to do that for everyone. And to me, it is the dehumanization and the silencing of a particular pain and suffering of people, should not be ok and normal.
I know that I have a huge Jewish constituency, and you know, every time I meet with them they share stories of safety and sanctuary that they would love for the people of Israel, and most of the time when we’re having the conversation, there is no actual relative that they speak of, and there still is lots of emotion that comes through because it’s family, right? Like my children still speak of Somalia with passion and compassion even though they don’t have a family member there.īut we never really allow space for the stories of Palestinians seeking safety and sanctuary to be uplifted.

Her response (video below) begins around 1:00:00:Īndy Shallal :
