A Democrat in the Massachusetts state legislature has called the Israeli government a “terrorist regime” and accused the Jewish state of actively working to kill Palestinian Arabs.
In a tweet last Friday, Representative Jamie Zahlaway Belsito of the Massachusetts House of Representatives (Democrat–4th Essex) claimed Israel is an apartheid regime guilty of genocide.
Belsito, the first Arab American woman to be elected to public office in the state, was first elected in a special election last year.
In her post to Twitter Friday, Belsito urged the Biden White House to “acknowledge” that the Israeli government is “on a mission to kill Palestinians.”
She went on to deny that terrorism or antisemitism were factors in the Arab-Israeli conflict.
