CHICAGO — As protesters with Palestinian flags disrupted a Saturday keynote with several members of Congress at the Netroots Nation conference, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) sought to placate the Israel critics.
“I want you to know that we have been fighting to make it clear that Israel is a racist state!” said Jayapal. “That the Palestinian people deserve self-determination and autonomy. That the dream of the two-state solution is slipping away from us. That it does not even feel possible.”
