Rashida Tlaib condemns terror attack in West Bank

US Rep. Rashida Tlaib took to Twitter on Saturday to condemn the terrorist attack in the West Bank in which Rina Shenrav was murdered and her bother and father injured. “This is absolutely tragic & horrible. My heart goes out to Rina's family,” Tlaib tweeted. “More than ever we need to support nonviolent approaches to ending the Israeli occupation and guaranteeing equal rights for all. Extremism that puts innocent lives at risk moves us no closer to peace.” This is absolutely tragic & horrible. My heart goes out to Rina's family.

Tlaib's tweet followed that of IfNotNow, a progressive, activist anti-Israel movement that criticizes Israel's actions in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which also condemned the attack on Twitter. “We are mourning the death of Rina Schnerb [sic], who was only 17 years old,” the group tweeted. “Our thoughts are with her friends and family. We're not confused: the rightward drift of Israeli and US govts make the situation on the ground less safe for Israelis and Palestinians.”
