Last Wednesday, Representative Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) drew attention after she chose to fly a flag used by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) outside of her office and, not for the first time, decried Israel as an “apartheid” state. Yet, Tlaib has remained silent amid recent revelations about human-rights abuses perpetrated against Palestinians.

Palestinians in Gaza are standing up to Hamas. For nearly two decades, the terrorist group has maintained an iron grip on its coastal enclave. But rumblings of discontent are growing louder, and one American organization is doing its utmost to make sure they’re heard.
