For years, I have seen how American citizens living in Palestine, myself included, have been disregarded by the U.S. government and by those who are meant to “help us” and ensure our safety abroad.
A “town hall” hosted by the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs exposed the charade of Israel’s bid to enter the U.S. waiver program and confirmed what we already knew: Israel has no plans to ensure equality, and the U.S. knows it but doesn’t care.
