Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., has voiced sharp criticism against the Democratic National Convention for excluding Palestinian American perspectives during the event, emphasizing the feelings of invisibility and neglect experienced by her community, The Hill reported.

In a recent interview with Zeteo, a news organization founded by former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan, Tlaib expressed her deep frustration, saying, “It’s hard not to feel invisible as a Palestinian American. Our trauma and pain feel unseen and ignored by both parties. One party uses our identity as a slur, and the other refuses to hear from us. Where is the shared humanity? Ignoring us won’t stop the genocide.”

Tlaib’s remarks reflect a growing discontent among progressive Democrats who have criticized the DNC for what they perceive as a lack of representation and acknowledgment of Palestinian experiences. This criticism intensified after the convention, which took place last week in Chicago, after it failed to feature a Palestinian speaker, despite calls from various groups, including the Uncommitted National Movement, to do so.
