Biden Taps Staffer Who Described Palestinian Suicide Bombing as ‘Last Resort of a Desperate People’
An incoming senior Biden staffer who is also poised to be the first Palestinian-American staffer in the White House seemingly justified Palestinian suicide bombings in 2002, describing them as “the last resort of a desperate people.”
Reema Dodin, who was born in North Carolina to Jordanian-Palestinian immigrants, was a student at the University of California at Berkeley in 2001 when she participated in demonstrations at the university that compared Israel to apartheid South Africa and called for the institution to divest from Israel, according to The Jerusalem Post.
Dodin was a student during the Second Intifada, or Al-Aqsa Intifada, which was a Palestinian uprising against Israel that lasted from 2000 to 2005, during which she apparently offered the reasoning of Palestinians who commit suicide bombings against Israelis. She did an interview in 2002 with the Lodi News-Sentinel, which stated, “The suicide bombers were the last resort of a desperate people, Dodin said.” (Read more from “Biden Taps Staffer Who Described Palestinian Suicide Bombing as ‘Last Resort of a Desperate People’” HERE)
