Freedom of Speech…NOT!

CODEPINK activist Rae Abileah was arrested at the George Washington University Hospital in Washington D.C. on Tuesday after she was tackled by members of the American-"Israel" Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). As "Israeli" Prime Minister was giving his speech to Congress, the 28-year-old Jewish American woman yelled "stop "Israeli" war crimes," said the anti-war group.
Abileah was taken to the George Washington University Hospital, where she was being treating for neck and shoulder injuries.

Claiming democracy, Netanyahu said after being interrupted by Abileah "You know I take it as a badge of honor, and so should you, that in our free societies that you can have protest".

Speaking from her hospital bed, Abileah said she was in "great pain" but that it was nothing "compared to the pain and suffering that Palestinians go through on a regular basis."
"I have been to Gaza and the West Bank, I have seen Palestinians homes bombed and bulldozed, I have talked to mothers whose children have been killed during the invasion of Gaza, I have seen the Jewish-only roads leading to ever-expanding settlements in the West Bank."

"This kind of colonial occupation cannot continue," she added. "As a Jew and a U.S. citizen, I feel obligated to rise up and speak out against stop these crimes being committed in my name and with my tax dollars."
