رام الله: رفضت الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية، طلب عضو اللجنة التنفيذية بمنظمة التحرير الفلسطينية، الدكتورة حنان عشراوي، لدخول أراضيها.

وقالت عشراوي في تغريدة لها عبر "توتير": تم رفض طلبي للحصول على تأشيرة دخول إلى الولايات المتحدة،  لا يوجد سبب معين، أنا أبلغ من العمر أكثر من 70 عامًا وجدة إيضا ؛ وناشطة فلسطينية منذ أواخر الستينيات ودائما مؤيدة  للمقاومة السلمية".

1/It is official! My US visa application has been rejected. No reason given. Choose any of the following: I’m over 70 & a grandmother; I’ve been an activist for Palestine since the late 1960’s; I’ve always been an ardent supporter of nonviolent resistance;

2/I’ve always struggled for human rights and against corruption; I’m basically an academic although I was elected to the PLC & PNC & the PLO Executive Committee; I studied for my Ph.D. in the US; I’ve been a frequent visitor there since then;

3/I’ve met (& even negotiated with) every Sec. of State since Shultz, & every President since George H. W. Bush (present administration excluded); I’ve been a vocal critic of this administration & its underlings; I believe in freedom of speech; I’ve always been searingly honest;

4/I despise hypocrisy, misogyny, absolutist fundamentalism, populism, racism of all kinds, exclusivity, arrogance & condescension, power politics & militarism, cruelty in any form, & any sense of entitlement & exceptionalism;

5/Most of all, I have no tolerance for the Israeli occupation in all its manifestations as a most pervasive form of oppression, dispossession & denial; I have no respect for the enablers of this inhuman condition nor for its apologists;

6/I have a tremendous sense of love & protectiveness for the people of Palestine wherever they may be & am constantly humbled by their resilience & persistence in spite of all their pain; I also identify & stand in solidarity with all those who are suffering any injustice.

7/I’m guilty of all of the above, & as such this administration has decided I do not deserve to set foot in the US. I just hope someone can explain this to my grandchildren & all the rest of my family there.
