Tuesday 8-January-2019

Rashida Tlaib the first Palestinian congresswoman made a change to the map of her congressional office in Washington DC replacing Israel with Palestine.

After Tlaib a Democrat from Michigan swore in front of Congress last Thursday a BuzzFeedreporter who was touring the congresswoman’s new office noticed a “slight change” on the map hung on the wall.

One of the pictures posted by the reporter on Twitter revealed that someone perhaps not Tlaib herself placed a sticker with the word Palestine on it near the location of Israel on the map and accompanied it by an arrow directed to the occupation state’s spot.

In a tweet Tlaib said she used for the ceremonial swear in her own personal Quran that her best friend of 25 years gifted her.
