Osama Siblani, the publisher of The Arab American News, said in a “Nakba Day” rally on May 15 in Dearborn, Mich., that despite Israel thinking that its 1948 borders are safe, Palestinians have carried out successful attacks with knives and their bare hands.

According to a report by the Middle East Research Institute (MEMRI), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) attended the rally.

Siblani also said that Arabs would triumph wherever they fought, using stones, guns, planes, drones, rockets, hands and voices.

“We are the Arabs who are going to lift Palestinians all the way to victory, whether we are in Michigan and whether we are in Jenin. Believe me, everyone should fight within his means,” said Siblani.
