Rep. Rashida Tlaib on Friday rejected Israel’s offer to allow her to visit her grandmother in the West Bank, calling the “oppressive conditions” set for her trip humiliating.

“Silencing me & treating me like a criminal is not what she wants for me. It would kill a piece of me,” the freshman Democrat from Michigan said in a tweet hours after Israel granted her request on humanitarian grounds.

“I have decided that visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in–fighting against racism, oppression & injustice,” she added.

Tlaib said her election to Congress “gave the Palestinian people hope that someone will finally speak the truth about the inhumane conditions.”

“I can’t allow the State of Israel to take away that light by humiliating me & use my love for my sity [Arabic for ‘grandmother’] to bow down to their oppressive & racist policies,” she said.

On Thursday, Israel announced that it would bar Tlaib and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from visiting Israel because of their support of a Palestinian-led boycott movement against the country.

In a letter to the Israeli interior minister requesting permission to visit her grandmother in Beit Ur al-Fouqa, Tlaib said she would “respect any restrictions” and “not promote boycotts against Israel during my visit.”
