Massachusetts State Representative Jamie Zahlaway Belsito strongly slammed Israel's policies against Palestinians, saying it is on a "mission to kill Palestinians," and steal their lands.

The politician, representing the 4th Essex district in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, took it to her official Twitter page to say that Israel "is an apartheid run thuggery terrorist regime," while calling on the US to acknowledge that.

"The US must acknowledge that the Israel administration is an apartheid run thuggery terrorist regime on a mission to kill Palestinians," she said.

"Killing and land taking has nothing to do with anti-semitism. It is genocide", the tweet read.
