WASHINGTON — Among the crowd of protesters gathered outside an American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference in Washington on March 20th stood a number of Palestinian families. “I don’t want to just say that it’s because we’re Palestinian,” Rowayda Widdi told MintPress News. “We’re really active in these things because we have family back home that’s directly affected by Zionism and colonization by the state of Israel.” Widdi, a Students for Justice in Palestine activist and graduate of the College of Staten Island, traveled to the protest from New York with her two sisters, Gigi and Souphie.
