Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib refused to apologize Wednesday for saying on Tuesday that Israel is to blame for the hospital explosion that day in Gaza, an accusation that sparked political backlash against her from Republicans as Israel denies fault.
Tlaib joined thousands of protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza during a solidarity rally hosted by the left-leaning group Jewish Voice for Peace at the National Mall. She was visibly emotional, at times pausing her speech to openly weep and criticizing lawmakers who have not backed a ceasefire resolution.
“Allow these terrorists to invade and massacre you without reprisal, ignoring the geopolitical realities of not responding” is indeed support of terrorists.
Civilians are tragically caught up on Hamas’s actions as the aggressor. That’s part of why terrorism is so bad.
Friendly reminder that if Hamas did not exist, Palestinians would have their own country for the first time in human history.
Fuck what Hamas did. But that doesn’t give Israel the right to displace everyone in Gaza, drop bombs on them with reckless abandon with no regards to if there are innocent people there, and steal their land. Israel’s response to this is sickening. I don’t support Hamas, but I literally can’t support what Israel has done to, and is actively doing to the Gazan people in the name of fighting terrorism.
Friendly reminder that Netanyahu actively sabotaged any peacetalks by literally supporting Hamas. He gave funds inappropriately to Gaza, purposefully knowing that the funds would reach Hamas. He literally fought against peace talks as he didn’t want a Gazan state.
This is a pretty one-sided and inaccurate description of the Israeli response
I am excited at the idea of this tragedy blowing up in Netanyahu’s face and ending his career. We agree there
You know very well it’s the only army in the world that issues evacuation order to its bombing targets, losing an insane amount of tactical advantage. That’s not what indiscriminate bombing looks like. Check vietnam war footages.
The situation is fucked up from both sides, yes Bibi is a palestinian hating monster. All those things can be true at the same time.
