The House passed a GOP-led resolution on Tuesday to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib over comments critical of Israel and in support of Palestinians amid Israel’s war against Hamas.
The move amounts to a rare and significant rebuke of the Michigan Democrat, who is the first Palestinian-American woman to serve in Congress. The vote was 234 to 188 with four Republicans voting against and 22 Democrats voting in support of the censure resolution.
The resolution, which was introduced by Georgia GOP Rep. Rich McCormick, advanced earlier in the day after a Democratic-led effort to block the measure failed.
Dude… what you just said really hurt my feelings. Your phrase “let me guess” is used by anti-Palestinians all over the world, and what they really mean is “let me guess, you believe Palestinians are actual humans.”
It’s about time people F off with the antisemtic tripe. She was literally advocating for equality and peace, and here the Israeli lobby wants to censure speech that they are offended by because it calls for equality and peace.
