Deep dives
Rashida Tlaib censured in Congress over Israel-Hamas War remarks
The House voted 234 to 188 to censure Representative Rashida Tlaib for her rhetoric about the Israel-Hamas War. The censure, the most severe condemnation a representative can receive, accused Tlaib of promoting false narratives surrounding Hamas' attack on Israel and using the phrase 'from the river to the sea,' which is regarded as a call for the eradication of Israel as a Jewish state. Critics argue the slogan is an open call for the abolition of Israel and potentially the genocide or forced displacement of Israelis and Jews. Despite the censure, many Democrats criticized the action, suggesting that Tlaib was being targeted for being Muslim and Palestinian.
