Me: "You accept that you [Israel] have killed children [in Gaza]? Or do you deny that?"
Netanyahu adviser Mark Regev: "No, I do not. First of all, you don't know how those people died, those children."
Me: "Oh wow."
This woman pours her soul and her grief out on TV, saying 30 family members have been killed by Israel, including a 2 year-old. The anchor responds that the IDF says their strikes are targeted, why was your family targeted? Unforgivable lack of humanity.
As a Black woman in America, I’m acutely aware of feeling unsafe in this country. I denounce every instance of antisemitism and Islamophobia, and every form of racism and bigotry. Always.
Democrats were happy to have a Palestinian woman in congress until they found out she was the "Palestinians are human beings" kind of Palestinian and not just the "Look how diverse and inclusive Democrats are" kind.
I couldn’t be more proud to stand with my colleagues calling for a ceasefire.
Hostages need to be returned safely and Palestinians deserve to live free from fear and bombardment. Most of all, they deserve for us to recognize their humanity.
500 Jews and allies took over the Statue of Liberty in a sit-in to demand @POTUS call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
After shutting down Grand Central Station, we took over the Statue of Liberty — because we won't be silent while the Israeli military wages a genocidal war in our name!
Shame on every Member who voted to censure @RepRashida.
10,000 Palestinians have been killed, including 4,000 children, & your focus is on trying to silence the only Palestinian-American in Congress.
History will prove you were wrong.
It is not lost on anyone how many offensive, violent, and racist things people regularly hear members of Congress say, yet virtually the only one that gets censured for her political speech also happens to be the only Palestinian American.
It does not reflect well. At all.
A reminder, since so many Republicans want to talk about antisemitism suddenly: a year ago this month their presidential frontrunner hosted a literal Holocaust denier for dinner. None of his rivals condemned him. That Holocaust denier also hosted 2 GOP house members at his event.
People saying that Rashida Tlaib is calling for genocide aren’t just incorrect; they’re putting Jews at risk by suggesting that all Jews support depriving Palestinians of their land and freedom. That’s israel. Not Jews.
Gaza:
More kids killed than the annual number of kids killed across all conflict zones since 2019 (Save the Children)
More UN workers killed than in any comparable period in the UN’s history (UN)
More journalists killed than in any conflict period since 1992 (CPJ)
Our pro-peace, pro-humanity movement is working.
Our calls for a #CeasefireNow grow stronger & louder every day.
@POTUS must heed our calls & facilitate a ceasefire that saves lives, allows for the safe release of hostages & ensures accountability for human rights violations.
1. If Israel needs to see rallies in order to try and get out the hostages, that's just another reason to protest Israel.
2. What would rallying in the streets to 'get Hamas' accomplish when Israel, backed by the west, has already murdered 9000+ civilians in a month in Gaza.
We introduced our #CeasefireNow Resolution on Oct 16.
Since then, the Israeli military has killed thousands of civilians, including over 4,000 children, with U.S. support.
How many will die before more of our colleagues join our call for @POTUS to facilitate a ceasefire?
NEWS: 71% of Michigan Democrats support a ceasefire according to a poll by Biden’s former pollster.
I urge my colleagues to support our #CeasefireNOW resolution to save as many lives as possible, no matter their faith or ethnicity.
