A defiant Rep. Rashida Tlaib said on the House floor that she will not be 'silenced' after a resolution to censure her advanced.
Tlaib, D-Mich., noted that she is the only Palestinian-American in Congress. 'My perspective is needed here now more than ever. I will not be silenced and I will not let you distort my words,' she said in a passionate speech.
'There are millions of people across our country who do not support Netanyahu's extremism and are sick of watching our country support collective punishment,' she went on.

Hamas does treat them as human. They are to be used to further their agenda which is destroy Israel and all Jews. And if they need to kill a few of their own along the way then so be it.

“From the river to the sea!” Is a call for genocide.

She’s akin to having a Nazi party member in Congress during WWII.

Ask her who started this war. It was not Israel.

The depraved Hamas terrorists proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were not human, and the Palestinian people voted for them and cheered their every barbaric action.

Human beings don't dance in the streets at the news of women being raped and killed, children being shot decapitated and burned, unarmed civilians being shot by military. Tlaib, you support Hamas, you support what they did. You are complicit in their behavior. There are no innocent Palestinians. They voted Hamas in power. It's their government.

Interesting claim.....against the moral evidence that they do NOT at all act like human beings.
And, as #1 points out -- they absolutely deny the humanity of Israelis.
My view is still, kill all of Hamas. 100% no quarter, no breaks, just destruction, unending.

"Human beings"? Try "seventh-century savages," Rashita.

Tlaib is not the only Palestinian-American in Congress. She is the only Palestinian in Congress. She has promoted nothing helpful to America. And her passion does not somehow negate the Hamas-PLO-Hezbollah vow to annihilate Israel and America. Tlaib, together with the whole America-hating "squad", should leave for some country they don't hate so much.

The monsters that murdered innocents on October 7th aren’t human, Tlaib.

And Hamas killing babies is not extremist? Go back to whatever rock from under you came Talib. You don't understand what our country is about. Islam is your frame of reference and you can't see past that.

She and her followers support genocide and war crimes. It is NOT extremism to counterattack - note that the Israeli soldiers did not perform war crimes as did the HAMAS barbarians. Israel needs to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again. Rep Tlaib should be CONDEMNED.,

SO tell us Rashida, why did the Palestinians VOTE for Hamas to run the Gaza?
They are either insane or they agree with Hamas. Answer us that!

Lady, you are one screwed up kool aid drinker.
If this country is so unjust, why are you still here?
Go back home and become a terrorist. You can argue with the IDF.

An inconvenient truth, most Palestinians are Hamas or Hamas supporters. That is why they celebrate the atrocities that Hamas inflicts on Israel.
