When it comes to Israel, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) isn’t typically at a loss for words but the “Squad” member’s silence over the savage slaughter of over 600 citizens of the Jewish state by Palestinian terrorists speaks volumes.
As of Sunday morning, the rabidly anti-Israel Palestinian American congresswoman had yet to issue a statement denouncing the barbaric savagery of Hamas as the death toll of those massacred has climbed to over 600 after Islamist killers rained thousands of rockets down on civilian areas and murdering thugs killed people in their own homes on a Jewish holiday, taking women and children as hostages and parading around with corpses in images that shocked the world.
The violence was such an outrage against humanity that even Tlaib’s fellow leftist lawmakers were compelled to speak out with other “Squad” members led by Democratic party thought leader Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) condemning Hamas’ butchery in the “strongest possible terms” but also calling for an “immediate ceasefire and de-escalation” in language that her entire cadre also used to imply that Israel had no right to exact a “mighty vengeance” for the unprovoked atrocities committed on its citizenry.
But Tlaib has seemingly gone underground after earlier this year hosting an event maligning the “catastrophe” of Israel’s founding which she held anyway in defiance of former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy.

Her silence on the liquidation of innocent civilians didn’t go unnoticed and many took to X, formerly Twitter, to accuse her of being “complicit” or giving her “tacit support” to the carnage.
Proud Antisemite and extreme House Democrat @RashidaTlaib has been silent all weekend. When will she denounce Hamas’ violence and unprovoked attack against Israel? https://t.co/V0MnYbQed6

To not speak out against and condemn the horrific attack on Israel @RepRashida is to be complicit with this savagery. https://t.co/SPkAbI89Gf

Keep in mind that @RashidaTlaib has come out within minutes to condemn Israel for incidents where some terrorist tries to storm a checkpoint and gets gunned down.
Her silence now IS tacit support for what Hamas has done.

For those keeping track at home, still no statement from Rashida Tlaib, who agrees with Hamas that Israel shouldn’t exist.
What does she think about an all out attack on Israel? Isn’t this one of her main issues?

Anyone heard from Rashida Tlaib lately?

That’s because she’s just the same old antisemitic Jew-hater such as we saw throughout history. A disgrace to American politics.

It’s notable that Rashida Tlaib has not released a statement regarding the Hamas attack in Israel.

Here is a reminder that Hamas’ favorite congresswoman, Rashida Tlaib, still has not tweeted anything about the horrifying attack on Israelis as of 9:42 a.m. CST on October 8, 2023. That’s because she’s not upset about it.

Rep. Tlaib was at the forefront of the “Squad” boycott Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s recent speech to Congress and her use of the South African term “apartheid” to describe America’s top ally in the volatile Middle East has served to further incite those who want to see the Jewish democracy wiped off the face of the Earth.
