Rashida Tlaib accuses fellow Dems of complicity in genocide, demands Netanyahu’s arrest

May 8, 2024 | | Print Article

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) blew her stack over the beginning of Israel’s long-awaited attack on the Hamas stronghold of Rafah, a critical part of the operation to bust the back of the terror organization

Having kept a relatively low profile since her censure for anti-Semitic remarks last year, the left-wing “Squad” member was back with a vengeance, railing against her fellow lawmakers and demanding that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu be arrested.

On Tuesday, the Michigan Muslim firebomber reacted to beginning the Jewish nation’s ground invasion into the densely populated city in the southern Gaza Strip, accusing House members of being complicit in “genocide” after they voted for the recent foreign aid package for Ukraine and Israel. Tlaib was a no on the controversial package.

“Many of my colleagues are going to express concern and horror at the crimes against humanity that are about to unfold, even though they just voted to send Netanyahu billions more in weapons. Do not be misled, they gave their consent for these atrocities, and our country is actively participating in genocide. For months, Netanyahu made his intent to invade Rafah clear, yet the majority of my colleagues and President Biden sent more weapons to enable the massacre,” Tlaib said in a statement.

And because Democrats now see the arrest of those who oppose them as a legitimate way to resolve political differences, the Hamas sock puppet urged the International Criminal Court (ICC) to hurry up and issue warrants for the duly elected Israeli leader and other members of the Jewish democracy’s government.

“I urge the ICC to swiftly issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and senior Israeli officials to finally hold them accountable for this genocide, as is obviously warranted by these well-documented violations of the Genocide Convention under international law,” the Jew-hating congressman demanded.

The ICC, a global body that special counsel Jack Smith once worked at, is reportedly preparing to pull the trigger on the arrest warrant for Netanyahu, a move that leftists are clamoring for.

Tlaib’s urging of the dramatic move, which would put President Joe Biden in a tough spot, drew a harsh response from X users who didn’t take kindly to the Palestinian congresswoman’s words.

“Target Israel and we will target you,” a dozen Republican senators said in a letter to ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan. “You have been warned.”

“Netanyahu knows that he will only stay in power as long as the fighting continues. It is now more apparent than ever that we must end all U.S. military funding for the Israeli apartheid regime, and demand that President Biden facilitate an immediate, permanent ceasefire that includes a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and the release of all hostages and arbitrarily detained Palestinians,” Tlaib said in her statement.
