The US House of Representatives voted, on Tuesday, to censure Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib, based on comments she made about the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

According to the text of the resolution, the Democratic representative of Palestinian origin was convicted of promoting “false narratives” regarding the Hamas attack on Israel, in addition to her call for the destruction of Israel, according to Al Hurra’s correspondent in “Washington.”

According to the same source, 224 members voted to pass this decision in approval, while 188 representatives objected to it.

Twenty-two Democrats joined most Republicans in the chamber to censure Tlaib for allegedly “promoting false narratives” about the armed attack launched by Hamas on October 7 in Israel and “calling for the destruction of the State of Israel.”

Four Republicans voted against the proposal, while three Democrats and one Republican abstained from voting, according to Reuters.

US Representative Rashida Tlaib, the first American woman of Palestinian origin in Congress, accused President Joe Biden of supporting “genocide” of Palestinians, warning of the repercussions of this in next year’s elections.

Tlaib repeatedly denounced the Hamas attack, which led to the death of about 1,400 people, the majority of whom were civilians, but she also criticized American support for Israel, at a time when the Israeli army continues a bombing campaign that has claimed the lives of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza.

The measure specifically cited a video Tlaib posted on social media containing the pro-Palestinian phrase “from the river to the sea,” which many Jews view as anti-Semitic and calling for the elimination of Israel.

Tlaib, according to Reuters, also angered many of her Democratic colleagues on Friday when she posted a video clip in which she accused President Joe Biden of supporting “the genocide of the Palestinian people.”

Israel strongly rejects accusations of genocide.

The Democratic representative rejected accusations of anti-Semitism during a speech she delivered on the floor of the House of Representatives on Tuesday.

“I am the only Palestinian American in Congress, and my viewpoint is needed more than ever,” Tlaib said.

She added, "My criticism has always been directed at the Israeli government and the actions of (Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu... The idea that criticizing the Israeli government is anti-Semitic sets a very dangerous precedent."

She continued by saying, "The Palestinian people cannot be eliminated," before she stopped speaking for a long time while suppressing her feelings, according to what Reuters reported.

Tlaib's grandmother and many of her relatives live in the village of Beit Ur Al-Fawqa in the Ramallah and Al-Bireh Governorate in the West Bank.
