TLAIB, BUSH CRITICIZED BY DEMOCRATS OVER STATEMENTS CALLING FOR END TO ISRAEL

Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Cori Bush (D-Mo.) are facing criticism from
fellow Democrats over weekend statements in which they each labeled Israel as an
apartheid state and called for the U.S. to end funding to the nation, amid a
surprise attack by Hamas that killed hundreds. 

Tlaib said she continues to “grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost
yesterday, today, and every day,” before calling for “dismantling the apartheid
system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to
resistance.” She has previously criticized the Israeli government and
had denounced a House resolution supporting Israel in a floor speech in July.



Tlaib, who is of Palestinian heritage, also called for lifting the blockade of
the Gaza Strip and for “ending the occupation” in her lengthy statement. 

“The failure to recognize the violent reality of living under siege, occupation,
and apartheid makes no one safer. No person, no child anywhere should have to
suffer or live in fear of violence. We cannot ignore the humanity in each
other,” she said. 

“As long as our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support
the apartheid government, this heartbreaking cycle of violence will continue,”
she continued.

Bush also issued similar comments in a statement Saturday, in which she
condemned the targeting of civilians and said she was “heartbroken” by the
violence. She also called for the end of U.S. support for Israel.

“As part of achieving a just and lasting peace, we must do our part to stop this
violence and trauma by ending U.S. government support for Israeli military
occupation and apartheid,” she said.

Tlaib’s and Bush’s remarks were quickly met with pushback from both the right
and the left, including two Democrat lawmakers. In comments to Jewish Insider,
Reps. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) and Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) condemned the
lawmakers’ statements. 



“U.S. aid to Israel is and should be unconditional, and never more so than in
this moment of critical need,” Torres said in a statement to Jewish Insider.
“Shame on anyone who glorifies as ‘resistance’ the largest single-day mass
murder of Jews since the Holocaust. It is reprehensible and repulsive.”

“Two of my colleagues called for America to end assistance to Israel, despite
the countless images of Israeli children, women, men, and elderly, including
Americans, murdered by radical Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists,” Gottheimer said
in a statement obtained by The Hill. “It sickens me that while Israelis clean
the blood of their family members shot in their homes, they believe Congress
should strip U.S. funding to our democratic ally and allow innocent civilians to
suffer.”

The ambassador of Israel to the U.S. also took aim at Tlaib’s statement.



“How much more blood needs to be spilled for you to overcome your prejudice and
unequivocally condemn Hamas, a U.S.-designated terror organization?” Michael
Herzog said in response to Tlaib’s statement on X, the platform previously known
as Twitter.

“Hundreds of innocent Israeli civilians massacred in cold blood on a holy day.
Babies kidnapped from their mother’s arms and taken to Gaza. An 85-year-old
woman in a wheelchair and a Holocaust survivor taken hostage. Is that not
enough, @RashidaTlaib?” he continued.

The Hill has reached out to the offices of Tlaib, Bush and Torres for comment.
