Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is bringing on a censure resolution against Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), accusing her of engaging in antisemitic activity, expressing sympathy for terrorists, and leading an “insurrection” at the U.S. Capitol last week.
Ms. Greene announced the censure resolution on Tuesday morning. Reps. John Carter (R-Texas), Mike Collins (R-Ga.), Mary Miller (R-Ill.), and Randy Weber (R-Texas) co-sponsored the resolution.
The measure specifically faults Ms. Tlaib, a Palestinian-American, for a variety of past comments she’s made about the Israel-Palestinian situation and for joining a group of protesters at the Capitol on Oct. 18.
In one instance, the resolution notes a 2020 post on the X social media platform in which Ms. Tlaib wrote “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” The censure resolution states this phrase was originated by the Palestinian Liberation Organization, has been adopted by Hamas, and “calls for the elimination of Israel and the death of all Jews.”
The U.S. and Israeli governments have both designated Hamas as a foreign terrorist organization. The Israeli military is currently engaged in a campaign targeting Hamas after members of the Palestinian faction breached the Israel-Gaza barrier on Oct. 7 and proceeded to kill hundreds of civilians and take around 200 people back to Gaza as hostages.
The censure resolution further faults Ms. Tlaib for one of her early responses to the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks.
“Instead of denouncing the horrors of Hamas slaughtering Israelis and demanding the release of all hostages held by Hamas, Rashida Tlaib stated on Oct. 8, 2023, ‘The path to the future must include lifting the blockade, ending the occupation, and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance.'”
The resolution also accuses Ms. Tlaib of exhibiting hatred for America by sharing a social media post on Oct. 12 that blames America for allowing the deaths of Palestinian babies at the hands of Israel. The Israeli military has been carrying out retaliatory airstrikes and limited ground raids on Gaza in the days since the Oct. 7 attack. The ongoing Israeli military operations raise the risk of civilians in Gaza becoming caught in the crossfire.
Various reports have alleged hundreds and even thousands of civilian deaths in Gaza could be attributed to Israeli strikes, though the exact numbers cannot be confirmed at this time. In an Oct. 20 report, the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) estimated more than 1,500 children have been killed in the Gaza Strip in the ongoing fighting days since Oct. 7.
Ms. Tlaib is among a group of House Democrats who have called for an immediate ceasefire in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, citing concerns about civilian casualties in the conflict.
Tlaib Accused of Leading Insurrection
In addition to accusing her of engaging in antisemitic activity and sympathizing with terrorists, Ms. Greene claimed Ms. Tlaib’s involvement in an Oct. 18 protest event amounted to a leadership role in an insurrection.
The protesters entered the Cannon House office building on the afternoon of Oct. 18 and began chants in support of a ceasefire. Capitol Police began arresting and expelling some of the protesters after warning that they were not allowed to lead protests inside Congressional buildings.
The protest group was organized with the help of Jewish Voice for Peace, an organization that describes itself as a “progressive Jewish anti-Zionist organization” that shares “solidarity with the Palestinian freedom struggle.”
Ms. Tlaib was photographed while addressing a crowd of protesters outside the congressional building that day before they went into the building.
“Rashida Tlaib led an insurrection at the United States Capitol Complex on October 18, 2023, which put Members of Congress, their staffs, and Capitol visitors in danger by shutting down elevators, stairwells, and points of egress, while obstructing official business in both the House of Representatives and the Senate, including a Senate Foreign Affairs Committee hearing,” Ms. Greene’s censure resolution reads.
The censure resolution also notes the Anti-Defamation League has referred to Jewish Voice for Peace as ‘‘a radical anti-Israel activist group that advocates for a complete economic, cultural, and academic boycott of the state of Israel,” and that believes that the decades of conflict between the Israeli and Palestinian people is caused by Israeli policies based in “Jewish racial chauvinism and religious supremacism.’’
The censure resolution alleges at least one group message shared among the Oct. 18 protesters called for a “Global Intifada,” which the resolution states is the Arabic word for ‘‘rebellion’’ or ‘‘struggle.’’
“This type of Israel-hating, America-hating behavior from a sitting Member of Congress is unacceptable, and she does not represent anything America stands for,” Ms. Greene said in a Tuesday press release.
NTD News reached out to Ms. Tlaib’s office for comment, but did not receive a response by the time of this writing.
In 2021, the then-Democratic House majority passed a resolution to remove Ms. Greene from her congressional committee assignments over comments and social media posts she made before entering Congress. In one of the instances, Ms. Greene reportedly liked a Facebook post that referred to “a bullet to the head” of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)
In 2021, Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) also raised the possibility of introducing a censure of Ms. Greene after she compared mask mandates to Jews being forced to wear gold stars in Nazi Germany. Mr. Schneider backed away from the centrist resolution after Ms. Greene apologized for the comparison.

Hamas and terrorists like Talib are as Semite in race, but not religion as Israelites. They Hamas, are indeed antisemite in both the hatred of themselves as well as their hatred of the Jews. The difference is in their religious beliefs. The Israelis are a sound religion who of necessity for survival formed as a political entity, while Hamas and the Muslim terrorists are a purposely formed political government entity, disguised as a valid religion. The proof of the validity of any religion is in its ability to protect and improve the lives of its people. Nazi run Germany and its anti-Christian leaders were crushed in the 1940s but today their people thrive having reembraced the successfulness of Judeo Christian values of hard work and sacrifice of themselves for their children. The Palestinians on the other hand still cling to the misguided Jihad beliefs of sacrificing your children on the same failed alter of death and destruction that the Hitler loving Grand Mufti of 1949 Jerusalem embraced whose people have just died on that vine now for decades, whose leaders continue to feed off and devour them just like so many well sugared falafels. Tlaib is just the Americanized version of the same madness and inhumanity offered by misguided Muslims in the middle east. None should be allowed inside the House of Representatives where their American hatred is only what they represent.
most israelis are ATHEIST
stevor: Your comment reads like you belong to Hamas or you’re a liar Democrat.
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend” is an ancient proverb which suggests that two parties can or should work together against a common enemy….”ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES.
AUTHOR UNKNOWN.
The democrat, Socialist,Communist Party- Can tell ( The Squad, ), Why Settle For being a ding- dong -When with just a little more effort, you – THEY- Could be REAL -ASK- Wholes..to paraphrase this quote.Author unknown.
As former democrat President, Barack H. Obama, Pastor, The Reverent Wright where Barack H. Obama went ,”No, No, Not God Bless America, but God Damm America…” The Chickens Have Come Home To Roost…” And so the ( THe SQUAD, ) has come HOME TO ROOST.
I still have no idea, how that schmuck became, let alone KEPT on being a PASTOR..
Former democrat President, Theodore Roosevelt, once gave a speech before The Knights Of Columbus in 1915 in which he warned Americans about immigrants coming to America, The Title of this Speech he gave way back in 1915, ” THERES NO ROOM IN THIS COUNTRY FOR HYPHENATED AMERICANS. “Theodore Roosevelt knew that immigrant division would be the ruin of this Nation as a Nation. Roosevelt cautioned America about a flood of immigrants ccoming across Americas borders when he said,” . ..The Absolutely Certain Way Of Bringing This Nation To Ruin, Of Preventing All Possibility Of Its Continuing To Be A Nation At All Would Be To Permit It To Become ATangle Of Squabbling Nationalities… ”
This is exactly what has now happened to this Country with Americas Open Borders And allowing a flood of illegal immigrants to cross Americas Open Borders. Of Course American University Progressive,/ Communist, Professors haven’t Helped the major problem of immigrants coming to this Country.
Look all over the world. ITS NOT JUST Us suffering from this..
“None should be allowed inside the House of Representatives where their American hatred is only what they represent.“
This is true with so many Democrats in congress “their American hatred is only what they represent”.
Shouldn’t is the Operative word…
AAs Far as I’m Concerned, The Squad, democrat Socialist, Party can Kiss my HAMAS.!
Trojan horses invited into our government and country, and we still wonder why we are so divided. So much for our unifying politicians and msm. IMO
And note, STILL there’s been no Condemnation of her words/deeds from the ‘supposed Unifier in chief” biden.

Tlaib Accused of Leading Insurrection”
Lock her up!
“…Accused of leading insurrection,”you posted, The (Squad,members of the democrat party, have taken part in Muslim/ Hamas, University protests blaming Israel for Muslim murders.
She’s speaking on atrocities both sides participating in. I’m not for Hamas attack. No, not one bit. Other ways to keep plugging away at their position within the Israeli-Palestinian argument. What she’s saying is or the underlying principle to her argument is Israel being a little rough with the civilian population.
Tlaib is just the loudest foul mouthpiece for many in the Dem Party who would rather sacrifice tiny Israel & Jews everywhere than stand against worldwide Islam terror, brutal oppression & sadistic tyranny.
She needs to be prosecuted for sedition & the entire Western world needs to withdraw from the UN until that body confronts the fact that a thousand year history proves that Islam cannot be trusted, compatible or peaceful with the non Islam world & Western forces must unite to protect & defend Israel & ourselves from both the Islam terrorists & the Islam “civilians” who allow them to exist.
I don’t believe their are millions of innocent Palestinian civilians, other than very young children being groomed to be future terrorists. They are instead the not so innocent mothers, fathers, wives, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins supporting Hamas butchers.
So far not one interview of any Gaza Palestinians who publicly condemns or damns Hamas for causing the hell they are now suffering & IMO so richly deserve for their Islamic beliefs to both cause & suffer misery & death rather than allow Jews & Christians or any non Islam people to live equally & peacefully in their midst.
Should is the operative word. EVEN IF the dept of just us, wasn’t in the bag for the DNC< i just don't see those charges even getting filed, LET ALONE her being arrested…
She is dangerous and a pathetic antisemite. Censure her. Fire her. The democrats need to seriously address this. She has made Michigan look bad. Shame on her district for supporting her.
“Ms. Tlaib is among a group of House Democrats who have called for an immediate ceasefire in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, citing concerns about civilian casualties in the conflict.”
I am every bit as concerned about Arab casualties as Hamas is about Jewish casualties.
Rashida Tlaib should be thrown out of office for violating her oath. When she became a member of the House she pledged, “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same”. Supporting terrorists who chant death to America is a clear violation of that oath.
There are more sitting in the House and Senate that are violating their Oaths of OFFICE DAILY. And our borders remain open to ALL. You think you and your family are SAFE , you would be FOOLS.
IF we threw out all those violating their oaths, 99% of the DNC would be gone, and i recon around 60% of the so-called GOP would also be gone.
Maybe that would be a good thing though.
Put this idiot in jail for being a colossal DB and even bigger colostomy bag. Man does she stink.
No point in killing innocent civilians. How will that serve anyone. Doesn’t matter who, military should battle military. Not innocent civilians.
AND with hamas, HOW CAN WE TELL who is military and who isn’t, WHEN THEY DO **** like HIDE THEIR armories under schools, or fire out of mosques, or build a HQ UNDER A DAMN HOSPITAL???
Since when has Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Isis, Al Quaeda or any other pop-up Islamic terrorist group been recognized as a formal military force operating under the direction & responsibility of any UN recognized Mid East nation re: Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iran or even the Palestine State / PLO?
Islamic terrorist sympathizers learned from WW2 that designated military forces of nations, aka Nazi Germany, Italy & Japan, would be at risk of being defeated & their countries occupied & civilians governed by victorious nations until certain governing conditions were met. Germany was not totally independent of US / Russia until 1991.
Only reason Israel “occupies” Gaza / West Bank is because Islamic terrorists, who don’t follow any rules of war, & are supported by their not so innocent civilians keep trying to slaughter them.
So until UN & world govts require Islamic terrorist groups adhere to rules of war then they should quit lecturing Israel about welfare of Palestine civilians who hand out candy when Jew civilians are massacred & encourage their kids to seek out & kill Jews.
Add to that, HOW LONG as the useless UN???
“Auntie Semite” Tlaib and her dear friend Ilhan Omar need to be booted out of Congress! And all of the pro-Iran chumps working in the Biden administration need to be shown the door too. Don’t need traitors in government, especially in wartime.
Thurs 10/26/23:
Support & activism for any Islam terrorism, Palestinian or otherwise, cannot be tolerated in USA.
Colleges who kicked out without tuition refund & banned students for not getting covid shot or wearing masks must now be required to do same to any students rabble rousing in support of Palestine which is de facto supporting the Islam wet dream to commit genocide of Jews & commit acts of war against any nation who defends Israel, aka USA.
So, in effect, people in USA supporting the Islam Palestine war & terrorist atrocities against Israel & their civilians is also supporting Islam war & terrorist actions against USA & our civilians, which is clearly sedition, if not outright treason.
Colleges must be required to ban faculty / students who support any form of Islam terrorism / acts of war against US ally Israel & is therefore the support of terrorism & acts of war against USA.
Biden admin must be required to identify, track down & prosecute the Palestine / Islam terrorist supporters in US as insurrectionists & seditionists against the US govt & it’s citizens.
It’s a known fact that Palestine is an illegitimate proxy state populated by Islam terrorists & their “civilian” supporters ruled over by Iran & any support of Iran proxy Palestine by people in US is treasonous support of “death to America” Iran
Must be and should, are the operative words. IF THEY HAD A SPINE to do this, that is. Unfortunately, i fear many of these libtard cesspools, DON’T have that spine.
