Squad members shredded by own Party Dem for ‘reprehensible and repulsive’ take on massacre
October 9, 2023 | Frieda Powers
U.S. Reps. Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib were called on the carpet by a fellow Democrat for their “reprehensible and repulsive” characterization of the deadly attacks against Israel.
Tlaib and Bush as well as other members of the so-called “Squad” in Congress have come under fire for their comments following the Hamas offensive against Israel on Saturday, launching the deadly terror attack on a Jewish holiday and, notably, a day after the anniversary of the Yom Kippur war. Rep. Ritchie Torres called his colleagues out for their antisemitism in a blistering statement on Sunday.
While Tlaib was noticeably mum in the immediate aftermath of the attack, leading some to accuse her of giving her “tacit support” to the terrorists, the far-left congresswoman eventually came out with her own response essentially blaming Israel, which she referred to Israel as an “apartheid government” for their own demise.
Tlaib, the only Palestinian-American member of Congress, was joined in her vitriol by Bush who echoed her demands that the U.S. cease its “unconditional funding” of Israel, a key ally in the volatile Middle East.
“I grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today, and every day. I am determined as ever to fight for a just future where everyone can live in peace, without fear and with true freedom, equal rights, and human dignity,” Tlaib said in a statement on Instagram.“The path to that 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.”
