Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) accused President Joe Biden of "cheering on" Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel's war against Hamas terrorists, which she claims is an "ethnic cleansing."
Tlaib made the comments going after the leader of her party shortly after the House of Representatives voted in favor of a $14.3 billion aid package for the Jewish state in its fight against Hamas. In a lengthy statement issued on Thursday, the Michigan Democrat made various claims, including that Israel is committing "war crimes."
“The American people do not support funding for war crimes — like the use of white phosphorus bombs — and are calling for a ceasefire. As the Israeli government carries out ethnic cleansing in Gaza, President Biden is cheering on Netanyahu, whose own citizens are protesting his refusal to support a ceasefire. We must be laser focused on saving lives, no matter their faith or ethnicity," Tlaib said.
