Marjorie Taylor Greene Moves to Censure Rashida Tlaib Over Alleged Anti-Semitic Actions

Marjorie Taylor Greene files a censure motion against Rashida Tlaib, alleging anti-Semitic activities and alignment with terrorist groups.

October 26, (EUROPA PRESS) - Republican representative for Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Greene, has taken steps to formally censure Michigan's Democratic Congresswoman, Rashida Tlaib. Greene alleges that Tlaib has engaged in "anti-Semitic activities" and has "shown sympathy for terrorist organizations."

Greene has drafted what is termed a privileged resolution, requiring the House of Representatives to vote on whether to accept or reject her censure proposal within two days. This is according to a report from news outlet The Hill.

In the three-page resolution, Greene highlights previous statements made by Tlaib—who is the first woman of Palestinian descent to serve in the U.S. Congress—concerning Israel, Palestine, and the Jewish community. This includes remarks made following the October 7th Hamas attack.

Among Greene's more controversial claims is that Tlaib "led an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol Complex." This refers to a recent protest at a Congressional building where attendees demanded a ceasefire in the Middle East.

Sources close to Tlaib have stated that the Democratic Congresswoman did not attend that particular protest, although she did participate in another rally calling for an end to hostilities between the Israel Defense Forces and Palestinian militia.

The day after the Hamas attack, Tlaib released a statement on her website advocating for "lifting the blockade, ending the occupation, and dismantling the 'apartheid' system." According to Tlaib, these conditions could "lead to resistance," a stance that has drawn criticism even from within her own party.

Her statements have also come under scrutiny from Israel's Ambassador to Washington, Michel Herzog, who questioned how much more blood needs to be spilled before Tlaib condemns Hamas' actions.

Greene argues that Tlaib should have "condemned the atrocities of Hamas killing Israelis" instead of making such comments. In response, Tlaib has labeled Greene's motion as "a deranged resolution" and "deeply Islamophobic."

In conclusion, Tlaib stated, "I am proud to stand in solidarity with Jewish peace advocates calling for a ceasefire and an end to violence. I will not be intimidated, dehumanized, or silenced."
