Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., said that Israel is to blame for the hospital explosion in Gaza despite Israel denying fault.

Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib refused to apologize Wednesday for saying on Tuesday that Israel is to blame for the hospital explosion that day in Gaza, an accusation that sparked political backlash against her from Republicans as Israel denies fault.

Tlaib joined thousands of protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza during a solidarity rally hosted by the left-leaning group Jewish Voice for Peace at the National Mall. She was visibly emotional, at times pausing her speech to openly weep and criticizing lawmakers who have not backed a ceasefire resolution.

        I take no stance on the hospital bombing, from what I’ve seen it seems like it was a group called Islamic Jihad

            I think people are just fearing the worst of the Israeli retaliation, honestly its not outlandish to me for Israel to bomb a hospital so I can see why people jumped to conclusions.

                Damn I wonder why people would be biased against an apartheid state participating in ethnic cleansing aka genocide.

                Also i never said anything about any of those specific incidents you are referring to.

                    You keep putting words in my mouth, all ive ever said is that Israel is an apartheid state, and that Israel is commiting genocide. I never said shit about supporting hamas or whatever other bullshit you’re saying. Israel is an apartheid state, apartheid is never justified, apartheid states reap what they sow.
