On Wednesday afternoon, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared before a joint session of Congress for the fourth time. Although many members of the Squad and other Democrats boycotted, including Vice President Kamala Harris, there were still many Democrats in attendance, including Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).
Netanyahu became particularly fired up as he addressed the pro-Hamas protesters who have bought into such propaganda from terrorists who attacked our ally in the Middle East on October 7. While the speech was met with thundering applause and standing ovations, especially at this point, Tlaib wasn't having it.
Not only did the congresswoman remain seated throughout the speech, she also held up a sign that said "WAR CRIMINAL." The other side of her sign read "GUILTY OF GENOCIDE."
As Netanyahu called out the International Criminal Court (ICC) for falsely accusing Israel of starving Gazans, Tlaib raised her sign, now flipped to the other side, and nodded her head.
