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.
There’s no reason to apologize, if Isreal is so adamant to prove it’s innocence let an international investigation open. But they won’t because like for the killing of the journalist Shereen AbuAkleh they are guilty.
Then why lie to strengthen your cause if it is already justifiable without the facts being known?
The ones that have a long track records of lies and deceit are Israeli and US government. History is the witness. I don’t need to strengthen the case I want the end of civilians murder, humanitarian aids and international investigation on war crimes such as this.
Oh, because Hamas never lies or murders civilians!
=/
Hamas is a terrorist organization born from Israeli apartheid and genocide.
Is there a reason you choose to believe their story about the hospital explosion? Have they presented any evidence at all?
I take no stance on the hospital bombing, from what I’ve seen it seems like it was a group called Islamic Jihad
Ah, I thought I was still replying to the OP of this thread. It probably was PIJ, but the only party that originally asserted it was Israel was Hamas, so people piggybacking off Hamas’s story and running with it rather than looking at any of the evidence is a real problem.
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.
Israel has shared a whole lot of its intelligence publicly. The explosion occurred in Gaza, wouldn’t it be on Hamas to allow an investigation?
