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.
You think if Hamas violated a ceasefire agreement that people’s judgment of them wouldn’t change? At all?
Trolling
Hamas has violated multiple ceasefires and is very specifically the reason a two-state solution isn’t already implemented.
Look around and tell me if everyone is anti-Hamas.
I don’t think you’re completely right here. The two-state solution isn’t very popular with regular Palestinians either. A two-state solution cements Israel as ethno-state and doesn’t address all the Palestinians already deported.
Also Israeli settlers keep violently stealing people’s houses, which I would also consider breaking the ceasefire.
Palestinians have near-zero bargaining chips and caring too much about the makeup of another country is a poor use of what little leverage they have.
Agreed regarding settlements on the West Bank not helping, but it’s hardly the breaking of a ceasefire. Notable also that outright giving this land to Palestine has been included in every peace deal since the 80s
I’m curious, what makes you consider Israel an ethno-state?
