Rashida Tlaib co-sponsored a resolution that calls for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war, which the ad argues “would allow the terrorists to rearm themselves.”
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in Congress, has come under fire since the war started on Oct. 7 from some in her party over what her critics saw as insufficient condemning of Hamas' attacks on civilians.
“The people in the Detroit area deserve to know the facts about her positions,” DMFI President Mark Mellman said in a statement. “Our ad clearly shows her wanton disregard for the safety of the citizens of one of the United States’ closest allies, Israel.” When reached for comment in response to the ad, a spokesperson for Tlaib pointed POLITICO to past statements the congresswoman has made on the Israel-Hamas war. Last week,“achieving a just and lasting peace where Israelis and Palestinians have equal rights and freedoms, and where no person lives in fear for their safety, requires ending the blockade, occupation, and dehumanizing system of apartheid.”.
