Alert – Squad member Rashida Tlaib urges Democrat supporters to vote AGAINST ‘war criminal’ Joe Biden in November election amid fury from the left over his Gaza policy

Progressive Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is rallying Michigan Democrats against President Biden in the upcoming election over his Israel policy.

‘You are an enabler, President Biden,’ she told a crowd at the Peoples’ Conference for Palestine. 

‘Each year, our country, and I say our country because it is our country, sends billions of dollars to maintain an apartheid government and support the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians,’ said Tlaib. 

‘It is disgraceful that the Biden administration and my colleagues in Congress continue to smear them for protesting to save lives, no matter faith or ethnicity,’ she said, referring to the pro-Gaza protesters that have popped up at universities and elsewhere throughout the country.’ 

Tlaib was behind a group of Arab activists who convinced Michigan Democrats to vote ‘uncommitted’ in the state’s primary to protest the Biden administration’s handling of the Israel-Palestine war.

Tlaib also tore into Biden for saying Israel is not committing ‘genocide’ as its defense forces push further into the southern city of Rafah. It comes as Hamas fired rockets from Rafah toward Tel Aviv for the first time in four months, signaling the militant group is still capable of threatening Israel. All of the rockets were intercepted by air defenses. 

‘The International Court of Justice just ruled that the Israeli government must stop its invasion of Rafah, but President Biden says what’s happening [in Gaza] is not a genocide,’ the ‘Squad’ member said. ‘Where’s your red line, President Biden?’ 

‘Attacking the authority of the International Criminal Court and interfering in the legal process is nothing more, nothing more than an attempt to prevent the genocidal maniac Netanyahu and his senior Israeli officials from being held accountable for those crimes against humanity.’ 

‘You are an enabler,’ Tlaib said to Biden. ‘But we’re not going to forget in November, are we?’

Tlaib and a handful of her progressive colleagues refused to clap during Biden’s March State of the Union address, instead holding up signs that said ‘stop sending bombs.’  

At least 45 people were killed, including women and children, in an Israeli airstrike on a camp for displaced Palestinians in Rafah over the weekend, the Hamas-run health ministry said. Israel, meanwhile, said it killed two ‘senior Hamas terrorists’ there and is investigating the circumstances of the deaths of civilians in the area.’ 

Benny Gantz, a member of Israel’s war cabinet, said the rockets fired from Rafah proved ‘the IDF must operate in every place Hamas still operates from, and, as such, the IDF will continue to operate wherever necessary.’

Close to 36,000 Palestinians have died in the conflict since October 7, when Hamas killed some 1,160 Israelis and kidnapped over 200. 

Biden has in recent months grown more vocal about Palestinian deaths in the Israel-Gaza conflict but staunchly defended the U.S. ally after  ICC prosecutor Karim Khan last week announced he is seeking arrest warrants for the prime minister and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, in addition to Hamas’ Gaza leader Yahya Sinwar, political chief Ismail Haniyah, and as Mohammed Deif, who is behind its armed wing.

‘We don’t recognize their jurisdiction — the ICC — the way it’s being exercised,’ Biden told reporters last week during a press conference with Kenyan President William Ruto. ‘It’s that simple. We don’t think there’s an equivalence between what Israel did and what Hamas did.’

‘Contrary to allegations against Israel made by the International Court of Justice, what’s happening is not genocide,’ Biden had said earlier. ‘We reject that. And we’ll always stand with Israel and its — in the threats against its security.’

In an olive branch to progressives and Arab-American voters, Biden publicly touted a pause on the shipment of 3,500 bombs to Israel on May 8 in protest of the IDF pushing into Rafah, where some 1.4 million Palestinians took shelter as many of their homes in the northern part of Gaza had been razed. 

But shortly after that the Biden administration announced a $1 billion arms deal with Israel – and the U.S. will continue to supply Israel with weapons even as they push into Rafah. 

That package includes $700m in tank ammunition, $500m in tactical vehicles and $60m in mortar rounds.
