Arrr, Rep. Rashida Tlaib be scurvy dogged by reporters, aye, on a fine Wednesday! They be askin' if she be plannin' to delete her words o' accusin' Israel o' bombardin' a hospital in Gaza. But she be evadin' 'em all, like a sly pirate avoidin' a mutiny!
Representative Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat from Michigan, refused to answer questions about her social media post accusing Israel of bombing a hospital in Gaza. Two reporters, Max Cohen from Punchbowl News and John McCormack from National Review, both tried to get a response from Tlaib but were unsuccessful. President Biden and National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson have both stated that Israel was not responsible for the explosion, citing evidence from the Defense Department. Tlaib's office did not respond to requests for comment. In her social media post, Tlaib claimed that Israel had bombed the Baptist Hospital, killing 500 Palestinians. Fellow Squad Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar also accused Israel of bombing a hospital but later tried to walk back her comments. Tlaib repeated the accusation at the Capitol, expressing her pain and calling for a ceasefire. She also accused the Biden administration of funding "genocide." It is important to note that both Tlaib and Omar's claims have been refuted by the IDF and US intelligence assessments. The media has been accused of parroting Hamas' talking points on the Gaza hospital blast, and there is a call for a fully independent investigation to determine who is truly responsible for the incident.
