Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) called for an “independent investigation” into the bombing of a Gaza Strip hospital on Monday, continuing her refusal to accept US and Israeli findings they say show Islamic Jihad terrorists were behind the atrocity.
“Media outlets and third-party analysts have raised doubts about claims and evidence offered by both Israel and the Gaza Ministry of Health, and I agree with the United Nations that an independent investigation is necessary,” Tlaib said in a statement.
“I cannot uncritically accept Israel’s denials of responsibility as fact, especially in light of confirmation from the World Health Organization that Israel has bombed numerous medical facilities in Gaza and reports from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society of ongoing threats from the Israeli military to evacuate hospital,” she said.
Hamas claimed last week that an Israeli airstrike killed about 500 people at the Al Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza City — sparking riots across the Middle East and forcing President Biden to scrap a planned summit with Arab leaders in Jordan.
But both the White House and the Israeli government have determined that the explosion was caused by a misfired Islamic Jihad rocket from the Palestinian side of the border.
Islamic Jihad is a smaller, more radical Palestinian terrorist group that often works with Hamas.
“Both the Israeli and United States governments have long, documented histories of misleading the public about wars and war crimes – like last year’s Israeli military assassination of Shireen Abu Akleh and the false claims of weapons of mass destruction that led our country into the Iraq War – and cannot clear themselves of responsibility without an independent international investigation,” Tlaib added. “This debate should not distract us from the urgent need for a ceasefire to save innocent civilian lives.”

I don’t think she believes it. She chooses to act as if she believes it, so she can push the propaganda herself.
Why dont you go over there yourself and check it out ???
The Truth is not important—its the belief that counts. The PR of Israeli bombs killing children—and there are lots of them==is all that counts.
By all means SHE SHOULD GO and check it out. Bye
Soros paid agitators
Can someone show me where it says in the constitution that foreign Islamic mass murdering terrorists must have a rep in the US Congress? When the hell did this start?
Investigate HER.
And Illhand Ohmurt.
“It’s because she wants to believe it”
If she ever relents she’ll carry a grudge over it because her self-esteem is the most important thing. She does not mean well. Her middle name might as well be “Taqiyya”.
Of course, we might get rid of you permanently. 🤓
Rashilda, the Queen of the Desert Caravans is on a tear. She needs to shove a sock in it.
... and Summer Lee, my rep from Pittsburgh, (Pa 12) is right besude her.
Nor does she believe the video showing the rocket was launched from a Hamas position and landed in the hospital parking lot.
You hit your own parking lot
She would just be replaced with someone like her. Her district is majority Palestinian Muslim.
“Both the Israeli and United States governments have long, documented histories of misleading the public about wars and war crimes”
This comment alone explosive. A US Congresswoman calling the government liars and responsible for war crimes. Is this giving aid and comfort to enemies of the United States?
This Muslim should be deported. She’s not needed here
So the recording of one dumbass hamas guy telling the other dumbass hamas guy that it was one of their rockets didn’t do it for her? She needs to get over there, stat, and stay in gaza to investigate.
