Washington, Nov. 6, 2023: U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American woman to serve in Congress, has accused President Joe Biden of supporting a “genocide” against Palestinians and warned of repercussions in next year’s election, a Reuters story said Sunday.
The report said that the Democratic Congresswoman from Michigan, in a viral video posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday, repeated her calls for Biden to back a ceasefire in the almost month-long Israel-Hamas conflict.
“The American people will not forget. Biden, support ceasefire now or don’t count on us in 2024,” Tlaib said. “Mr president, the American people are not with you on this one. We will remember in 2024.”
“Joe Biden supported the genocide of the Palestinian people,” Tlaib said in the video clip, which features images of the dead and wounded from bombings in Gaza, pro-Palestinian demonstrations across the United States, Biden declaring support for Israel, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanking the U.S. president.
