In a statement on the two censure resolutions, Tlaib said, "It's a shame my colleagues are more focused on silencing me than they are on saving lives, as the death toll in Gaza surpasses 10,000. Many of them have shown me that Palestinian lives simply do not matter to them, but I still do not police their rhetoric or actions."

"Rather than acknowledge the voice and perspective of the only Palestinian American in Congress, my colleagues have resorted to distorting my positions in resolutions filled with obvious lies," Tlaib continued. "I have repeatedly denounced the horrific targeting and killing of civilians by Hamas and the Israeli government, and have mourned the Israeli and Palestinian lives lost."

The blood of thousands of Palestinians are at the hands of both Democrats and Republicans.

Biden especially, he swims in a olympic sized pool filled with the blood of Palestinians.

And they'd still expect brown people to continue vote for them. Trashy, evil, senseless bastards, all of them.

Fucking what the fuck.

I wish I didn't have family here. I don't know where I'd go, but I'm done with this country. I truly want out.

Kind of figured she was in actual trouble when people got mad about the river to the sea comments.

It takes flagrant ignorance and dishonesty to interpret "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" as anything but a rallying cry for the liberation of a historically oppressed people. Anybody who views it as a Hamas rallying cry to eliminate all of Israel is lying to themselves and lying to you.

I wonder how much money the 22 Dems took from AIPAC.

Fuck those bastards. Rotten to the core.

Democrats expect brown people to vote for them and this is how they go about doing it... Blood is on their hands. Fuck them and Biden and everyone else. Blood thirsty pos.

Sickening, unhinged and demented. Debbie Wasserman Schultz represents everything reprehensible about the Democrats. I don't care for "wrong side of history" arguments, but there is a special place in hell for the Dems that voted to do this while ignoring straight up calls for genocide from GOP members, some even wearing the uniform of a foreign military on the fucking floor of congress while doing so. The world sees you. Despicable AIPAC creatures one and all. Shame them.

This explains why Ritchie Torres literally doesn't talk about anything but his support for Israel. It's like he was elected to be Israel's PR manager.

Susie Lee doesn't surprise me, but it's aggravating nonetheless. Yeah, let's quiet the only Palestinian in the room because their experiences don't matter.

Rashida Tlaib will go down in history for her principled stances. The 22 dems that voted against her need to be primaried for being the pieces of shits they are. The double standards in this country are truly a spectacle to behold, you cant help but laugh at the obscenity.

Be sure to support the campaigns of Omar, Bush, Pressley, AOC and others who stood by her and have called for a cease fire.

It is sad I have to hope my Senators aren't being this stupid to censure the ones who are actually giving a fuck.

It looks like a lot of these Congresspeople are Jewish, or represent areas that are very Jewish...so I'm not surprised.

Terrible censure.

It serves as a sour underscore to the current state of US politics when our progressive party in this country can't even get "don't do genocide" right.

I'd argue the U.S doesn't have a progressive party.

We have a party who is drooling and dreaming over the possibility of fascism, and the other desperately clinging to the status quo. Both of which are bought and paid for by corporate interests.

Considering the President of the United States, a Democrat, is responsible for openly enabling the continued genocide of Palestinians, it seems disengenous AT BEST to try to distance your party from the fallout of this situation.

Yeah, I considered editing in some quotations around the word progressive.
