The US House late Tuesday night voted to censure Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan over her condemnation of Israel in its war against Hamas.
The resolution, put forward by a member of the Republican majority and passed 234-188, accused Tlaib, the sole Palestinian American in Congress, of “promoting false narratives regarding the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel.”
