Tlaib refuses to apologize for blaming Israel for Gaza hospital blast, attacks Biden
Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., said that Israel is to blame for the hospital explosion in Gaza despite Israel denying fault.
Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib refused to apologize Wednesday for saying on Tuesday that Israel is to blame for the hospital explosion that day in Gaza, an accusation that sparked political backlash against her from Republicans as Israel denies fault.
Tlaib joined thousands of protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza during a solidarity rally hosted by the left-leaning group Jewish Voice for Peace at the National Mall. She was visibly emotional, at times pausing her speech to openly weep and criticizing lawmakers who have not backed a ceasefire resolution.

Who? For the lazy. She's Palestinian as well so the bias is understandable.
A member of the Democratic Party, Tlaib represented districts 6 and 12, respectively, in the Michigan House of Representatives before her election to Congress.[3] In 2018, she won the Democratic nomination for the United States House of Representatives in Michigan's 13th congressional district. She ran unopposed in the general election and became the first woman of Palestinian descent in Congress, the first Muslim woman to serve in the Michigan legislature, and one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress (the other being Ilhan Omar).[4][5][6] Tlaib is a member of The Squad, an informal group of six (four until the 2020 elections) U.S. representatives on the left wing of the Democratic Party.[7]

The hospital attack was a failed rocket by Islamic Jihad coming from Gaza toward Israel.

At the very least she should recant her statements. There's been enough chaos from it being attributed to Israel that she has a responsibility as a public official to issue a retraction.
Who? You're in a political subreddit. You didn't know who she is?
Not everyone's American, we don't know your entire portfolio of talking heads.
Okay so read the article and it says exactly who she is?
Are you bothered by someone providing more context? What is it you are adding here?
... You know all 435 voting members of the US House of Representatives which she's a part of and 100 Congressman?
Right lmfao.
She's not some nobody from nowhere.
