Lone Palestinian-origin lawmaker censured in US House over stance

The

US House

voted Tuesday to censure Democrat representative

Rashida Tlaib

, formally rebuking the sole

Palestinian American

in

Congress

for her statements on the Israel-Hamas war. Twenty-two Democrats joined most Republicans to pass the resolution, which accuses Tlaib of "promoting false narratives" and of "calling for the destruction of the state of Israel." The vote was 234-188.

The resolution specifically cited a video Tlaib published on social media containing the phrase "from the river to the sea", a pro-Palestinian rallying cry that is viewed by many Jews as antisemitic and calling forIsrael's eradication.
