Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat from Michigan, has come under scrutiny for refusing to answer questions about whether she condones Hamas terrorists' actions, including chopping off babies' heads and raping women in the streets. Tlaib was repeatedly asked about these reports but chose not to respond. This has sparked a backlash among House Democrats, who are generally pro-Israel but have tolerated the more sympathetic views of Tlaib and other members of the "Squad" on the Palestinian cause. Tlaib's silence on the reported crimes committed by Hamas terrorists has further fanned the controversy. Some have called for Tlaib to be expelled from Congress, while others have criticized her for not condemning the decapitation of Israeli babies. Tlaib's refusal to comment on the Hamas attack on Israel has drawn attention and criticism. The only Palestinian American member of Congress has faced backlash from her Democratic colleagues after issuing a statement condemning the violence in Israel and Palestine and calling for an end to the Israeli occupation. House Democrat leaders have condemned the Hamas attack but have yet to address statements from Tlaib and another Democrat who criticized Israel as an "occupation" and an "apartheid system."
