House Democrats are facing internal backlash after comments made by members of the left-wing 'Squad' sparked controversy regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian American member of Congress, refused to comment on Hamas beheading Israeli babies, drawing criticism from both sides of the aisle. Tlaib's silence on the issue has led to calls for her expulsion from Congress. The situation has highlighted divisions within the Democratic Party over their stance on the Israel war, with tempers flaring among House Democrats. While party leaders have condemned the Hamas terrorist attack against Israel, they have yet to address the controversial statements made by Tlaib and another Democrat who condemned Israel as an 'occupation' and an 'apartheid system'. The heated debate over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues to dominate the political landscape.
