Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s opinions on the Israel-Hamas conflict have proved to be incredibly controversial, resulting in a canceled event and even a congressional censure.
From The Daily Wire. Arizona State University canceled an event that the school was set to host on Friday featuring Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), which comes after she openly expressed support for the elimination of the state of Israel.

The Arizona Republic reported that the event, dubbed “Palestine is an American Issue,” was set to be hosted by the far-Left group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), according to a bipartisan group of Arizona state lawmakers.
The event was canceled after the lawmakers signed a letter titled, “Congresswoman Tlaib’s Extremist, Antisemitic Views Are Not Welcome in the State of Arizona.” …
The lawmakers noted Tlaib’s repeated anti-Semitic remarks and her “support [for] the destruction of the state of Israel.”
“She has a history of espousing such a view both before and following the deadly October 7 terrorist attacks against Israel that were perpetrated by the pro-Palestinian Hamas terrorist organization,” they said. “We believe that such extremist, antisemitic views should be condemned, and they are not welcome in the state of Arizona.” …
Tlaib was censured by the U.S. House of Representatives last week for her support of genocide against the state of Israel.
In a 234-188 vote, 22 Democrats joined 212 Republicans in voting for the censure while four Republicans voted against it. A total of four members voted present while six did not vote.
The resolution to censure Tlaib slammed her for “promoting false narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel.”
The resolution correctly noted that Israel has existed on its lands for thousands of years and that the U.S. played a “critical role in returning Israel to those lands in 1948 immediately following the Holocaust in recognition of its right to exist and as an indelible signal of our solidarity with the Jewish people.”
Tlaib “defended the brutal rapes, murders, be-headings, and kidnapping — including of Americans — by Hamas as justified ‘resistance’ to the ‘apartheid state,’” the resolution said, adding that she “knowingly spread the false narrative that Israel intentionally bombed the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital on October 17 after United States intelligence, Israeli intelligence, and President Biden assessed with high confidence that Israel did not cause the explosion.” …
