Pro-Israel Democrats Leap to Jewish State’s Defense as Rep. Rashida Tlaib Repeats ‘Apartheid’ Accusation in US Congressional Debate
May 14, 2021 | District of Columbia
Pro-Israel Democratic Party lawmakers vocally defended the Jewish state in a Congressional debate this week, as Hamas rocket attacks on Israeli civilian targets intensified and the IDF prepared for a possible ground offensive in Gaza.
Speaking from the floor of the House on Thursday, Rep. Brad Schneider (IL) accused Hamas of “relentlessly attacking Israel, launching more than 1,500 rockets just since Monday targeting Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Be’er Sheva and every community in between.”
Schneider said that his “heart breaks for all the innocents killed and injured.”
“It’s true more have died in Gaza,” he said. “But Israel goes out of its way to minimize civilian casualties. Hamas, conversely, goes out of its way to target civilians in Israel … while launching its rockets from civilian areas in Gaza.”..
