Radical Democrat Squad Member Flies Palestinian Flag Outside Capitol Office Amid Israel Attack

Following the devastating terrorist attack by Hamas on Israel over the weekend that has left over 800 Israelis and at least nine Americans dead, radical Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) continues to fly a Palestinian flag outside her Capitol Hill office.

Tlaib, who is of Palestinian descent, has routinely spoken out against Israel, notably joining other members of the progressive 'Squad' in boycotting the Israeli president's joint address to Congress earlier this year.

The congresswoman issued a statement following the attack on Israel over the weekend in which she condemned Israel's actions and called the state an "apartheid state."

"I grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today, and every day," she said in a statement on Sunday. "I am determined as ever to fight for a just future where everyone can live in peace, without fear, and with true freedom, equal rights, and human dignity."

"The path to that future must include lifting the blockade, ending the occupation, and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance," Tlaib continued. "The failure to recognize the violent reality of living under siege, occupation, and apartheid makes no one safer. No person, no child anywhere, should have to suffer or live in fear of violence."

As reported by the Washington Examiner, former Speaker of the House Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) slammed the various Democrat lawmakers who have decided to defend Hamas rather than standing with Israel.

“Allowing the elected members of this body to speak antisemitism and not condemn it is wrong,” he said during a press conference.

Tlaib's continued support of Palestine comes as Hamas had taken dozens of hostages, including Americans, as Israel's IDF amassed over 100,000 troops on the border to being the long siege of the Hamas-led Gaza Strip.

As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, Hamas terrorists announced on Monday that they would be executing hostages on live television if Israel refused to give warning before air striking the Gaza Strip.

Abu Ubaideh, the military spokesman for Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades, said, "From this moment on, we announced that any targeting of innocent civilians without warning will be met regretfully to say by executing one of the hostages in our custody and we will be forced to broadcast this execution."

As reported by The Wall Street Journal, Israel Minister for Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer confirmed that Americans are amongst the scores of hostages taken by Hamas during their assault into Israeli territory.

“I think it’s scores of hostages,” Dermer told CNN. “I can tell you there’s also American hostages as part of that number as well.”
