Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), a proud member of the Hamas caucus,]( displayed her ignorance of terms like “genocide” during a livestream discussing the Israel-Hamas war. As an ardent critic of the Israeli government and aggressive defender of Hamas, she has been on the front lines of the anti-Israel debate, using her position to spout pro-Hamas propaganda while urging Congress to force Israel to stop its war against the terrorist organization. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., is calling out her colleagues in the U.S. Congress who have sat down with[Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the ongoing war between his country]( and the terror group Hamas. She called the conservative leader a "genocidal maniac" in a post on her Instagram Story on Wednesday. As is typical, there are several flaws in Tlaib’s assertions.

They regard the U.S. as part of settler/colonizers that must be "abolished," not just the state of Israel, as one professor/activist explained. [So on Thursday when they blocked the exits of the World Trade Center,](many had a visceral, bad reaction to seeing people posing there in keffiyehs, waving the Palestinian and Yemen flags.
