Vote to rebuke US Congresswoman Tlaib expected tomorrow
As we’ve been reporting throughout the day, the US House of Representatives is pushing forward with a resolution to rebuke Tlaib over her criticism of Israel.
But a final decision on the measure is not expected until tomorrow after lawmakers postponed the vote.
Earlier, we reported that Tlaib rejected the resolution as an attempt to silence her.
“The cries of Palestinian and Israeli children sound no different to me. What I don’t understand is why the cries of Palestinians sound different to you all,” she said on the House floor.
I am the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, and my perspective is needed here now more than ever. I will not be silenced and I will not let anyone distort my words.
