Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib's decision to remain silent when questioned about Hamas' actions towards children and women in Israel has generated significant backlash online.

Since the breach of Israel's defenses by the militant organization Hamas, the country has experienced significant casualties and injuries. Tragically, close to 900 Israelis have lost their lives, while approximately 2,600 individuals have sustained severe injuries. This breach occurred when Hamas launched nearly 2000 missiles, overwhelming Israel's defenses. In addition to the missile attacks, Hamas also sent waves of fighters across the border into the southern region of Israel. These fighters successfully took control of military bases and even took hostages during their incursion.

According to a report by the New York Post, a tragic incident occurred in a small settlement located near the Gaza border. Allegedly, militants were responsible for the deaths of at least 40 babies and young children. Shockingly, some of the victims were reportedly beheaded, while others were shot along with their families. 

The soldiers described the distressing sight of babies whose heads had been severed. The individual was fatally shot by a firearm. During a broadcast from Kibbutz Kfar Aza, i24 News correspondent Nicole Zedek expressed distress over the tragic incident where families were ruthlessly shot and killed while they were in their beds.

On Wednesday, October 11th, Hillary Vaughn, a correspondent from Fox News, sought out Rashida Tlaib to obtain her reaction regarding the actions of Hamas militants who have been responsible for the tragic deaths of innocent infants and children in a Middle Eastern nation. 

Vaughn chose to share a video on her X (previously known as Twitter) account, in which she can be heard posing a question to a congresswoman. The question raised concerns the actions of Hamas terrorists, specifically their reported acts of decapitating infants and setting children on fire. The question being posed is whether one supports Israel's right to defend themselves against acts of brutality. 

As Tlaib made her way out of a passage, the individual persisted in asking the same questions, while Tlaib opted to maintain her silence.



Congresswoman, could you please provide a statement regarding the actions of Hamas terrorists involving the harm inflicted upon infants? When it comes to the topic of Hamas terrorists and their involvement in the tragic loss of innocent lives, it is important to address the gravity of the situation. The actions carried out by Hamas militants have resulted in the deaths of numerous infants, which is undeniably a distressing and deeply concerning matter. Vaughn repeated his statement, however, Tlaib remained unresponsive and did not provide any reaction.

Shortly after the Michigan representative made controversial remarks about Israel being a "apartheid state" and advocating for the cessation of US funding to the country during the ongoing conflict, criticism from fellow Democrats followed. 

The lack of acknowledgment regarding the harsh and violent conditions experienced by individuals living under siege, occupation, and apartheid does not contribute to the overall safety of anyone involved. Every individual, regardless of age or location, should be free from suffering and the constant threat of violence. According to the New York Post, Tlaib emphasized the importance of acknowledging the shared humanity in one another in her statement. 

The speaker expressed their belief that the ongoing cycle of violence will persist as long as their country continues to provide substantial, unconditional funding to support the apartheid government. 

Following her actions there was a swift and widespread backlash on the internet directed towards Rashida Tlaib. This criticism stemmed from Tlaib's apparent reluctance to condemn the actions of Hamas, specifically their involvement in the tragic killing of defenseless infants. 

Rashida Tlaib's decision to refrain from commenting or condemning certain acts has been a subject of criticism, with some perceiving her actions as indicative of cowardice. 

Antithetical to American values, they stand in direct opposition to the principles and beliefs that define the United States. Removing individuals from a particular group or community is being suggested. One person expressed their belief that she is evil, while another person found it difficult to understand how a U.S. congresswoman could fail to condemn the horrific act of beheading babies.

Another individual expressed their frustration by stating, "It is imperative that we remove that woman from her position of power." Meanwhile, someone else commented, "She seems to take pleasure in her actions, as if she is delighted by them." The individual in question has consistently exhibited this behavior on multiple occasions. However, she refrained from uttering those words. 

The situation is truly remarkable and difficult to comprehend. Another person commented that the question was quite simple and could have been answered effortlessly by their 9-year-old child.
