Tlaib refuses to apologize for blaming Israel for Gaza hospital blast, attacks Biden

Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib refused to apologize Wednesday for saying on Tuesday that Israel is to blame for the hospital explosion that day in Gaza, an accusation that sparked political backlash against her from Republicans as Israel denies fault.

Tlaib joined thousands of protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza during a solidarity rally hosted by the left-leaning group Jewish Voice for Peace at the National Mall. She was visibly emotional, at times pausing her speech to openly weep and criticizing lawmakers who have not backed a ceasefire resolution.

If you do not think the situation in Israel is apartheid then you just don't know what you're talking about. Israel is undisputably an apartheid state. What color are israeli license plates and what color are the Palestinians license plates? Can they use the same roads? Israel is commiting genocide of the Palestinian people they keep them in an open air prison and lob bombs on them. You're not only an apartheid apologist but also a genocide apologist. I hope your proud of yourself and your views.

What color are israeli license plates and what color are the Palestinians license plates?

What color are Delaware license plates and what color are Maryland license plates?

Can they use the same roads?

All Israelis can use the same roads, yes.

Really? Is that what you think Apartheid South Africa was? Laws enforcing a border with a neighboring nation, and cosmetic differences in shit like license plates for different nationalities? Look up what made Apartheid South Africa suck, and then try to find parallels in Israel. As a base matter, South Africa is one country. And as a reminder, nobody refers to South Korea as an apartheid state.
