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.

So Egypt is an apartheid state too, right?

And Jordan?

Oh yeah, I love whataboutisms! They're absolutely a valid way to... deflect from the topic actually being discussed.

Somebody doesn't know what whataboutism is. I do love how you couldn't answer the question though, proved my point very effectively
