Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., a member of the far-left group 'The Squad' in Congress, recently made controversial statements regarding the American holiday of Thanksgiving. In an Instagram post, Tlaib expressed mourning for Indigenous people killed by European settlers and the United States, attributing it to the theft of their land. The post, credited to a pro-Palestinian organization, emphasized solidarity with Indigenous people worldwide, including those in Palestine.
Tlaib, a Muslim Palestinian American, has a history of criticizing Israel. In November 2023, the House of Representatives voted to censure Tlaib for her anti-Israel remarks following terrorist attacks. She has referred to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a 'genocidal maniac' and accused him of atrocities against Palestinians.
