Censuring Representative Rashida Tlaib for promoting false narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel.
This resolution (HRES 845) formally censures Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) for specific statements she made regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel. The resolution cites her October 8 comments falsely linking U.S. aid to the attack, her October 18 defense of a false claim about an Israeli hospital bombing, and her November 3 social media post featuring the phrase "from the river to the sea," which the resolution characterizes as a call for Israel's destruction. As a procedural resolution, it does not enact new policy but serves as a formal House condemnation of her conduct. The censure is directed solely at her statements, not at any legislative action or policy change.
