     Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., on Friday accused President Joe Biden of endorsing the "genocide of the Palestinian people."  Tlaib is a wicked anti-Semite.

     Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Tlaib shared a video featuring pro-Palestinian demonstrations across the United States, boasting tens of thousands of participants.  "Mr. President, the American people are not with you on this one. We will remember in 2024," she said.  In the wake of Hamas' attack on Israel on Oct. 7, Biden reaffirmed the long-standing strategic and military alliance with Israel. Political disagreements have delayed a new security assistance package, though, as the House approved a nearly $14.5 billion military aid package for Israel that is sure to be dead on arrival in the Senate.

     While the amount for Israel in the House bill is similar to what Biden sought, the White House said the Republican plan’s failure to include humanitarian assistance for Gaza is a "grave mistake" as the crisis deepens.  As a Palestinian-American, Tlaib has emerged as one of the most vocal proponents in Congress for an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East crisis. Last month, Tlaib, along with more than a dozen House Democrats, endorsed a resolution advocating for a ceasefire.

     Among the Palestinians killed in Gaza are more than 3,900 Palestinian children, the Gaza Health Ministry said, without providing a breakdown of civilians and fighters.  More than 1,400 people have died on the Israeli side, mainly civilians killed during Hamas’ initial attack. Twenty-four Israeli soldiers have been killed in Gaza since the start of the ground operation.
