Just one month after the House voted to censure "Squad" member Rep. Rashida Tlaib over her rhetoric about the Israel-Hamas war, key Democrats are remaining quiet after she condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a "genocidal maniac" and accused members of Congress of supporting a "war criminal" by meeting with him. Tlaib should not be a second thought.

     "Genocidal maniac. Every member of Congress who sits down with this murderer is supporting a war criminal," the Michigan Democrat wrote on her Instagram page Wednesday, where she also shared a graphic from a left-wing news outlet claiming that Netanyahu is "working to move Palestinians out of Gaza."  Tlaib, the only Palestinian-American in Congress, added that "we will never forget," and in another post included a photograph of a dead Palestinian infant and wrote that she is "so sick and tired of our country funding and supporting a genocide and war on children. Please don’t stop talking about Palestine."

     Such rhetoric, he said at the time, "gives license to darker ideas that have always lurked below the surface of every question involving the Jewish people.”  House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., also has not commented on Tlaib's latest statement, but said earlier this month that he's committed to the reelection of all members of the House Democratic Caucus, "from the most progressive to the most centrist, to the most moderate," The Root has reported. "That’s been my position and perspective even prior to serving in this role in the previous four years as chair of the House Democratic Caucus.”
