The House voted to advance a resolution to censure Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib after a failed attempt to block the measure. The resolution, introduced by Georgia GOP Rep. Rich McCormick, accused Tlaib of making remarks critical of Israel and in support of Palestinians during Israel's war against Hamas. The vote was 208 to 213, with six Republicans joining Democrats to table the measure. A second censure resolution from Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is also expected to be considered. Tlaib defended herself, arguing that the censure attempts were an effort to silence her and that her criticism of the Israeli government should not be conflated with antisemitism. She delivered an emotional speech on the House floor, emphasizing the importance of criticizing governments and expressing concern over the dangerous precedent set by equating criticism of the Israeli government with antisemitism. Tlaib received support from Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar during her speech. The resolution accuses Tlaib of promoting false narratives about the Hamas attack on Israel and calling for the destruction of the state of Israel. Tlaib's use of the phrase "from the river to the sea" has also sparked controversy, with supporters of Israel viewing it as antisemitic and a call to destroy the country.
