Rashida Tlaib Condemns Legislation Erasing Palestinian Death Toll

In a powerful House speech, Representative Rashida Tlaib condemned her colleagues for supporting legislation that would prohibit U.S. officials from citing the Palestinian death toll. Tlaib passionately argued against the bill, describing it as an attempt to erase the existence and suffering of Palestinians.

“It’s disgusting that my colleagues would support legislation to prohibit U.S. officials from even citing the Palestinian death toll," Tlaib stated. "They want to erase the Palestinians who are living, and now they are trying to erase the Palestinians who are dead. This is genocide denial."

Tlaib's remarks highlight the ongoing debate over the recognition and acknowledgment of Palestinian lives lost in the conflict, calling out the proposed legislation as an act of historical and humanitarian erasure.
