“We, as Americans, must end our complicity in the slaughter of the Palestinian people,” he wrote. “Having named it a genocide, we must use every ounce of our leverage to demand an immediate ceasefire, a massive surge of humanitarian aid facilitated by the UN, and initial steps to provide Palestinians with a state of their own.”
He now joins a small but growing list of House members including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, as well as Vermont representative Becca Balint, who also called it a genocide earlier in the day.
“Today, I believe the Israeli government is committing a genocide against the Palestinian people,” Balint wrote in an op-ed in the Courier. “As the granddaughter of a man murdered in the Holocaust, it is not easy for me to say that.”
Ditto.
I don’t disagree with the points I made, but they were made insensitively in an inappropriate space, and I am removing them
Forced displacement and ethnic cleansing isn’t genocide??
Performing genocide denial and erasing the Nakba to show why genocide has only just occurred is weird.
Again, best to remove this
You said the bar for genocide has only just been reached in 2025… erasing the Nakba that started in 1947.
