Antisemite Tlaib Triples Down on False Gaza Hospital Narrative

In an interview with Haaretz published Monday, Muslim antisemite Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MN) tripled down on the Hamas debunked lie that Israel was behind last week’s explosion at a Gaza hospital.

“Media outlets and third-party analysts have raised doubts about claims and evidence offered by both Israel and the Gaza Ministry of Health, and I agree with the United Nations that an independent investigation is necessary,” Tlaib told Haaretz. “I cannot uncritically accept Israel’s denials of responsibility as fact, especially in light of confirmation from the World Health Organization that Israel has bombed numerous medical facilities in Gaza and reports from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society of ongoing threats from the Israeli military to evacuate hospital.”

She continued, “Both the Israeli and United States governments have long, documented histories of misleading the public about wars and war crimes – like last year’s Israeli military assassination of Shireen Abu Akleh and the false claims of weapons of mass destruction that led our country into the Iraq War – and cannot clear themselves of responsibility without an independent international investigation. This debate should not distract us from the urgent need for a ceasefire to save innocent civilian lives.”

Last week, Tlaib quickly condemned Israel after it was first reported that an Israeli airstrike killed hundreds of Palestinian civilians at a Gaza hospital.

“Israel just bombed the Baptist killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that,” Tlaib wrote on X. “@POTUS this is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a ceasefire & help de-escalate. Your war and destruction only approach has opened my eyes and many Palestinian Americans and Muslims Americans like me. We will remember where you stood.”

Initial reports were solely reliant on a statement from the Hamas-controlled “Gaza Health Ministry.” However, evidence emerged that the origin of the explosion was from a misfired rocket within Gaza aimed at Israel from Hamas ally Islamic Jihad.

It was also revealed that the explosion mostly occurred in the parking lot of the hospital and that the death toll is estimated to be a small fraction of what Hamas first alleged.

Tlaib’s post, which was never deleted from X, was slapped with Community Notes that read, “AP’s analysis shows that the rocket that broke up in the air was fired from within Palestinian territory, and that the hospital explosion was most likely caused when part of that rocket crashed to the ground.”

But hater Tlaib continued pushing Hamas’ narrative at a pro-Palestinian protest outside Capitol Hill last week, despite it having already been debunked by both the Biden administration and the IDF.

“People think it’s ok to bomb a hospital with children,” rabble-rouser Tlaib tearfully told the crowd Wednesday.
