States Capitol Complex. 

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 

NOVEMBER 1, 2023 

Mrs. GREENE of Georgia submitted the following resolution; which was laid 

on the table 

RESOLUTION 

Censuring Representative Rashida Tlaib for antisemitic activity, sympathizing with terrorist organizations, and leading an insurrection at the United States Capitol Complex. 

Whereas, in May 2019, Rashida Tlaib said that she celebrated the Holocaust, and felt a ‘‘calming feeling’’ when 

thinking about the genocide of millions of Jews; 

Whereas, in 2020, Rashida Tlaib retweeted an illustration 

with the caption, ‘‘From the river to the sea, Palestine 

will be free’’, and this Palestine Liberation Organization 

(PLO) slogan has been adopted by Hamas and calls for 

the elimination of Israel and the death of all Jews; 

Whereas, in September 2022, Rashida Tlaib, as a member of 

the Congressional Progressive Caucus, displayed her disVerDate Sep 11 2014 02:24 Nov 03, 2023 Jkt 049200 PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6300 E:\BILLS\HR829.LTH HR829

dain for Israel, saying, ‘‘You cannot claim to hold progressive values yet back Israel’s apartheid government.’’; 

Whereas instead of denouncing the horrors of Hamas slaughtering Israelis and demanding the release of all hostages 

held by Hamas, Rashida Tlaib stated on October 8, 

2023, ‘‘The path to the future must include lifting the 

blockade, ending the occupation, and dismantling the 

apartheid system that creates the suffocating dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance.’’; 

Whereas Rashida Tlaib exhibited her hatred for America by 

reposting a message on October 12, 2023, blaming America for allowing the deaths of Palestinian babies at the 

hands of Israel; 

Whereas Rashida Tlaib led an insurrection at the United 

States Capitol Complex on October 18, 2023, which put 

Members of Congress, their staffs, and Capitol visitors in 

danger by shutting down elevators, stairwells, and points 

of egress, while obstructing official business in both the 

House of Representatives and the Senate, including a 

Senate Foreign Affairs Committee hearing; 

Whereas the insurrection led by Rashida Tlaib was organized 

by Jewish Voice for Peace, which the Anti-Defamation 

League calls ‘‘a radical anti-Israel activist group that advocates for a complete economic, cultural and academic 

boycott of the state of Israel’’, and that believes ‘‘Israeli 

policies and actions are motivated by deeply rooted Jewish racial chauvinism and religious supremacism.’’; 

Whereas members of the Southern Poverty Law Center, a 

far-left nonprofit organization, were present at the insurrection at the Capitol on October 18, 2023;

Whereas several insurrectionists at the Capitol belong to a 

group messaging chat called, ‘‘Global Intifada’’, which is 

the Arabic word for ‘‘rebellion’’ or ‘‘uprising’’, and refers 

to a series of protests and violent riots carried out by 

Palestinians in Israel during the last century; 

Whereas, by leading an anti-American and antisemitic insurrection on October 18, 2023, Rashida Tlaib followed 

Hezbollah’s orders to carry out a ‘‘day of unprecedented 

anger’’ following an explosion at a Gazan hospital, lying 

about Israel’s responsibility for the attack, which United 

States intelligence agencies said was not perpetrated by 

Israel; and 

Whereas Members of Congress who denounce the United 

States while praising terrorist organizations are unfit to 

hold office: Now, therefore, be it 

1 Resolved, That— 

2 (1) Representative Rashida Tlaib be censured; 

3 (2) Representative Rashida Tlaib forthwith 

4 present herself in the well of the House of Rep5 resentatives for the pronouncement of censure; and 

6 (3) Representative Rashida Tlaib be censured 

7 with the public reading of this resolution by the 

8 Speaker.
