RESOLUTION 
Censuring Representative Rashida Tlaib and condemning 
antisemitism. 
Whereas Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib has a long history of 
spewing hate and making antisemitic statements and 
anti-Israeli remarks, all of which are unbecoming of a 
Member of Congress; 
Whereas, in May 2019, Congresswoman Tlaib, while on the 
‘‘Skullduggery podcast’’, said ‘‘There’s a kind of a 
calming feeling, I always tell folks, when I think of the 
Holocaust and the tragedy of the Holocaust . . .’’; 
Whereas, in 2020, Congresswoman Tlaib tweeted an illustra-
tion with the caption, ‘‘From the river to the sea, Pal-

zation (PLO) slogan has been adopted by Hamas and 
calls for the eradication of Israel and the genocide of all 
Jews; 
Whereas, in September 2022, Congresswoman Tlaib partici-
pated in a virtual event hosted by the Americans for Jus-
tice in Palestine Action and said, ‘‘I want you all to know 
that among progressives, it becomes clear that you can-
not claim to hold progressive values yet back Israel’s 
apartheid government’’; 
Whereas, on May 9, 2023, the CEO and National Director 
of the Anti-Defamation League wrote a letter to Speaker 
McCarthy and Minority Leader Jeffries warning them of 
an event Congresswoman Tlaib was planning on hosting 
in the United States Capitol entitled, ‘‘Nakba 75 & the 
Palestinian People’’, and the letter goes on to say, ‘‘In 
previous years, many Nakba Day events have devolved 
into hateful, anti-Israel and even antisemitic language. 
Just last year, in May 2022, speakers at Nakba Day 
events across the country variously referred to Israelis as 
the ‘stench of White European invaders,’ called for ‘death 
to Israel’ and stated that ‘everyone should fight within 
his means. They will fight with stones. Others will fight 
with guns. Others will fight with planes, drones. And oth-
ers will fight with rockets.’ ’’; 
Whereas, on July 18, 2023, Congresswoman Tlaib voted 
against adopting a resolution Expressing the sense of 
Congress supporting the State of Israel; 
Whereas, on October 8, 2023, one day after a series of co-
ordinated attacks on Israel perpetrated by Hamas terror-
ists and leaving more Jews dead than any single day

ating the United States should end its support for the 
State of Israel; 
Whereas acts of hate, discrimination, and violence based on 
religion or ethnicity have no place inside the Halls of 
Congress, and Members of Congress who denounce the 
United States while praising terrorist organizations are 
unfit to hold office; 
Whereas freedom of speech and expression are foundational 
principles in the United States, but when these principles 
are used to promote violence, hatred, or discrimination on 
the basis of religious beliefs, national origin, or ancestry, 
anyone, including Members of Congress, must be held ac-
countable; 
Whereas Congresswoman Tlaib’s repeated anti-Israel remarks 
are irreconcilable with longstanding United States policy 
to support our strong ally in a volatile region; and 
Whereas Congresswoman Tlaib’s repeated antisemitic re-
marks perpetuate and encourage hatred toward Jewish 
people in the United States: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That— 
(1) Representative Rashida Tlaib be censured; 
(2) Representative Rashida Tlaib forthwith 
present herself in the well of the House of Rep-
resentatives for the pronouncement of censure; 
(3) Representative Rashida Tlaib be censured 
with the public reading of this resolution by the 
Speaker; 
(4) the House of Representatives unilaterally 
condemns all forms of antisemitism as a threat to

ish Americans, and stands in solidarity with those 
affected by antisemitism by any Member of Con-
gress; 
(5) the House of Representatives calls upon all 
Members of Congress to denounce and combat all 
forms of antisemitism, emphasize the need to raise 
awareness about the dangers of antisemitism, and

against it; and
