Rashida Tlaib Sobs as She Repeats Hamas Claim About Hospital Bombing

Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib sobbed during a Wednesday speech as she repeated Hamas’ disputed claim that an Israeli airstrike kill hundreds of people at a hospital in the Gaza Strip.

A blast on the Al Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City left over 500 dead Tuesday night, Gazan authorities claimed. Officials with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have denied Hamas’ claim that an Israeli airstrike caused the bombing, blaming the explosion instead on a rocket launched by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Subsequent analysis has questioned the initially reported death toll and suggested that that the rocket struck the parking lot and caused no significant damage to hospital structures.

Tlaib, along with Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, have refused to retract their claims repeating Hamas’ accusations against Israel. The Michigan congresswoman, who is outspokenly pro-Palestine, attended a rally calling for a ceasefire.

“To continue to watch people think it’s okay to bomb a hospital where children … you know what’s so hard sometimes is watching those videos and the people telling the kids, ‘Don’t cry.’ I’m like, ‘Let them cry,’” Tlaib said while beginning to cry herself. “And they’re shaking, and you know this, they keep telling them not to cry. They can cry, I can cry, we all can cry. If we’re not crying, something is wrong and so I’m telling you right now, President [Joe] Biden, not all of America is with you on this one.”
