Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) has urged the public to consider voting against President Joe Biden in the upcoming 2024 presidential election due to his handling of the ongoing conflict in Gaza and his support for Israel. Speaking at the People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit, Michigan, Tlaib criticized Biden for his statement that Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza does not amount to genocide. Biden made this remark during a Jewish American Heritage Month event on May 20, following the International Criminal Court’s announcement that they were seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and several Hamas leaders.
“I don’t need to tell you that you’re on the right side,” Tlaib told the audience. “I don’t need to. But, I’ll be damned if I wait ten years before they apologize to all of you for doing what was right at this moment.”
Tlaib continued to slam the United States government for sending “billions of dollars” each year to Israel, which she described as having an “apartheid government.”

Tlaib continued, “it is disgraceful that the Biden administration and my colleagues in Congress continue to smear them for protesting to save lives, no matter faith or ethnicity. It is cowardly,” Tlaib added. “But, we’re not gonna forget in November, are we? The International Court of Justice just ruled that the Israeli government must stop its invasion of Rafah. But, President Biden says what’s happening in Gaza is not a genocide. Where’s your red line, President Biden?”
