Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., cast the only present vote on a House resolution condemning Hamas for rape and sexual violence in their invasion of Israel. The resolution, which received near-unanimous support from other House members, explicitly names Hamas as responsible for these acts and cites forensic evidence of such crimes. While Rep. Tlaib acknowledged the accuracy of the resolution, she believed it did not go far enough in addressing offenses by Israel. Her decision to vote present drew heavy criticism, with conservatives accusing her of condoning rape and sympathizing with terrorists. Rep. Tlaib has faced backlash for her statements on the Israel-Hamas conflict in the past, including being censured for allegedly inciting an illegal demonstration and voting against legislation barring Hamas members from entering the U.S. The resolution’s almost unanimous support highlights the ongoing divisions and debates surrounding the Israel-Hamas conflict.
