Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., said that Israel is to blame for the hospital explosion in Gaza despite Israel denying fault.

Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib refused to apologize Wednesday for saying on Tuesday that Israel is to blame for the hospital explosion that day in Gaza, an accusation that sparked political backlash against her from Republicans as Israel denies fault.

Tlaib joined thousands of protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza during a solidarity rally hosted by the left-leaning group Jewish Voice for Peace at the National Mall. She was visibly emotional, at times pausing her speech to openly weep and criticizing lawmakers who have not backed a ceasefire resolution.

    Hamas’s founding charter prohibits them from seeking peace or negotiating at all.

    And they still have ~150-200 hostages, mostly civilians.

    The problem is that Hamas exists, and has complete political control over Gaza. There is nobody Israel can talk to, while Hamas is in power, and convince them to return the hostages, stop the rocket fire, etc.

    This is not a problem that can be solved with words.

    The only glimmer of hope, unfortunately, lays on the other side of a complete and total destruction of Hamas in Gaza.
