                Censuring Representative Rashida Tlaib.

Whereas Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has a long history of making anti-Semitic 
        and anti-Israeli remarks;
Whereas, in May of 2019, Congresswoman Tlaib was a guest on the Skullduggery 
        podcast and 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 September of 2022, Congresswoman Tlaib participated in a virtual 
        event hosted by the Americans for Justice in Palestine Action and said, 
        ``I want you all to know that among progressives, it becomes clear that 
        you cannot 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.'' 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 others 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; and
Whereas, on October 8, 2023, one day after a series of coordinated attacks on 
        Israel perpetrated by Hamas terrorists and leaving more Jews dead than 
        any single day since the Holocaust, Congresswoman Tlaib issued a 
        statement calling Israel an apartheid state and insinuating the United 
        States should end its support for the State of Israel: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) censures Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib;
            (2) stands with the State of Israel and rejects anti-
        semitism in all its forms; and
            (3) renounces fringe beliefs that the State of Israel is an 
        apartheid State.
