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.
The misrepresentation is in quoting figures of hospitals, schools, and civilians destroyed without reference to why Israel destroyed them. You have no idea what was happening there or what Israel's military intelligence told them. You know this. Yet you argue against them. It implies your argument is irrelevant itself, because you already have a conclusion and will say anything to argue towards it. It's fallacious. If you cared about convincing others of your cause, you wouldn't need to misrepresent the facts. Instead, you would call for all to verify what you say.
Israel has not leveled Gaza, which any other nation would have done by now. Israel has warned civilians for days now to evacuate to the south. They are starting to allow humanitarian aid. None of this is what you would do if you're there to genocide people.
