Squad’ members Omar, Tlaib blame Israel for deadly hospital bombing

[Guest]

Bombing a hospital is among the gravest of war crimes. The IDF reportedly blowing up one of the few places the injured and wounded can seek medical treatment and shelter during a war is horrific,” Omar (D-Minn.) wrote on X.

“@POTUS needs to push for an immediate ceasefire to end this slaughter.”

Tlaib (D-Mich.) also fingered the Israel Defense Force as the culprit behind the explosion at Al-Ahli Arab Hospital that Gaza officials said more than 500 people dead — but took Omar’s sentiment one step further.

Tlaib accused the 80-year-old commander in chief of playing a role in the carnage by not stepping in to quell the conflict between Israel and Hamas after the terrorist group launched its surprise attack on Oct. 7, killing more than 1,300 people in Israel.

“Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that,” Tlaib, the first Palestinian American elected to Congress, said in a statement.

“@POTUS this is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a ceasefire & help de-escalate. Your war and destruction only approach has opened my eyes and many Palestinian Americans and Muslims Americans like me. We will remember where you stood.”

Biden has said he’s “outraged and deeply saddened” by the deadly bombing, but he refused to say who he believes was responsible.

Bush introduced the legislation Monday, demanding the Biden administration “immediately call for and facilitate deescalation [sic] and a cease-fire to urgently end the current violence” and “promptly send and facilitate the entry of humanitarian assistance into Gaza.”

“500 doctors, patients, and civilians killed after a hospital in Gaza was bombed. We must not look away from this violence. We must prevent further loss of life,” Bush said Tuesday.
