(Algemeiner) US Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) lambasted Israeli officials as “genocidal” for targeting a senior Hezbollah commander in Lebanon, despite remaining silent just days earlier when Hezbollah killed 12 children in a rocket attack on northern Israel.
“This is exactly what the genocidal maniac [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and the majority of Israeli officials want,” Tlaib wrote on social media. “They want a full-blown regional war, and guess what? It will be American dollars funding this expansion of genocidal war. We must stop this madness now. More innocent lives will be killed.”
Tlaib was referring to Israel killing Fuad Shukr, the senior Hezbollah commander, with an air strike in Beirut, Lebanon, on Tuesday.
