Dems Rushed to Issue Statement on Israel Attack
‘Squad’ Democrats React to Israel Attack: Urgent Calls for Ceasefire
Nearly all of the members of the “Squad” in the House of Democrats have swiftly responded to the devastating attack in Israel, where Hamas terrorists have killed hundreds and abducted dozens of people. Democratic Representatives Cori Bush, Jamaal Bowman, Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ilhan Omar have all released statements urging de-escalation in the aftermath of one of the most significant attacks in Israel’s history.
Rashida Tlaib, a Palestinian-American Representative from Michigan, who has previously referred to Israel as an apartheid state, has not yet issued a statement regarding the attacks. Reports suggest that the attacks may have also resulted in the murder or abduction of Americans.
According to CBS News, a group of Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel through various means and carried out killing sprees in the southern region of the country. They reportedly abducted Israelis, including children and the elderly, and murdered innocent citizens. Shocking footage posted online shows the terrorists going door-to-door in search of targets and taking scores of civilians as hostages back to the Gaza Strip.
Videos of the attacks, including a disturbing scene of a woman being paraded through the streets of Gaza, have circulated on the internet. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared a state of war, and the country’s air forces have launched airstrikes on the Gaza Strip in preparation for a potential ground invasion.
In response to the vicious attacks, Cori Bush acknowledged the loss of life on both sides and condemned the violence. She called for an immediate ceasefire and emphasized the need to end U.S. government support for Israel’s military occupation and apartheid. Jamaal Bowman condemned the attacks and called for an end to the blockade of the Gaza Strip, which involves Egypt as well.
Ayanna Pressley described the Hamas attacks as devastating and called for an immediate ceasefire and de-escalation. Similarly, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez strongly condemned the attacks and urged an immediate ceasefire and de-escalation.
Ilhan Omar also condemned the horrific Hamas attacks and called for de-escalation and a ceasefire to break the cycle of violence in the region. She further requested prayers for the people of Gaza, who lack shelters and an iron dome defense system like Israel’s.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu warned that the upcoming war between Hamas and Israel is likely to be bloody and protracted. None of the House Democrats mentioned in this article have responded to requests for comment at this time.
