MI SR0082

Calls on U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib to resign from her position representing Michigan's 12th Congressional District.

Cites Tlaib's responses to the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel as insensitive and inappropriate, including her refusal to initially condemn Hamas and sharing of Hamas propaganda following a Gaza hospital explosion.

Objects to Tlaib's defense of the phrase "from the river to the sea," which the resolution characterizes as antisemitic and calls for eradication of Israel and the Jewish people.

References a pattern of anti-Israel and antisemitic comments by Tlaib, including calling Israel an "apartheid government."

States the resolution was offered by 18 Republican senators and notes the statements have caused pain to Michigan's Jewish community and Israeli citizens.
