Lawmakers have dropped a bid to censure the House’s only Palestinian American representative after she joined a nonviolent protest calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and accused Israel of carrying out a genocide. The resolution to censure Michigan Democrat Rashida Tlaib was brought by far-right Georgia Congressmember Marjorie Taylor Greene, who accused Tlaib of “antisemitic activity” and “insurrection.” Congreemember Tlaib rejected the accusations, writing in a statement, “I will not be bullied, I will not be dehumanized, and I will not be silenced.”

Congressmember Marjorie Taylor Greene herself has repeatedly made racist, Islamophobic and antisemitic remarks. In 2018, she advanced a conspiracy theory about the Rothschild banking firm — a popular target of antisemitic tropes — suggesting it was connected to a plot to start wildfires in California using a “space laser.”
