During Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to the US Congress on Wednesday, July 24, Representative Rashida Tlaib made a proactive move by holding up a sign accusing Netanyahu of being a "war criminal" and "guilty of genocide." Tlaib, the only Palestinian-American in Congress, used the moment to voice her criticism of Israel's actions towards Palestinians. In a follow-up post on X, she declared, "I will never back down in speaking truth to power," and condemned what she described as "genocide" by the Israeli government. Her post featured a photo of the sign that read, "Guilty of genocide." Tlaib expressed solidarity with protesters outside Congress, emphasising the need to uphold the right to dissent.
