TL;DR Summary

The House of Representatives has voted to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in Congress, over her remarks on the Israel-Hamas war. The resolution, introduced by Rep. Rich McCormick, accused Tlaib of promoting false narratives and calling for the destruction of Israel. Tlaib defended her comments, emphasizing that her criticism is aimed at the Israeli government and not Jewish people. The censure resolution was approved by a vote of 234-188, with most House Republicans and a few Democrats in favor. Tlaib survived a previous attempt to censure her last week.
