Many Democrats support Israel's right to self-defense while urging the protection of innocent civilians.
The White House is under increasing pressure from Capitol Hill as a chorus of lawmakers, including some of President Joe Biden's biggest allies, demand more decisive action regarding the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza.Notably, among those voicing their discontent is Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, who holds the distinction of being the first Palestinian-American woman to serve in Congress.
In a video posted to X, Tlaib said"POTUS, the majority of the American people are not with you on this one." At the end of the video, the words “Joe Biden supported the genocide of the Palestinian people. The American people won’t forget. Biden, support the ceasefire now or don’t count on us in 2024," are displayed.
According to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health in Gaza, the death toll in Gaza has reached almost 10,000, most of whom are women and children. Now, while many Democrats believe Israel has the right to defend itself, they also feel Israel has an obligation to protect innocent civilians from getting hurt.
