During a speech on the House floor on Thursday, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) spoke about the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

Transcript

00:01The Israeli government has deliberately blocked food, medicine, and fuel from entering Gaza.

00:07The entire population of Gaza is experiencing famine,

00:10and half a million Palestinians are facing catastrophic levels of starvation.

00:15At least 66 Palestinian children have already been starved to death.

00:20Maybe if my colleagues would close their eyes or pretend that they're not Palestinians, that they would care.

00:25That they would care that Palestinians have been forced to eat grass.

00:28Human beings, animal feed, while thousands of trucks carrying food sit blocked at the border.

00:36The Israeli government is using starvation as a weapon of war.

00:40Now the Israeli forces are deliberately shooting and killing starving Palestinians lined up for food.

00:46And the responses by the Israeli government doesn't add up.

00:49875 murdered in six weeks alone.

00:54The so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, backed by the Israeli government and the Trump administration, is a deadly sham.

01:02The United Nations calls it a death trap.

01:04The Israeli soldiers have even admitted it themselves that they were ordered to deliberately shoot unarmed Palestinians, many of them children.

01:24then maybe they should.

01:25And we would stop this madness and stop supporting the genocide in Gaza.
