Greene Renews 'Genocide' Charge Against Israel, Says U.S. Taxpayers Are Funding It

The post sharpens a Republican rift over continued U.S. military aid.

Chair of the Subcommittee on Delivering On Government Efficiency (DOGE) U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-SC) presides over a hearing of the House Oversight Subcommittee in the U.S. Capitol on February 26, 2025 in Washington, DC. The subcommittee held the hearing to hear from witnesses on U.S. foreign aid.

Overview

  • On Saturday, the Georgia congresswoman posted a lengthy message on X urging compassion for Gazans and repeating her assertion that Israel is carrying out genocide.
  • She argued that the $3.8 billion in annual U.S. military aid makes taxpayers contributors to Israel’s actions and said she will not be silent about it.
  • Pro‑Israel activist Laura Loomer responded within minutes by challenging Greene over the prospect of Gazans entering the United States, extending their public feud.
  • Greene’s position departs from GOP leadership; she first used the genocide label in July and has urged colleagues and the Trump administration to reconsider support for Israeli military operations.
  • Her renewed plea comes after a famine declaration for Gaza by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification and as debate continues over a State Department pause on Gazan visitor visas.
