Rep. Rashida Tlaib Criticized for Thanksgiving Post Linking U.S. and Israeli Actions Against Indigenous Groups

The congresswoman's remarks drew backlash for comparing historical treatment of Native Americans to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib shared a Thanksgiving post mourning Indigenous people killed by settlers, drawing parallels to Palestinians' struggle in Israel.
The Instagram post, credited to a pro-Palestinian organization, expressed solidarity with Indigenous groups 'from here to Palestine.'
Tlaib, a frequent critic of Israel, was censured by the House in 2023 for comments following the October 7 terrorist attacks.
The congresswoman has also criticized the Biden administration's handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict and withheld endorsement of Kamala Harris in 2024.
Her remarks were part of broader Thanksgiving commentary, with other figures highlighting issues such as immigration and Indigenous rights.
