Children in the US are going to bed hungry. People here can’t get medical care.

She should go over there and put her genius on display.

“ Don’t pick a fight with a bear and cry when he doesn’t want to stop the fight” It is always the innocent that pays, hold those who started the fight accountable.

[TomBleecker]

Where do you think that you, as a member of our congress, have the right to DEMAND that foreign leaders do anything? If you want to meddle in the decisions of the Israeli leaders, move there.

[jackietate]

Rashida: We demand a ceasefire

Hamas: No.

[randyludwig]

Hamas had a Ceasefire and just like October 7th they broke it and said they will attack over and over again! Rashida Tlaib I have an idea why don't you move to Gaza and build a home on the border and tell us how that

[glowgirl]

Stop saying "y'all". Fly the American flag and work for Americans.

I guarantee she wouldn't be calling for a ceasefire if her side was winning

[stevelastname]

Demanding a Palestinian/Israeli ceasefire in Michigan is as pointless as demanding a Big Mac at Pizza Hut.

Rule #1. If you HATE America~you shouldn't be allowed in Congress. Or in America

[rolandthethompsongunner]

So fed up with these people. If you want a ceasefire talk to HAMAS. The ones who broke the last ceasefire.

[hikingviking]

Of course the majority of humans support a ceasefire but Hamas does not. Doesn’t she understand that?

[carly]

Cori can you point Rafa on the map ????

[jjames]

Wait?? What she was screaming from the river to the sea... now she want's peace all of a sudden XD

[ELB]

Maybe she needs to go to her chosen country, palestine.

[danielread]

AMAZING THAT THIS IS A REPRESENTATIVE OF OUR CONGRESS IN THIS COUNTRY. OUR COUNTRY IS IN TROUBLE FOLKS IF THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE IN OUR GOVERNMENT. JUST MY OPINION.

[jimdoe]

How do you demand peace when you supported defunding the police ? 😂

[nicodebonea]

If only she cares about Americans this much

[marvinellis]

You gonna get that ceasefire all right. IDF has almost finished the Gaza campaign. Don't start what ya can't finish.

[zubversivezigotto]

Hamas rejected the ceasefire, end of discussion.
