U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib urged the International Criminal Court to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior leaders in the country for genocide.
'Squad' member Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., called for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior officials in Israel for what she called violations of the Genocide Convention under international law. In a press release on Tuesday, Tlaib called out the government of Israel for its ground invasion of Rafah, linking the U.S. to the attack because of funding it provided.

To be clear, there is no moral equivalence between Hamas's terrorism and Israel's justified response.
