Tlaib: What about Israel?

Of course what Hamas did was despicable. And Israel has a right to defend itself. But what it is doing and planning on doing in Gaza is also despicable. Tlaib rightly said:

"We must also oppose an Israeli military response that has already taken the lives of hundreds of Palestinians, including nearly two dozen children." [...] Gaza is "under blockade in what Israel's own former intelligence chief has called an open air prison. The overwhelming majority live in poverty. Many suffer lifelong psychological and physical trauma." [...] The solution is "a negotiated peace—with Israelis and Palestinians enjoying equal rights and security guarantees." 

It is nothing other than legitimate criticism. In our rush to support Israel the US cannot turn a blind eye to what they are also doing and that definitely is the case.
