Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), a progressive member of the anti-Israel “squad” in Congress, accused Israel of carrying out “ethnic cleansing” in Lebanon and said there should be a total U.S. arms embargo on the Jewish state.

“As we approach the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, thousands of our families with strong ties to Lebanon are struggling right now,” she stated. “This year’s Eid feels different for us. I know many have lost loved ones, watched their grandparents’ homes be bombed and seen relatives uprooted from their neighborhoods.”

The statement came just days after a gunman rammed a truck into a Michigan synagogue with a school and shot at security guards, and after the New York Times and others were criticized for appearing to justify the attacks by explaining that the attacker lost relatives in strikes in Lebanon. It later emerged that those relatives were members of the Hezbollah terror organization.
