South Africa is accusing Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice.

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has consistently been critical of Israel’s policies toward Palestinians. She says Israel’s actions in Gaza have gone above and beyond defending itself from Hamas.

“There is simply time to save lives to stop the Israeli government from carrying out the genocide in Gaza. And the Biden administration are complicit in this genocide. Congress must stop funding the genocide of the Palestinian people with our American tax dollars.”

More than 23-thousand civilians in Gaza are dead and the United Nations warns that much of the area is now uninhabitable. The U-S State Department says allegations of genocide against Israel are "unfounded."
