 RESOLUTION

 Censuring Representative Rashida Tlaib for promoting and cheering on 
 terrorism and antisemitism at the People's Conference for Palestine.

Whereas Representative Rashida Tlaib cheered on one of the most radical and 
 antisemitic conferences in America--the People's Conference for 
 Palestine;
Whereas, at the People's Conference for Palestine, Aisha Nizar, a leader with 
 the Palestinian Youth Movement, urged the audience to undermine and 
 sabotage the United States military and defense readiness by disrupting 
 the F-35 supply chain logistics;
Whereas Aisha Nizar stated, ``70% of the cost of the F-35 program actually comes 
 from the supply chain. . . It functions off of this just-in-time 
 logistics process. . . If one specific node of the F-35 supply chain is 
 intervened in, it has a huge impact. . . We need to be surgical. We need 
 to be strategic. And we need to be bold in our actions. Because there 
 are many different points of these supply chains of death that we can 
 intervene in--and we must intervene in'';
Whereas the People's Conference for Palestine laid out a militant strategy to 
 not only attack weapons manufacturers but also target logistics 
 companies to undermine the United States military supply chains;
Whereas openly calling for attacks on the United States military constitutes 
 terrorism and a radical ideology that must be condemned;
Whereas, at the People's Conference for Palestine, Hani Al-Masri characterized 
 the October 7th Hamas terrorist attacks not as terrorism, but as a 
 ``natural reaction'' and part of a long historical arc;
Whereas Hani Al-Masri stated, ``In this context, October 7 came to complete what 
 they had not accomplished in 1948 and 1967. . . it was a natural 
 reaction to protect the people and the cause'';
Whereas Hani Al-Masri further stated, ``October 7 reminded me of the Paris 
 Commune, the revolution that erupted and was the beginning of the 
 European revolution and the change of Europe and the world. It is true 
 that the Commune did not succeed, but it was the beginning of change in 
 the whole world'';
Whereas, at the People's Conference for Palestine, speaker Nidal Jboor called 
 for the assassination of politicians in the United States, Israel, and 
 Europe who oppose a Palestinian state;
Whereas Nidal Jboor stated, ``We know who they are--whether in Israel, Tel Aviv, 
 Washington, or Europe. They must be locked up, taken out, neutralized to 
 save children and humanity'';
Whereas Omar Assaf, a terrorist affiliated with the Democratic Front for the 
 Liberation of Palestine, was given a platform to speak at the People's 
 Conference for Palestine;
Whereas the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine is designated as a 
 terrorist organization by some countries and has a decades-long record 
 of violence--including alleged participation in the October 7 attacks;
Whereas, at the People's Conference for Palestine, a panel purportedly focused 
 on health care highlighted Abu Nidal, who led the Abu Nidal Organization

    (ANO) , a splinter group from Fatah and one of the most violent 
 Palestinian terrorist outfits in history;
Whereas Thaer Ahmed stated, ``All of our names have really profound meanings and 
 a deep connection to Palestine. . . look up what Nidal means later'';
Whereas Abu Nidal ordered attacks in 20 countries, was responsible for over 300 
 deaths and 650 injuries, and orchestrated the 1985 Rome and Vienna 
 airport massacres, during which gunmen opened fire at El Al ticket 
 counters, killing 20 people;
Whereas, at the People's Conference for Palestine, Sachin Peddada--Research 
 Coordinator at the Progressive International and a Ph.D. student in 
 Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst--called the United 
 States ``evil'' and urged attendees to ``destroy the idea of America'';
Whereas Sachin Peddada stated, ``. . .the thing to do is to destroy the idea of 
 America in Americans' heads so that they can see the humanity of 
 everybody outside the warping of American exceptionalism and 
 imperialism'';
Whereas, at the People's Conference for Palestine, Omar Suleiman--founder of the 
 Yaqeen Institute, imam at Valley Ranch Islamic Center, and adjunct 
 professor at Southern Methodist University--praised the Holy Land 
 Foundation Five, men convicted in the U.S. of funneling millions of 
 dollars to Hamas under the cover of charity;
Whereas the Holy Land Foundation trial was the largest terrorism financing case 
 in United States history, with evidence showing that money was knowingly 
 routed to Hamas;
Whereas, at the People's Conference for Palestine, Houston-based PYM organizer 
 Mohammed Nabulsi called for targeting embassies;
Whereas Mohammed Nabulsi stated, ``It's empowering when we channel our campaigns 
 into tangible, strategic targets that have to respond to us. . . An 
 Egyptian gentleman in The Hague went up to the Egyptian embassy and 
 wrapped a little lock around the gates--and it exposed the complicity of 
 the Egyptian state. Did you see how the Egyptian state responded? Did 
 you see how it inspired everyone else to act?'';
Whereas, at the People's Conference for Palestine, Dalal Al-Mughrabi--a 
 terrorist who hijacked a bus and killed 38 civilians, 13 of them 
 children--was labeled a ``hero'';
Whereas Representative Rashida Tlaib attacked both Republicans and Democrats for 
 supporting America's ally, Israel, labeling them ``sellouts'' and 
 calling for unrest and violence in our streets;
Whereas Representative Rashida Tlaib stated, ``Change doesn't come from the 
 cowards and warmongers in Congress. It comes from the streets. It comes 
 from all of us mobilizing and seizing the power to resist and fight 
 back'';
Whereas Representative Rashida Tlaib is vilifying fellow politicians--blasting 
 supposed allies as ``sellouts,'' framing any support for Israel as soul-
 corrupting, and urging the crowd to stay militantly loyal to the most 
 uncompromising line;
Whereas Representative Rashida Tlaib has a history of promoting false, 
 antisemitic narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on 
 Israel and has called for the destruction of the State of Israel;
Whereas, on November 3, 2023, Representative Rashida Tlaib published on social 
 media a video containing the phrase ``from the river to the sea'', which 
 is widely recognized as a genocidal call to violence to destroy the 
 State of Israel and its people;
Whereas supporters of terrorism have no place in the United States Congress;
Whereas Representative Rashida Tlaib has repeatedly displayed conduct entirely 
 unbecoming of a Member of the House of Representatives by calling for 
 the destruction of the State of Israel and by dangerously promoting 
 terrorism and extremism while Israeli and American hostages remain in 
 terrorist captivity: Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That Representative Rashida Tlaib be censured.
