PNN – 9 members of the Democratic Party of the US House of Representatives voted against the resolution supporting the Zionist regime and condemning Hamas during the Gaza war.
According to the International group of Pakistan News Network, On Wednesday, 9 Democrats in the US House of Representatives voted against the resolution that supported the Zionist regime in the war against Hamas and condemned the activities of Hamas against this regime earlier this month.
According to the “Hill” report, yesterday, the US House of Representatives supported the Zionist regime against Hamas with the vote of 412 members, while 9 other members of the House condemned the actions of the Zionist regime against Hamas due to extensive airstrikes. They even asked the US government to stop its financial aid to this regime.
The names of these nine representatives who are staunch critics of the Zionist regime’s attacks on Gaza are as follows:
- Rashida Talib
Rashida Tlaib is a Democratic female representative from Michigan in the US House of Representatives, who is originally from Palestine and is considered a staunch critic of the Zionist regime. Earlier this year, he condemned the resolution of the US House of Representatives in support of this regime. In the course of his statements, he repeatedly called the Zionist regime apartheid and stated that the contrary claim about the Zionist regime means an attempt to deny the reality and normalize the violence caused by the apartheid regime by the pro-Tel Aviv representatives.
During this month, Tlaib once again attacked the actions of the Zionist regime in a statement, called it apartheid and asked America to stop supporting this regime. An issue that caused him to face negative reactions from other representatives. In part of his remarks criticizing the policies of the American government, he stated that as long as this country provides billions of dollars in unconditional funding to support the Zionist apartheid regime, this heartbreaking cycle of violence against the Palestinian people will continue.
- Cory Bush
Bush, as a Democratic representative of the US state of Montana, called for an end to US support for the Zionist regime earlier this month. He also led a coalition of progressive lawmakers who called on Joe Biden to push for an immediate ceasefire between Hamas and Israel.

She has said that his position against innocent civilians is completely fixed and he only supports a ceasefire that will allow water, food and fuel to reach Gaza.
- Delia Ramirez
Ramirez also said in a statement about his decision to vote against this resolution, the said resolution does not respect the provision of a solution between the two sides and the rights of the Palestinian people to fight for freedom and security. He has stated that we cannot support the collective punishment of the Palestinian people in Gaza by the Zionist regime without reason. This democratic American representative pointed to the lives of 2,000 Palestinian children who were affected by the attacks of the Zionist regime and thousands of displaced Palestinians and condemned this regime for obstructing the delivery of humanitarian aid to Palestinian civilians.
