‘The View’ host Joy Behar appears to criticize Rashida Tlaib from the Squad.
‘The View’ Host Joy Behar Seems to Turn on Squad Member Rashida Tlaib
The refusal of Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan to condemn Hamas for deliberately killing children during its attack on Israel grated harshly with the hosts of “The View” on Wednesday.
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin set the stage by denouncing Tlaib’s refusal to speak out.
“I hope that members of the squad tuned in because yesterday, congresswoman Rashida Tlaib was asked to condemn the butchering of children. She refused to answer the question. She refused to condemn it,” she said after praising President Joe Biden’s brief comments Tuesday.
“Obnoxious,” co-host Joy Behar interjected.

“And also, there were other members of the squad who said we need to end all aid to Israel at this critical moment,” Griffin said, according to a clip from the show posted on X.
“Tell them what you mean when you say ‘the squad’ because not everybody follows it,” Behar said.
“‘The squad’ is the very progressive left flank within the House Democratic conference,” Griffin explained.
“She was asked by a reporter to condemn the butchering of children by Hamas terrorists, and she refused to answer or comment at all,” Griffin said later.
On Wednesday, Tlaib finally addressed the issue.
“I do not support the targeting and killing of civilians, whether in Israel or Palestine,” Tlaib said, according to the Michigan Advance.
“The fact that some have suggested otherwise is offensive and rooted in bigoted assumptions about my faith and ethnicity,” she said.
Tlaib on Sunday also did not condemn Hamas.
“I grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today, and every day,” Tlaib said, calling for “lifting the blockade, ending the occupation and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance.”
She called for an end to aid to Israel, adding, “As long as our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support the apartheid government, this heartbreaking cycle of violence will continue.”
“All of a sudden the things I cared about the day before changed very quickly and gave me a harsh perspective,” Sara Haines reflects.

On “The View” on Wednesday, co-host Sara Haines chimed in to note how the world changed in the aftermath of the attacks.
“The perspective alone when you’re watching the news and you’re seeing this, all of a sudden the things I cared about the day before changed very quickly, and it gave me a harsh perspective,” she said in a clip posted on X.
“The hard part here is, there’s no version of a two-state solution right now in this area due to the fact that Hamas, who rules and was elected in Palestine, has said in their charter that ‘peace talks are an exercise in futility, and we will not stop until we destroy Israel.’ So, when one side is saying that, you must retaliate, and sadly I have to say it is — anyone with a heart will hurt seeing anyone killed, in Palestine, in Israel, these are innocent civilians, it is awful — but there is no answer that won’t result in military attack and loss when you’ve pillaged communities. You have raped women and dragged them through the street naked,” she said.
“Beheaded babies,” Behar interjected.
“They’ve killed grandmas on Facebook and broadcast it. They have butchered people. Sadly, that will — life will be lost, but it has to be done to stop terrorists,” Haines said.
Ana Navarro goes off on those telling Israel to “have restraint.”
“You cannot call on Israel to have restraint when 1200, at least, of their citizens have been slaughtered in the savage inhumane cruel medieval way that they have been killed.” pic.twitter.com/8LOdk9iHEF— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) October 11, 2023
Co-host Ana Navarro said what the world not telling Israel to “have restraint” is significant, according to a video clip posted on X.
“There’s been many attacks on Israel before. There’s been many issues in that region before, and always the response from around the world has been to Israel, ‘have restraint,’” she said.
“Yesterday, nobody was telling Israel to have restraint because you cannot call on Israel to have restraint when 1,200, at least, of their citizens have been slaughtered in the savage, inhumane, cruel, medieval way that they have been killed,” she said.

Why did co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin criticize Tlaib for her silence on the issue of condemning violence?
The recent conflict between Israel and Hamas has sparked a heated debate among politicians and media figures, including the hosts of the popular talk show “The View”. On a recent episode of the show, co-host Joy Behar expressed her disappointment with Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s refusal to condemn Hamas for deliberately killing children during the conflict.
Behar’s frustration was shared by co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who called out Tlaib for her silence on the issue. Griffin praised President Joe Biden’s brief comments condemning the violence, but criticized Tlaib for failing to do the same. She described Tlaib’s refusal to condemn the killing of children as “obnoxious”.
In response, Behar interjected with a simple word: “obnoxious”. Her comment highlighted the disconnect between Tlaib’s position and the views of her fellow Democrats. It also underscored the frustration felt by many who believe that Tlaib and other members of the “squad” have gone too far in their criticism of Israel.
Griffin further explained that other members of the ”squad” had also called for an end to aid to Israel during the conflict. Behar, seemingly unaware of the term “the squad”, asked for clarification. Griffin explained that “the squad” refers to the progressive left flank within the House Democratic conference.
Griffin later reiterated that Tlaib had been asked by a reporter to condemn the killing of children by Hamas terrorists, but had refused to answer or comment on the issue. Tlaib’s refusal to address the issue had drawn criticism from both Republicans and Democrats alike.
Finally, Tlaib addressed the issue, stating that she does not support the targeting and killing of civilians, whether in Israel or Palestine. She also condemned the suggestion that she did support such actions, calling it offensive and rooted in bigoted assumptions about her faith and ethnicity.
However, Tlaib’s previous statements, in which she did not condemn Hamas and called for an end to aid to Israel, have raised concerns among those who believe that her stance is biased against Israel. They argue that her calls for an end to aid to Israel and her criticism of Israeli policies contribute to the perpetuation of violence and hinder the prospects for peace.
The conflict between Israel and Hamas is a complex issue that elicits strong emotions and opinions. It is important for public figures, including members of Congress, to carefully consider their words and actions in order to promote understanding and dialogue. As the debate continues, it is crucial that different perspectives are heard and that efforts are made to find a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict.
