These three congresswomen have \u200bbeen vocal in their calls for\u200c a ceasefire and an end to what they perceive as the &#8220;occupation&#8221; of Israel.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Democratic Party\u2063 is led from the Left. It&#8217;s intimidated by the Left,&#8221; Gingrich asserted. &#8220;But you have nine or ten members&#8230; that are just totally pro-terrorist.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Unafraid to mince \u200cwords, Gingrich labeled these individuals as &#8220;pro-terrorist&#8221; and insisted that they should face censure from the House. He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/s-d-gov-noem-blames-government-policies-for-economic-damage-during-pandemic\/\" title=\"S.D. Gov. Noem blames government policies for economic damage during pandemic\">specifically pointed<\/a> to Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in Congress, who has faced criticism for \u200cher anti-Israel remarks. Tlaib had attributed the Al-Ahli Arab \u2064Hospital bombing in \u2064Gaza to the\u2064 Jewish \u200bstate, despite intelligence \u200dsuggesting\u200d it was caused by a Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket.<\/p>\n<p>Despite \u2063the evidence contradicting \u2062her claims, Tlaib\u2064 refused to retract her statements and \u2064even accused President Joe Biden and Israel of perpetrating \u2062a &#8220;genocide&#8221; during a pro-Palestine rally.<\/p>\n<p>Gingrich expressed his frustration, \u200dhoping that Tlaib would acknowledge the truth and condemn Islamic\u200c Jihad for their actions.\u2064 However, he doubted\u2064 that she would do so.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She will not condemn Islamic Jihad. None of\u200b them\u200d have\u2064 condemned\u2062 the killing of babies, none of \u200cthem have condemned the raping of \u2062women, none \u2064of them have condemned taking grandmothers hostage,&#8221; Gingrich passionately stated.<\/p>\n<p>The former speaker also criticized\u2062 Minority Leader Hakeem\u2062 Jeffries for\u200b claiming ignorance of the Squad members&#8217;\u200c posts, calling\u2064 it &#8220;plain baloney.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It is \u200bclear that\u2063 Gingrich&#8217;s strong opinions on this matter have sparked\u2063 a heated \u2064debate within the political sphere.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more from \u2063The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u200cWhat \u2063specific remarks made by\u2062 Representatives Ilhan Omar\u200c and Rashida\u2062 Tlaib does Gingrich believe \u200bwarrant\u2062 censure?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  T \u200cbetween Israel and Palestine. Gingrich specifically targeted\u200b Representatives\u200d Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib \u200bfor their statements, claiming that their rhetoric crossed\u200b the line \u2063of acceptable discourse.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Squad,&#8221; consisting of progressive \u2062Democratic congresswomen\u2063 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida \u200bTlaib, has been a\u200c lightning rod for \u200ccontroversy \u2064since its inception. Known for their outspoken and often\u200d controversial views, the group has faced criticism from both Democrats and \u2064Republicans alike. However, Gingrich&#8217;s call for \u2063censure goes beyond mere disagreement and enters the realm of formal \u200dreprimand.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2062 ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine has ignited passions across the globe, with individuals\u200b on all sides expressing their views and\u200b opinions. However, Gingrich argues \u200dthat there is a fine\u200d line between \u2063legitimate criticism and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/big-tech-censorship-left-wing-violence-in-national-spotlight\/\" title=\"Big Tech censorship, left-wing violence in national spotlight\">inflammatory rhetoric<\/a>\u200b that can lead to further divisions and hostilities. He believes that certain\u2063 comments made by members of \u2063the &#8220;Squad&#8221; have crossed this line and warrant censure.<\/p>\n<p>Representative Ilhan \u200bOmar has previously faced \u2062backlash for her\u2064 remarks\u200c concerning Israel and its influence in American \u200bpolitics. \u2062She has been accused of using anti-Semitic tropes, including suggesting that politicians \u200cwho support Israel hold dual loyalty. Similarly, Representative \u200dRashida Tlaib has been criticized for her support of the Boycott, \u200cDivestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against \u200cIsrael and statements deemed \u200banti-Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Gingrich argues that while \u2062criticism of Israeli policies \u2062is valid \u2063and should be \u200bprotected \u200bunder freedom of speech,\u200d certain comments \u200cmade by members of the &#8220;Squad&#8221; go beyond \u2063legitimate discourse and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/costumes-can-elicit-trauma-michigan-state-university-warns-students-about-halloween\/\" title=\"\u2018Costumes Can Elicit Trauma\u2019: Michigan State University Warns Students About Halloween\">perpetuate harmful stereotypes<\/a>. He maintains that censuring these individuals is\u2063 essential to\u200c uphold the standards of civility and respect within\u2062 the\u200b democratic process.<\/p>\n<p>Censure is a formal reprimand\u2063 that can be issued by either the House or\u200c the Senate to \u200bexpress \u200bdisapproval or disgust towards\u2062 a member&#8217;s conduct or statements. It would require \u2062a majority vote in the House of Representatives, where Democrats currently hold a slim majority. \u2062However, Gingrich hopes\u2064 that even if his call for censure does not result in immediate action, it will at least \u2062draw attention to the \u2063problematic \u200drhetoric being \u2063employed by certain members of the &#8220;Squad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In \u200cexpressing his concerns, Gingrich\u200d cites the potential \u2063consequences of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/aoc-blames-rubio-for-surge-in-migrants-dodges-whether-she-and-biden-will-go-to-border\/\" title=\"AOC accuses Rubio of migrant surge, avoids answering if she and Biden will visit border.\">inflammatory\u200b rhetoric<\/a>\u200b that \u2062can undermine \u2064diplomacy and perpetuate \u200ddivision. He emphasizes the need for elected officials to\u2063 uphold a\u200c higher standard \u2063of discourse and responsibility, especially when discussing sensitive international issues.<\/p>\n<p>While his\u200b call for censure may\u2062 be \u2063met with opposition from Democrats who support these \u2063members of the\u2063 &#8220;Squad,&#8221; Gingrich&#8217;s arguments should not be \u200ddismissed outright. The ongoing\u200c conflict between Israel and Palestine requires\u2062 careful analysis and\u2064 discussion \u200bthat is respectful and conducive to fostering peace.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich&#8217;s call for censure of certain members of\u2062 the &#8220;Squad&#8221; underscores the \u200bneed\u2063 for \u2064responsible\u2062 and respectful discourse when\u2063 discussing sensitive international \u2062issues. While criticism of Israeli policies is valid, Gingrich \u2062argues that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/israel-war-newt-gingrich-calls-for-censure-of-squad-democrats-in-the-house\/\" title=\"Gingrich urges censure of 'Squad' Dems over Israel war.\">inflammatory \u200crhetoric perpetuates harmful stereotypes<\/a> \u2062and divides. Whether or not his call \u200cfor censure gains traction, \u2063it serves\u200b as a reminder that elected officials have a duty to engage in constructive dialogue that promotes understanding\u2063 and peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newt Gingrich, ex-GOP House Speaker, suggests censuring certain &#8220;Squad&#8221; Democrats over their remarks on the Hamas-Israel conflict.
