In \u200ba statement filled with fiery rhetoric, Greene labeled Tlaib \u2062a &#8220;terrorist sympathizer&#8221; and called for Congress to censure her.<\/p>\n<p>Greene&#8217;s \u200ccomments were in response to Tlaib&#8217;s participation in a protest at the Capitol Hill organized by the radical Global Intifada group and \u2064anti-Israel activists from the organization Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP). Greene accused Tlaib of organizing the occupation of the Cannon office building, following &#8220;Hezbollah&#8217;s orders for a &#8216;day of unprecedented \u200canger.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Taking her critique a step \u2064further, Greene\u200d announced her intention to \u2062introduce a censure resolution against \u200dTlaib.

Censure is \u200da \u2064formal reprimand by a \u200clegislative body for misconduct or inappropriate behavior. If \u2062successful, it\u200d would serve as a public condemnation of Tlaib&#8217;s actions.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, censure resolutions have become more common in Congress \u2064as a means to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-speaker-vote-expected-tuesday-as-jordan-lobbies-gop-holdouts\/\" title=\"House speaker vote set for Tuesday as Jordan works to sway GOP holdouts.\">hold members accountable<\/a> for\u2064 their actions or statements. \u200dHowever, passing such a resolution requires a majority\u200d vote\u2062 in the House of Representatives, where Democrats currently hold the majority.<\/p>\n<p>This clash between Greene and Tlaib is part of a broader debate about\u2063 US foreign policy towards Israel and the Palestinian territories.
