On November 7, 2023, the House voted to censure Tlaib, accusing her of promoting false narratives about the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and calling for Israel’s destruction. This action stemmed from an X post where she shared a video featuring the chant “from the river to the sea,” which some viewed as antisemitic, while she argued it promoted peaceful coexistence. While censures are rare, it’s noteworthy that 22 Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure, showing bipartisan concern over her rhetoric amid the Israel-Hamas conflict.

• House Resolution 845 - November 7, 2023 - Vote 234 For, 188 Against - Censure reason: Comments on Israel-Hamas war, use of "from the river to the sea" phrase.
