LONDON: Marjorie Taylor Greene, the US congresswoman from Georgia, has enraged fellow Republicans by condemning Israel and urging support for Gaza on social media.
She has described Israel’s war in the Palestinian enclave as “genocide,” and took to X to condemn the country’s “day and night” bombing of civilians.
“This is what is happening to Gaza where in spite of what we have all been told, many innocent people and children are being killed and they are not Hamas,” Greene posted.
“Does Hamas deserve it? Yes. Do innocent people and children deserve it? No,” she said. “The innocent people in Gaza did not kill and kidnap the innocent people in Israel on Oct 7th. Just as we spoke out and had compassion for the victims and families of (Oct. 7), how can Americans not speak out and have compassion for the masses of innocent people and children in Gaza?”
Israel maintains significant cross-party support with senior politicians in the US, particularly Republicans.
