Democratic member of “the Squad,” Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., unleashed on the United States and pro-Israel politicians in a fiery, expletive-filled speech at the “People’s Conference for Palestine” in Detroit on Sunday.

Tlaib, who is the first person of Palestinian descent to be elected to Congress, railed against Israeli leaders and supporters of Israel, shouting, “I want to say to all of them, every genocide enabler, look at this room motherf—ers, we ain’t going anywhere.”  

“They thought they could rape us, kill us, violently uproot us from our olive tree farms, starve our children to death, and we would disappear. Well, guess what, now we’re in Congress, and we’re in every corner of the United States,” she said, adding, “We are just getting started.”

Tlaib also drilled into the United States as an “empire in Washington, D.C.,” saying, “the political structures that I have to work in, that we all are surrounded by, was built on slavery and genocide and rape and oppression.”

Taking aim at the Trump administration, Tlaib claimed that “what’s been tested on the killing fields of Gaza is already being deployed right here in the streets of America.”

“What our government is willing to do to Palestinians, they are willing to do to all of you,” she asserted. “It is no surprise to me, as the daughter of Detroit, that I see our government, that has supplied the bombs and excuses Israel from destroying literally every single day hospitals, communities in Gaza, and manufacturing mass starvation, is also the same government that’s defunding healthcare and food assistance programs here in our country.”

“Gaza is the compass in this country,” said Tlaib.

Tlaib previously came under bipartisan criticism after sharing a video on social media that included the phrase “From the river to the sea,” a pro-Palestinian liberation slogan.
