Greene issues scathing rebuke of conditions in Gaza: 'I will not be silent about it'

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) on Saturday upped her crusade against conditions in the Gaza Strip following a declaration of famine in the region by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification.

“U.S. taxpayers fund Israel $3.8 billion annually for military aid. That means every U.S. tax payer is contributing to Israel’s military actions,” Greene wrote in a Saturday post on X.

“I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to pay for genocide in a foreign country against a foreign people for a foreign war that I had nothing to do with. And I will not be silent about it,” she added.

The Georgia Republican lawmaker has urged her colleagues to raise their voices on the topic and urge the Trump administration to shift its stance on repeated strikes on Palestinians in the region. 

Several world leaders have spoken out against the Israeli government’s actions and said they would take the necessary steps to recognize Palestine as a sovereign state. 

However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has slammed their decisions and maintains that the government’s object is to eliminate Hamas, the terrorist group that attacked Israel during an Oct. 7, 2023, music festival.

“The innocent people in Gaza did not kill and kidnap the innocent people in Israel on Oct 7th,” Greene wrote on Saturday.

“Just as we spoke out and had compassion for the victims and families of Oct7, how can Americans not speak out and have compassion for the masses of innocent people and children in Gaza? Is one type of innocent life worthy and another type of innocent life worth nothing?” she asked.

She told her followers, “God sees all innocent lives the same” after slamming the State Department for halting the approval of Gazans’ U.S. visitor visas for groups seeking medical treatment. 

Some conservatives have shared objections to her statements.

“Why are you advocating for GAZANS to come to the US? How is Islamic immigration ‘America First’?” Laura Loomer wrote Saturday on X.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) weighed in on Greene’s statements in May, brushing aside the genocidal narrative.

“I [honestly] don’t care what crazy pants thinks,” Fetterman replied. “And why is that news and her views on that right now?” 

“It’s not a genocide, you know, that’s just not the case. And she’s entitled to her opinion, but I’m entitled to not really care what her views on that is,” he added later.
