[quote]Progressive "Squad" member Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., doubled down with her plans to host an anti-Israel event after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy canceled it, vowing that Palestinian Americans "will not be silenced."

Tlaib said Wednesday that she would defy McCarthy and move forward with plans to host an event recognizing the "Nakba," a Palestinian term for the 1948 founding of Israel that translates to "catastrophe." She moved the event to a Senate hearing room and later declared, "Let the headlines read ‘McCarthy tries to erase Palestine but fails.’"

The speaker had condemned her plans as "antisemitic" and preempted her by reserving the same event space on the House side of the Capitol for a bipartisan commemoration of Israel's 75th anniversary, which lands on May 14.

This event at the U.S. Capitol is canceled," McCarthy tweeted late Tuesday. "Instead, I will host a bipartisan discussion to honor the 75th anniversary of the U.S.-Israel relationship."[/quote]
