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

(The Hill) Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) intensified her efforts against the situation in Gaza on Saturday, following a famine declaration in the area by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification.

“U.S. taxpayers contribute $3.8 billion annually to Israel for military aid. This means every American taxpayer supports Israel’s military activities,” Greene stated in a Saturday post on X.

“I don’t know about you, but I’m not interested in financing a genocide abroad involving foreign conflicts that don’t concern me. I refuse to stay silent about it,” she continued.

The Georgia Republican has been encouraging her fellow lawmakers to speak up and influence the Trump administration to alter its stance on the ongoing strikes against Palestinians in the region.

Several global leaders have condemned the actions of the Israeli government and announced their intentions to acknowledge Palestine as an independent nation.

However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has criticized these actions, asserting that the government’s goal is to dismantle Hamas, the terrorist organization responsible for attacking Israel during an October 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.
