Squad Among Those Voting Against Resolution to Condemn Hamas Terror Attack

It's like October 7 never happened. Hamas terrorists invaded Israel and killed more than a thousand innocent women and children. The UN's secretary general said that such a thing doesn't happen in a vacuum, so obviously Israel contributed to it and brought it on itself.

Rep. Michael McCaul sponsored a House Resolution Wednesday that would condemn the attack by Hamas, and ten members of Congress voted against it. Not shockingly, those included Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Jamaal Bowman, and Cori Bush. Squad member Ayanna Pressley voted "present," as did Pramila Jayapal.

JUST IN: 10 members of the House refused to condemn Hamas' terror attacks on Israel.

"This resolution sends a clear and unequivocal message that the United States House of Representatives and the American people condemn the barbarity of the genocide and war crimes perpetrated by Hamas."

Michael McCaul, Republican congressman from Texas, was the sponsor of H.R. 771.

The resolution passed overwhelmingly 412-10. Here are the nay and present votes.

Nay votes (10):

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY)

Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO)

Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN)

Rep. Al Green (D-TX)

Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA)

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY)

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)

Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL)

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI)

Present votes (6):

Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX)

Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX)

Rep. Chuy Garcia (D-IL)

Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA)

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA)

Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-NY)

So they can't denounce Hamas springing a surprise attack on a music festival.

Thomas Massie explains his no vote:

I condemn the barbaric attack on Israel and I affirm Israel’s right to defend itself.

However, I will not be voting for House Resolution 771 today because:

1) It calls for sanctions on a sovereign country. Sanctions are a prelude to war and hurt the citizens of the country more than the government of the country that’s being sanctioned. And ultimately, sanctions create laws that will be used to prosecute American citizens (who engage in trade), not citizens of the sanctioned  country. In short, sanctions do not achieve their stated purposes but do breed resentment of our country abroad.

2) It asserts the necessity of foreign aid commitments which I have voted against. Our country is going bankrupt and we can’t afford to borrow money to send overseas, yet this resolution states that we should.

3) It contains an open-ended promise of military support that is so broad that it could be interpreted to commit US soldiers to the conflict. US troops should not be engaged in this conflict.

4) It tends to broaden the conflict to other countries when it would be better to keep the war contained geographically.

Here’s a link to the text of the resolution, which contains some statements I do support and some statements I cannot support.

We still think he should have voted yes.

To be fair, most Democrats voted for the resolution, but those who didn't are so obvious. Do they even mind being called the Hamas Caucus or the Jihad Squad? It's probably a point of pride for them.
