'Squad' member Cori Bush accuses Israel of 'ethnic cleansing' in war against Hamas

"Squad" member Rep. Cory Bush, D-Mo., accused Israel of committing "ethnic cleansing" in its ongoing war against Hamas in Gaza on Sunday.

The divisive lawmaker claimed that "millions of people with nowhere to go" are "being slaughtered" in Gaza as Israel conducts its retaliatory campaign.

"We can’t be silent about Israel’s ethnic cleansing campaign," she wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. "Babies, dead. Pregnant women, dead. Elderly, dead. Generations of families, dead."

"Millions of people in Gaza with nowhere to go being slaughtered," she added. "The U.S. must stop funding these atrocities against Palestinians."

Her statement comes as the Israeli military is expanding its ground operations within Gaza, targeting rocket and ant-tank missile positions.
