"Squad" member Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., sparked backlash online with a tweet claiming Israel is dehumanizing Palestinians by withholding the body of a Ph.D. student who was reportedly killed while attacking Israeli Defense Force (IDF) soldiers.
On Saturday, Tlaib shared a picture of Ph.D. student Mai Afana's mother in an emotional Twitter thread in which the congresswoman said the Israeli government "killed" Afana and would not return her body to her family.
Tlaib said the Israeli government was making claims "without proof" in an effort to "continue to dehumanize Palestinians even after they have died."
Afana was reportedly killed in June after ramming her car into an Israeli checkpoint along the West Bank, exiting her car and charging IDF soldiers with a knife, injuring one of the soldiers.
According to reports, Israel withholds bodies to negotiate the return of Israeli bodies or captives that are being held by Hamas.
The Michigan congresswoman was lit up online over the post, with journalist Jerry Dunleavy pointing out that Tlaib left out key information about Afana's death.
