Rep. Hillary Scholten voted to prevent the US Government from citing the Israeli perpetrated death toll in Gaza

June 28, 2024

Yesterday saw a new low in the US propaganda war to deny what Israel is doing to the Palestinians.

Sixty two Democrats joined the Republicans in adopting Rep. Jared Moskowitz’s (D-Fla.) amendment to H.R. 8771, which bans State Department officials from using agency funds to cite any statistics from the Gaza Health Ministry. The Health Ministry’s figures are the only official death counts coming out of Gaza.

Rep. Hillary Scholten, who has made several posts about playing in a softball game for charity on her Facebook page in recent days, didn’t bother to share with her the people she claims to represent, that she voted with the Republicans to ban the State Department from citing the Gaza Health Ministry on official death counts coming out of Gaza.

I have been documenting Rep. Scholten’s complicity in the role that the US Government has played in the Israeli genocide against the Palestinians, beginning with her vote to deny that Israel is an Apartheid state, her AIPAC-paid trip to Israel in 2023, and her unconditional support for Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza.

Yesterday’s vote is just the latest demonstration of how complicit Rep. Scholten is on the matter of Israeli War Crimes, denying that it is even happening.
