KILLING OF HIND RAJAB AND HER FAMILY
(Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, there is audio from January 29 of 6-year-
old Palestinian girl, Hind, as she was calling the paramedics, begging
them to come rescue her after the rest of her family in the car had
already been killed by the Israeli military. She kept begging: ``Come
get me. Please come get me. I am so scared. Please come.''
No one was able to reach the car for 12 days, when her decomposing
body was found alongside the bodies of five of her family members.
The bodies of two Palestine Red Crescent Society workers, missing
since the day of her call when they were dispatched to rescue her, were
discovered in an ambulance just feet away.
Madam Speaker, I am here to talk about it because a new forensic
analysis found that the Israeli military fired not one, not two, not a
dozen, not 20, but 355 tank bullets at the car that Hind was in, and
the tank was so close that the Israeli soldiers would have had a clear
view of Hind in the car.
Six months later, the State Department and President Biden has yet to
hold the Israeli Government accountable for these executions.
Madam Speaker, I include in the Record a link to the forensic report:
