   In the video obtained by Fox News Digital, the Michigan   
   representative is seen having a spirited conversation with a self-   
   described "concerned Jewish constituent."   
      
   "Separate but equal doesn't work, it didn't work with Blacks and   
   Whites in our country, it shouldn't work in Israel," Tlaib says at   
   the beginning of the clip. "Right?"   
      
   The person who took the video, who asked not to be publicly   
   identified, pressed the Squad member, asking, "So would that be a   
   right for Israel to exist?"   
      
   "Do they pay you guys?" Tlaib responded. "Do you work for   
   Netanyahu?"   
      
   The questioner informs the representative that she is an American   
   citizen, pressing Tlaib for an answer.   
      
   "Would you like to answer the question?" Tlaib is asked.   
   "Congresswoman, it's really concerning for me that you can't just   
   say that you believe Israel should exist."   
      
   At that point, Tlaib asks the interviewer if she understands what   
   "coexist" means.   
      
   "Oh, my God. Do you understand what that means?" the Congresswoman   
   asks. "To coexist."   
      
   "I absolutely do," the questioner replied.

   The representative continued, saying, "Why isn't that beautiful?   
   That should mean coexist. That means everyone should feel safe, no   
   matter who they are, or [what] their background is."   
      
   "So the Jews would have a state that they felt safe in?" the   
   questioner followed up.   
      
   "If it means my grandmother can't exist equally as a human being   
   then, no. Right?" Tlaib says, entering a crowded elevator.   
      
   "So coexist. Separate but equal doesn't work," she said as the   
   elevator doors closed.   
      
   Tlaib has faced backlash over her stance in the ongoing conflict   
   between Hamas and Israel, drawing condemnation not just from   
   Republicans but also from the White House.   
      
   White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre slammed the comments   
   of Tlaib and other progressive Democrats in Congress.   
      
   "I've seen some of those statements this weekend, and we're going to   
   continue to be very clear. We believe they're wrong, we believe   
   they're repugnant, and we believe they're disgraceful," Jean-Pierre   
   said when asked for the administration's reaction to comments made   
   by Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Rep.   
   Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. and Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo.   
      
   "Our condemnation belongs squarely with terrorists who have brutally   
   murdered, raped, kidnapped hundreds, hundreds of Israelis. There can   
   be no equivocation about that. There are not two sides here. There   
   are not two sides," she added.   
      
   In a statement on Oct. 8, a day after the surprise attack from Hamas   
   on Israel, Tlaib said, "I grieve the Palestinian and Israeli lives   
   lost yesterday, today, and every day. I am determined as ever to   
   fight for a just future where everyone can live in peace, without   
   fear and with true freedom, equal rights, and human dignity."   
      
   "The path to that future must include lifting the blockade, ending   
   the occupation, and dismantling the apartheid system that creates   
   the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to   
   resistance. The failure to recognize the violent reality of living   
   under siege, occupation, and apartheid makes no one safer. No   
   person, no child anywhere should have to suffer or live in fear of   
   violence. We cannot ignore the humanity in each other. As long as   
   our country provides billions in unconditional funding to support   
   the apartheid government, this heartbreaking cycle of violence will   
   continue," Tlaib said.   
      
   Tlaib also came under fire amid the Hamas terror attack in Israel   
   for flying a Palestinian flag outside her Capitol Hill office. The   
   flag has been there since at least January 2023, but observers were   
   outraged the flag remained following the recent carnage.   
      
   Multiple requests for comment to Tlaib's office went unreturned   
   Saturday.
