Salzman clarifies that her comment targeted Hamas, not the Palestinian people, but apologizes amid controversy
Since the beginning of recent Israel-Hamas conflict US has been largely divided into pro and anti-Palestine sentiments including the political circle. In a shocking turn of events during a special session called by Governor Ron DeSantis in response to the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, Florida Representative Michelle Salzman from Pensacola is now receiving death threats for comments made during a House floor debate.
The controversy erupted as Representative Angie Nixon, a Democrat from Jacksonville, was delivering closing arguments on a resolution calling for a ceasefire in the conflict between « Israel and occupied Palestine. » The resolution, sponsored by Nixon, faced strong opposition, leading to its failure in a 104 to 2 vote.
During the debate, Nixon stated, « We are at 10,000 dead Palestinians.
