Bill 118 H.Res. 807 is a resolution introduced in the US Congress that seeks to censure Representative Rashida Tlaib for alleged antisemitic activity, sympathizing with terrorist organizations, and leading an insurrection at the United States Capitol Complex. The resolution accuses Tlaib of making statements and taking actions that are deemed to be anti-Semitic and supportive of terrorist groups. It also alleges that she played a role in inciting the violent insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

The resolution calls for Tlaib to be formally censured by the House of Representatives, which is a rare and serious disciplinary action that can be taken against a member of Congress. Censure is a formal reprimand that is issued by the House of Representatives to express disapproval of a member's conduct.

Supporters of the resolution argue that Tlaib's actions and statements have crossed a line and are not befitting of a member of Congress. They believe that censuring her is necessary to uphold the integrity and reputation of the House of Representatives. Critics of the resolution, on the other hand, argue that it is politically motivated and an attempt to silence Tlaib's criticism of Israel and her advocacy for Palestinian rights. They believe that censuring her would be a violation of her right to free speech and an attempt to suppress dissenting voices in Congress. Overall, Bill 118 H.Res. 807 is a controversial resolution that has sparked debate and division among members of Congress and the public. The outcome of the resolution remains uncertain as it continues to be debated and discussed in the House of Representatives.
