“Walls are destructive, not productive.”
Yet this one was not destructive. It saved the lives of Israelis. Who could object? Rashida Tlaib.
“Rashida Tlaib criticized the wall that stopped suicide bombings,” by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, August 21, 2019:
PA terror leaders complain about Israel’s security wall, specifically because it stopped Palestinian suicide terror. Yesterday Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib complained about that very same security wall even though it saved countless lives. Although Tlaib did not say that she supports Palestinian suicide terror, the American Congresswoman should be aware that she is criticizing a lifesaving structure that only exists to stop terror.
Israel decided to build the wall in 2002 in response to Palestinian suicide terror that had murdered hundreds of civilians. In 2001, Palestinian terrorists committed 31 suicide bombings. In 2002 there had been 35 suicide bombings prior to Israel’s decision to build the security wall on June 24, 2002. In June alone there had already been 4 suicide terror attacks, two in Jerusalem, one in Herzlia and one in Megido, in which 44 Israelis were murdered.
This was Tlaib’s complaint about the wall:
“The [Congressional] delegation would have seen firsthand. Yeah, why walls are destructive, not productive. They could’ve asked the people in Bethlehem how walls cut people off away from economic opportunities, from a way to live and do psychological damage that lasts forever.”
This was Islamic Jihad’s complaint about the wall – it prevents suicide terror.
Ramadan Shalah, Head of Palestinian Islamic Jihad:
“The Martyrdom-seeking [suicide] operations as a strategic option invented by the Palestinians, is an option which exists, we haven’t abandoned it. However, the timing of [suicide terror] operations, and the ability to execute those operations, are issues for the field [commanders]. For example, in the West Bank, there’s the separation wall, which is an obstacle for the resistance [terror]. If it did not exist, the situation would be completely different.”[Al-Manar TV (Hezbollah) Nov. 11, 2006]…

Well…. naturally the tribal tlaib would be against a wall the keeps her tribe from maiming and killing. Those who don’t oppose terror are for it. It’s got to be a testing reality for American citizens (by which I mean all who +don’t+ subscribe to terror) to have an individual like tlaib representing them.
It’s the strangest thing…
How can this have come to pass ?
Thank you Robert…
Thinking of you.

In this day and age, walls can be very ‘productive’ – productive in the sense that they help produce security, peace of mind, etc as the ‘product’
That Congresswoman of yours, Tlaib, is a little more than half a bubble off plumb.
CRUSADER says
Tlaib seems to be a broken record, skskskiskipping over and over again
on the same theme. Quite a one-hit theme she plays.
Meanwhile her All-America, MotorCity-based, BMW- and Benz-driving
fam-damn-ily probably has walls surrounding their garages to keep out riffraff. *
(*note, of course — what else? — that “riffraff” — meaning stupid, disreputable persons, lowliest pack of thuggish rabble — originates from the verbs rifler, to spoil or strip, and raffler, to carry off booty … coming from ruffian Riffians, known as Riyafa or Rwafa, are a Berber-speaking people of Northwestern Africa, who derive their name from the Riff region in Morocco. Their native settlements were Arabized and Islamized after the 7th-century, during the early expansion of Islam. They are overwhelmingly maraboutic Sunni Muslims.)
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
First it was the “moderate” globo-socialist Nancy who found that walls don’t work. Now another woman, Rashida, who tells that walls not only don’t work but they’re destructive.
The functional requirement for a wall that works is that it be at least 30 ft high, which if you fall you get a leg fracture. That gives deterrence.
Liberals (who are illiberal) and progressives (who are actually regressive) tearfully ask us to build bridges instead of walls. Well, fine. We’ll do that when people on the other side stop with their aggressive and illegal behavior.
mgoldberg says
Islam might well be characterized as the builder of the biggest walls of any religion. To whit: them versus everyone else.
It would be instructive to note that ‘walls’ define and defy people, nations, and any groups to recognize distinctions- very necessary ones indeed. Lines, that protect lives, protect peoples, protect nations. Nations have borders and walls, and protect themselves because they have a right to exist as separate nations, cultures peoples. For such as Tlaib to mouth her platitudes about walls only shows how little concern she has for not only all others, but even her own.

The walls of my house keep the roof up and this keeps the rain out.

I wonder if she lives in a house without walls?

Pope francis might agree..although,ironically, he lives safely behind HIGH WALLS with his own private army to protect him.
HIGH WALLS can surely keep folk safe:and francis would know.
HIGH WALLS keep him nice and safe.

Ok then..
Mr Bergoglio:TEAR DOWN THESE WALLS
{what’s that?you can’t hear?Too busy listening to the Bible or engaging in a “proper” reading of the koran which you say is “opposed to every form of Violence”?}
Trick_or_Treat says
Anybody who accuses me of not having read the qur’an “properly”, because I say that it contains violence, and incitements to violence (along with incitements to systematic gynephobic persecutions, and other hate-based acts of hostility) can go and get well and truely f**ked! They are grossly insulting my level of education, and also the qualifications and integrity of those who taught me how to read and write. How bloody dare they!
I have received an adequate enough education in that area, and I am quite competent in reading and clearly comprehending the written word – and the qur’an is f**king FULL OF IT!
Some might mistake me for being either illiterate or disrespectful, because I strive to make sure I never ever begin titles such as islam, mohammed, allah, the qur’an (koran), etc, with capital letters, but I absolutely refuse to indulge them any such normal tokens of honour, respect, or dignity, because they don’t deserve it, and are far below it. Likewise (and before my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ), I refuse to bow my knee or give any assent whatsoever to islam, or it’s godless, uncivilised, and deranged dictates – NOT EVER!

She is working hard not for her constituency, but for her Muslim brethren and Islam. See it, Hear it her loud words for Islam! How stupid and naive we all are to elect her to such a platform in US congress! The more we elect such people who adhere to hateful ideology, the more they will show their true colors of Islam!
James Lincoln says
Informedguy,
She was elected by Muslims – and leftist useful idiots…
The Muslims will continue to vote for her, hopefully others not so much….

Right now, her numbers are in the toilet. I think even a lot of Leftists have soured on her.

Where does the roof of her house stands on?

In the Bible book of Song of Solomon, a virtuous moral woman is said to be a “wall.” The immoral woman is said to be like a “door.”
Beavers build walls along a river in which to live and raise a family. Men have learned to build similar walls along rivers to control the flow of water and generate electric power. Walls keep out lions, bears, snakes and other creatures of the animal kingdom, protecting the people inside. Walls in zoos protect the people and the animals.
Dissect what this idiot moslim loudmouth says and realize she is wanting to rid the people of the walls that keep terrorists from a way to
” do psychological damage that lasts forever.”
Take away the security walls and it is much like tearing down the walls that keep wild animals from gaining entrance to the homes of people and having lunch. She is ugly evil.?

………………..
Tlaib, of course, considers anything that saves the lives of Israelis and prevents the destruction of the nation and her fall to Muslim conquest to be “destructive”.

Walls are not destructive nor productive. They protect.
