Indeed. And the establishment media gives them a pass on this, again and again and again.
“Rep. Lee Zeldin: Tlaib, Omar all about weakening Israel, they stay silent on Hamas, Palestinian Authority,” by Rep. Lee Zeldin, Fox News, August 20, 2019:
Rep. Zeldin: Omar, Tlaib telling lies to ‘play the victim’ in Israel dustup
Israel Caucus co-chair Rep. Lee Zeldin accuses Democrat Reps. Omar and Tlaib of ‘grandstanding’ with their press conference on Israel.
It should come as no shock that Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan are unwelcome in Israel, a nation they are taking great pains to tear down. Their latest PR stunt is an attempt to victimize themselves, whitewash history and spin reality – providing even further proof of their worst of intentions.
Israel is our greatest ally in the Middle East – a beacon of freedom, liberty, hope and opportunity. It is the U.S. government’s policy, as well as the priority of the American public, to strengthen that relationship, not rip it apart.
Meanwhile, Tlaib and Omar are the leading proponents in the United States for the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement that seeks to delegitimize and weaken Israel. Tlaib has even gone so far as to endorse a one-state solution that would remove Jews from power in Israel.
Not only have these two individuals been silent regarding the terrorism targeting Israel; they purposefully and dangerously have attempted to rewrite history and spread mistruths about Israel and the existential threats it faces.
The two congresswomen attack Israel while remaining silent on Hamas using women and children as human shields, denying humanitarian aid to its own people, calling jihad an obligation, and launching rockets into Israel that kill innocent civilians.
I’m not aware of Tlaib and Omar ever criticizing these facts, including the Palestinian Authority’s “pay to slay” policy of financially rewarding terrorists who murder innocent Israelis, or Hezbollah stockpiling 150,000 rockets on the border with Lebanon and building terror tunnels into Israel.
Meanwhile, Omar has tweeted “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.” She has stated that if you support Israel it means you have pledged allegiance to a foreign power and have been bought off by Jews.
Tlaib has said that thinking about the Holocaust gives her a calming feeling, because of the safe-haven the Palestinians provided to the Jews – something that is factually inaccurate.
In recent weeks, Tlaib also gave a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives comparing boycotting Israel to boycotting Nazi Germany.
Israel has a law banning BDS activists who seek to harm the country from gaining entry. The founder of the BDS movement is blatantly anti-Semitic. All around the world, including on college campuses here in the United States, Jews are being targeted with blatant anti-Semitism in the name of BDS….

I see fewer smirky smiles on these bitches faces of late. I just discovered Muslim Dr. Qanta Ahmed: “Rep. Omar and Tlaib are a disgrace to Islam.”
I’d love to see these bitches kicked out of office on their asses.
mgoldberg says
And for all her reasonableness, please search this site for Q Ahmed’s denials as to the meaning in the Quran, Islam, Jihad et al.
I wrote a response back in 2012 to such a luminous article about her and I’ll repost it here:
Sanity, But Alas, Wishful Thinking — A Response to Dr. Qanta Ahmed
Comments (0)
June 6th, 2012
Editor’s Note: The following is a reader’s response to RadicalIslam.org’s interview with Dr. Qanta Ahmed. To see the original article, click here.
by Mark Goldberg
Seemingly, Dr Ahmed is a breath of fresh air and reasonableness — nay, sanity — in the otherwise biased, tyrannical world of Muslim politics, thought and culture. However, I fear it is purely her own wishful thinking about Islam that she nurtures.
Ahmed makes many assertions about Islam that are simply flat out incorrect. For example, she says, “Our faith always centered on pluralism, deep reverence for other monotheisms and an acknowledgement of our beliefs as Muslims to have been informed by the believers preceding Islam, as the Quran explicitly acknowledges.”
The Quran, spends 61 percent of it’s entirety on what to do with and to the kaffirs [non-Muslims]. And it’s not about understanding their contributions of other believers. Islam, Mohammed and all the hadith and sira [sayings and biogrphies of Mohammed] after the “average” Quran, simply express the ‘”Jihad” and it’s eternal declarations to submit and or destroy those who don’t submit. That is clear and more than specific.
If Islam and Muslim societies hadn’t been given oppressed nations status, given the right to throttle the world with oil, then they wouldn’t have taken Jihad around the globe, specifically to the West, for the purposes of destroying all non-Muslim societies.
Dr Ahmed is from the tiny, tiny minority of those who reason by ignoring the Quran and pretend it never happened or has no weight, when the entirety of Islam, and all it’s legal systems, command that it abrogates all the Meccan suras that came before it.
It is good to hear from a person who has no hatred of others. But it’s not the commandment of Islam, nor of Mohammed. And for non-Muslims to pretend that her version of Islam — a version not supported by any of the legal schools of Islam, nor of
Slaughter in Indonesia of Ahmadiyan Muslims
any of the cultures of Islam that survived to this day — has any weight beyond her wishful thinking is more than dangerous.
Dr. Ahmed would be killed in “moderate” Indonesia, where the Ahmadiya Muslims were slaughtered last year, for her thoughts. She would be run out of Egypt, Lebanon and out of every Muslim country. Irshad Manji wrote books like this, and she has been banned in “moderate” Malaysia — that most successful Muslim country in the world, where Islam is continuing to tyrannize Christians, Buddhists and anyone who speaks against the hegemony of Sharia law.
Sharia Law — the Jihad of Islam currently attempting to supersede Western freedoms and liberties — is hardly understood by casting Dr Ahmed’s private, reasonable and decent version of Islam as “the real” Islam. It isn’t. Not anywhere. Nor is it accepted anywhere, except in the appeasing confines of Western thought, where ignoring the deadly effects of Sharia desperately needs such avenues in order to pretend there is no vast and immediate problem from Sharia and Islam.

koranic nonsense about the Jews…
“Abraham was not a Jew”
k3:67
{That’s because in islam Abraham couldn’t possibly be Jewish…so by islamic logic he had to have been a muslim,like Musa the muslim version of Moses.Thus the fact that all those Biblical prophets were JEWISH is denied by allah.This is because al LAH wants to replace the Jews with the Arabs,the Arabs being elevated to the status of the chosen people.}
“And the Jews say ‘Ezra is the son of allah’
k9:30
{What Ezra?What Jews ever said that?al LAH heard some Jews talking..and laughably this al LAH wants you to think he is the SAME as YHWH!}
Did you know that suleiman{the muslim Solomon} had an army of jinn and it seems…. an AIR FORCE
{k27:17 an army of BIRDS}
al Lah insists he can only be understood through Arabic
{“What! A FOREIGN TONGUE and an ARAB?k41:44
We know the Torah is in Hebrew but al Lah doesn’t relate to any language other than Arabic,
So how come the Torah is in Hebrew?
islamic apologists :”because the Jews corrupted it”
It must have been in Arabic originally{remember,allah only knows Arabic} but then the Jews obviously stole it and wrote it in A FOREIGN TONGUE,Hebrew.
Perhaps Dr Ahmed can explain..

Dr Ahmed is an amazing woman.

Another Muslim thug who wants to see the destruction of civilized Israel.
One of the most hilarious things here is this Muslim supremacist citing technological advancements as supposedly leading to the victory of Islam–doesn’t he know that Muslims do little innovation, because of their hatred of “Bi’da”?
In fact, one of the most technologically innovative of all nations is *Israel*.
Walter Sieruk says
Yes, indeed, Tlaib and Omar are for weakling the State of Israel ,or worse. Nevertheless they both are totally silent when it comes to the subject of the murderous violence of Hamas and the PA. This must be a deliberate and willful silence.
Omar and Talaib are completely ignorant It should be made known that the Muslim terror organizations, Hamas, and the PA are fated to fail in their Islamic agenda of destroying the State of Israel and replacing with Islamic “state.” The reason that they will lose in the end and lose hard is because the members of those two jihad terror entities are striving against the Will of God. The members who compose those Islamic terror groups might be too ignorant to know this; nevertheless, the truth is the God had given all land that now composes the State of Israel, including all of the West Bank, to the Jewish people. This may be found in the Bible, as seen in, for example, Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalm 105:7-11. 135:4. In other words the Jews have all this land by Divine Right. Furthermore, the Jewish people should have this land by historic rights as shown in First Kings 4:20,21, 24,25. 8:55, 56.
Still, in all fairness, there is one way for Omar and Talaib as well as the Muslim members who make up Hamas and the PA to convince God to change His Mind about being so much for Israel and then cause Him to turn His back on Israel and then have that nation be no more. That way is for both of those Muslim politicians and the members of Hamas and the PA to gather together and then change the laws of astrophysics, including those laws of astrophysics the control the sun, the moon and the stars. For God had declared in His Word, the Bible, in Jeremiah 31:35,36. “Thus saith the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and stars for a light by night…The Lord of host is His name. If those ordinances depart from before Me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever.”

Two ba’al worshipping Jezebels working against anything and everything that is not in support of their evil demon father, satan. islam is the current name for the false god satan conjured up so many thousands of years ago. islam is ba’al worship, devotion to molech, with the goal of the destruction of mankind through the worship of demons.
These creatures will not condemn hamas or the plo or the pa because they all work for the same demon, satan the devil. They use their very-public platform and new power of being “reps” to slander Israel and all who support that nation’s rights. But lies repeated, however endlessly, are still lies and will remain lies because lies originate with satan the devil, “the father of the lie.”

After all is studied, this is indeed the conclusion one eventually gets to, as it explains so much!
The battle ultimately is a spiritual conflict.
https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/justin-taylor/how-should-we-think-about-spiritual-warfare/
Reasons for the Urgency:
———————————
We live in a society where the modern agenda has largely failed.
We live in a society that has become increasingly pagan.
Missions, anthropology, and modern communications make us aware of the practices and beliefs of animistic cultures.
We live in a society of high-profile bondage to “addictions.”
Bizarre or troubled behavior, often related to experiences of extreme abuse, seems to be appearing more frequently.
Many people have sometimes experienced an uncanny, heightened sense of the presence of evil.
A growing number of Christians teach and practice “deliverance” ministry in the quest to cast out inhabiting demons.
somehistory says
Yep.
James Lincoln says
Tlaib and Omar are an absolute disgrace to the US House of Representatives.
Isn’t there any legal way that they can be removed? Have laws been broken?
somehistory says
From what has been reported, they have both committed fraud and omar lied to Congress. Crimes have been committed, and laws broken.
Although all of the ‘reps’ have been elected…hence, hired…by portions of “the People,” the People do not get to have the authority to ‘fire’ them from their jobs, from their positions of authority, and see that they face trials. This duty and power has been given to the other ‘reps’…who have all been hired by the People…and basically, if the reps don’t do something, nothing will be…unless some officer of the Court catches them in a crime; one that can be prosecuted by a jurisdiction separate from the Congress. If they were to be caught trafficking in something other than lies, for instance. Too bad meeting with terrorists hasn’t been enough to get them behind bars…or at the very least, unemployed.

We Need to Talk About Islam ☪️
https://topdocumentaryfilms.com/talk-islam/
The documentary film “We Need to Talk About Islam” could just as easily be called an opinion or editorial piece. It presents a thesis statement of sorts very early on, and audiences aren’t left wondering what aspect of Islam needs to be talked about according to the film’s narrator and presumably its’ creators. Various news footage, online videos showcasing Muslims admitting that they believe in the Quran, and footage displaying environments under Shariah rule are combined to show viewers why the supposed narrative of Islam and terrorism not being mutually exclusive is all wrong.
The film works to do one thing, and that is to persuade the audience that Muslims are bad, the narrator even gives a list of reasons why he believes all Muslims are bad, but is careful to explain that by bad he does not mean terrorist.
The film is curious in the way that it opposes the religion of Muslims. Much like the “All Muslims Are Bad…” bit of the film works to distance bad from terrorist, the narrator spends quite a bit of time (with the help of news footage from here and there) making sure that the audience doesn’t mistake the religion of Islam with any one race; seemingly in an attempt to not appear racist before negatively critiquing the western news media over going out of their way to not attach Islam with the word terror in order to not appear racist. We Need to Talk About Islam also makes a point of attempting to separate the faults of Islam from the faults of other religions, ironically through listing issues with the religion that ring true of Christianity as well, including attitudes towards homosexuality.
There are times in the film when good intentions and practical thinking points seem to be more at play than a desire to attach terrorism with Islam, but those moments can easily feel difficult to reconcile with the rest of the film. We Need to Talk About Islam states that non-extremist Muslims are irrelevant when compared to the Muslims who are extremist; a claim that raises eyebrows not because it may be offensive to Muslims, but because it is a logical fallacy in the form of a slippery slope and a way of thinking that is perhaps just as dangerous as the narrator and other notable atheist who are shown speaking throughout the film insist that any religious faith is. What is left to talk about after we decide that we believe in the points being made by the film’s narrator? You decide.
