She said not a word about the genocidal incitement and Jew-hatred that appears frequently on “Palestinian” television and is often by “Palestinian” Muslim clerics (and other Muslim clerics as well). Islamic jihadis and apologists for jihad terror always blame their victims for their own violence and cruelty. They never take responsibility for their own actions.
That is bad enough, but even worse is the fact that Western non-Muslims constantly fall for this grievance propaganda, and assume that if they change their behavior in some way, the jihadis will be mollified and peace will ensue. In this case, Tlaib is likely banking on just that: that her Leftist allies will step up their agitation against the alleged Israeli “occupation” in response to the murder of Rina. She knows they will never say the slightest peep against jihad terrorism, which they assume is entirely the fault of two non-Muslim entities, Israel and the U.S.
This is absolutely tragic & horrible. My heart goes out to Rina's family. More than ever we need to support nonviolent approaches to ending the Israeli occupation and guaranteeing equal rights for all. Extremism that puts innocent lives at risk moves us no closer to peace. https://t.co/lQ4qrYf6ig

“Tlaib Blames Palestinian Murder of Israeli Girl On Israel and U.S. Right-Wing,” by
Congressman Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich) expressed regret in a tweet on Friday for a terrorist attack in which a 17-year old girl was murdered and her father and brother were injured. In the same post on Twitter, Tlaib also retweeted a post from an anti-Israel group that blamed the attack on the right-wing in Israel and the U.S.
Tlaib recently made headlines over a drawn-out saga concerning a junket she organized to introduce freshmen congressmen to “Palestine” (The itinerary did not refer to Israel). After much deliberation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided to ban Tlaib and Congressman Ilhan Omar due to their support of the Boycott Divestment Sanctions movement (BDS) which works to delegitimize Israel. Israeli law prohibits advocates of BDS from entering the country. The junket was organized in conjunction with Miftah, a Palestinian propaganda organization which publishes neo-Nazi material and propagates the blood-libel myth that Jews bake matza with the blood of Christian children. Taib made a personal written request from the Israeli Minister of the Interior to visit her grandmother who is in her 90’s, promising that she would not promote BDS during her visit. She was granted the dispensation but refused to accept it.
On Friday morning, an improvised explosive device detonated near a natural spring in the Shomron (Samaria), killing Rina Shnerb, a 17-year-old Jewish girl and wounding her father and brother. The brother is on life-support and the father is being treated in the hospital. Police are still searching for the Palestinians responsible for the murder.
Tlaib, who was born in Detroit to Palestinian parents, related to the murder with regret but also cited an anti-Israel group that blamed the Palestinian attack on the Israeli and U.S. right-wing.IfNotNow blamed the attack specifically on “the occupation”, a historically and factually inaccurate term anti-Semitic groups use to refer to Israel.
IfNotNow has been condemned as an antisemitic organization by numerous Jewish organizations. Many members of the organization are against a Jewish state in Israel, even within the pre-1967 lines…
mortimer says
Tlaib has reduced her entire message to one word: occupation. However, the Jewish homeland was established by international law, not by an illegal invasion, and so Israel is a legal assignment of land like any other assignment of land. The establishment of a Jewish state was supposed to occur about 1940, but they hadn’t predicted WWII which added a few years onto the date of independence. Tlaib is using her position to say that Jews may not have a homeland.
FYI says
And as you know..
“And WE said unto the children of Israel after him:DWELL IN THE LAND.
But when the promise of the hereafter cometh to pass WE shall bring you as
a crowd gathered out of various nations”
koran 17 :104{bani Israil:the Children of Israel}
“Oh my people!Go into the Holy Land which allah ordained for you”
koran 5:21
That can ONLY refer to the Jews of course..
Even al LAH,tlaib’s Arab god, says the Jews should be in Israel,their rightful homeland.
James Lincoln says
Mortimer,
Absolutely correct. What’s most disturbing is that it’s likely that Tlaib knows that she is lying.
ElderlyZionist says
IfNotNow blamed Israel first, first.
IfNotNow is a globalist-financed anti-Israel propaganda group that uses communist Jews as a front for their malevolence. I know several IfNotNow members and sympathizers. They are desperately clinging to their left-progressive delusions.
I suppose their tweet gave Rep. Tlaib cover, and a calm feeling.
Or Else! says
The only distressing occupation is that of seats in Washington occupied by Tlaib, Omar, and their ilk.
If they are truly serving their Michigan and Minnesota constituents by fighting for an end to Israel, then global warming goes on the back burner, lefties….wake up!
Or Else! says
Bottom line: they strive for an end to Israel AND Jews because their god and prophet command it. Just act like a victim while you’re doing it…and about half the people will praise your actions.
Oh…and keep the others in line with, “You’d better believe we’re oppressed….or else!”….which is also massaged by leftist elites in stories such as this one.
Islam: Operating like a mob since 622.
mortimer says
How ‘sorry’ is Tlaib? Does she condemn Hamas and the pay-for-slay policy of PA? If not, she sheds crocodile tears.
The crocodile wept for its victims too. Blame the victim, but don’t stop the terrorists. It’s all a ruse to create a greater Jordan including the territory of Israel.
– “The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct “Palestinian people” to oppose Zionism.
For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.”- PLO representative Zouhair Muhsen in 1977, speaking to a Dutch newspaper
– Dr. Martin Sherman, founder and executive director of the Israel Institute for Strategic Studies, recently wrote that Article 1 of the Palestinian National Covenant proclaims: “The Palestinian Arab people are…part of the Arab nation.” Article 12 baldly admits that a separate Palestinian identity is a ruse to further wider Arab interests. Thus, at an Arab League summit in 1987, convened in Amman, King Hussein conceded that Palestinian identity was merely a response to Jewish national claims, not driven by any authentic endogenic sentiment of uniqueness, stating, “The appearance of the Palestinian national personality comes as an answer to Israel’s claim that Palestine is Jewish.” –King Hussein of Jordan in 1987
Hugh Fitzgerald says
“Israeli occupation”? What “Israeli occupation”?
Homework for Rashida Tlaib:
1. Mandate for Palestine, especially Articles 4 and 6
2. UN Charter, Article 80, which recognizes the continuing relevance of the Mandate’s provisions
3. UN Resolution 242
4. Discussion of the meaning of UN Resolution 242 by its author, Lord Caradon, especially the need for “secure and recognized boundaries”
That’s a start.

And according to Tlaib, the dangerous situation of Islamic terrorism has nothing to do with pay-for-slay or Al Walaa wal Baraa or Islamic supremacism or preachers at Al Aqsa who call for genocidal murders almost weekly.
It isn’t ‘soliciting genocide’ when Pallies do it. 1.8 million Pallies live in Israel, work there, are integrated and are contributing to society. Israel is a pluralistic country and Arabic is an official language.

Never let a good tragedy go to waste, eh? “Palestinians” murder Israelis? Why, it’s Israel’s fault, of course!

Tlaib is representing her people. Remember that. Do not focus on her, focus on those who elected her in to office.
She doesn’t have to apologize or condemn anything.
And likewise, we don’t owe her or her constituents anything. We can hold back federal aid, we can keep her from any committees, we can basically shun them federally until they arrive at some sort of reason and decency.
Again, they don’t have to do anything. And neither do we.
Jay says
How very sad for this teen girl Rini to lose her life in such violence! May she Rest In Peace! Will the violence against Israel ever end? Will the world ever accept that Israel and the Jewish people deserve respect and peace? They are our biggest ally! I am proud that Pres Trump supports Israel and Pm Netanyahu!!
I wish all the investigations into Tlaib and her campaign money fraud, her campaign address fraud, her
relations with terrorists groups,etc. would get her removed from office asap! She is the enemy within
and a traitor to America and our values!! She is an embarrassment to Michigan ! Her constant lies about her grandmother are disgusting, especially since she has not seen her since 2006! And her family in Palestine live in luxury and they have posted pix of their expensive cars , i.e. BMW, Mercedes, etc. and expensive homes! They have questionable relations to terror groups as well!
So what is her outrage based on? Tlaib is beyond uninformed liar, and dangerous to America!
Trump 2020. Our only hope to protect and save America !

This hideous moslim creature is totally despicable. Every day she speaks and every time she speaks, it is demonic language she utters.
Much like some once blamed all rapes on the victims…for their style of clothing, their living arrangements, their career choices or leisure activities, etc., this loudmouth moslim, lying daughter of the devil, blames the victims for their murders.
What would she say if an arab, a moslim and his family had traveled to the spring and this had happened to them by the hands of another moslim? The very same thing. She just would have said it sooner.
She was told by her hangers-on that she was being taken to task for not saying something about the murder, attempted murder, and maiming, and advised her to **say something** about this. So, belatedly, she said something. Had it been that moslims were the victims of islam’s evil, she would have blamed Israel, but she would have done so immediately.
This ugly, lying moslim is not fooling those who recognize her goals and means of reaching them for what they really are…subjugation to islam by the entire world of mankind.
What is more, the Truth always comes out. In the case of islam and the moslims devoted to it, the Truth will come out and islam will be totally destroyed.

Tlaib blames Israel…
[Sarcasm/ON] Gee, so surprised to hear that, how utterly out of character for her…?!
I expect her diaper-head stablemate, Omar, will no doubt follow suite with the same sentiment.
CRUSADER says
Tlaib has no imagination!
If she cared about transformation for the betterment, she’d support programs Israel has offered surrounding Arab states of sharing tech to help grow economies.
Israel ?? is an oasis in a desert of dearth. All are bettered by her existence, but obstinate minds refuse to acknowledge the positive and goodness and blessing.

Tlaib blames jihad murder of Israeli teen on “Israeli occupation”
…………………
Of course she does. If you filthy Jews don’t let us take over and destroy Israel, then we have the right to murder your children.
God, I hate Islam.
