You can’t possibly be surprised by this at this point.
The “toxic masculinity” bit is clever. In trying to use a “Palestinian” Islamic honor killing to weaken further American men and make them less likely to and capable of defending their homeland — you have to give Tlaib points for imagination, as well as audacity.
“Here’s What Rashida Tlaib Blamed a Palestinian Honor Killing On,” Red State, September 2, 2019:
This past Thursday, a Palestinian woman named Israa Ghareb was murdered by her brothers in a hospital bed. This happened in public, with staff knowing exactly what was happening. No one intervened or tried to stop it. No one was arrested or punished. There are reasons for that, which will get into momentarily.
This led Rep. Rashida Tlaib, noted anti-Semite and Palestinian activist, to put out a tweet denouncing the killing. That might typically be seen as a positive if it weren’t so full of obfuscation so as to once again show her lack of ability to condemn the real causes of violence from her people. And to be clear, Tlaib pointedly claims the Palestinians as her people. That is not my assumption simply based on her familial origins.
Here’s the tweet in question.
"Isra’s death illustrates an ever-present toxic masculinity and control over women’s bodies and lives."

Ah yes. The real problem here isn’t Palestinian culture, buttressed by centuries of Muslims committing honor killings as part of their religious beliefs. No, it’s nebulous “toxic masculinity.” That’s why Western cultures, which had plenty of “toxic masculinity” throughout history, also had epidemics of honor killings. Wait, they didn’t? Then perhaps that should point to the fact that masculinity, though it can certainly be weaponized in harmful ways toward women, is not the primary driver of honor killings.
The article she links to is exactly what you’d expect. It’s a pathetic attempt to excuse all responsibility for the killing away from Islam’s cultural rot and toward the a wider enemy which fits into the mold of social justice activism. Here’s how the piece opens.
***Disclaimer: Honor killings are not Muslim and they are not Arab. This is a universal phenomenon which takes places in nearly all corners of the globe, from the United States to Europe. The US president stands accused of rape. Honor killings were legal in Italy until the 1970s and still happen today. Do not use this narrative to reinforce dangerous stereotypes of Arab culture and Islam. Patriarchy exists every where….
This is absolute nonsense. Honor killings are not a “universal phenomenon.” They are extremely localized to Islamic societies, as well as some Hindu cultures. That’s not to say that throughout history there’s never been an honor killing elsewhere, but to pretend that there’s some kind of equivalency shows a desperate attempt to make excuses for cultures which simply do not measure up in terms of human rights. She bemoans “stereotypes” about Arab culture and Islam while at the same time admitting Palestinian law allows honor killings. Perhaps she should worry less about stereotypes and more about the realities which support them.
Oh yeah, and this is Israel’s fault of course.
Now, here’s why Isra’s murderers stand to walk away from this untouched by the law. In Palestine, our legal system is the result of a century of occupation and political turmoil. It is a combination of Ottoman, British, Egyptian (in Gaza), Jordanian (in the West bank), and even no system (Area C). Despite various and continued efforts over the last decade, there has been very little reform to this outdated and dysfunctional legal system for two reasons: Israeli military occupation and a corrupt Palestinian Authority both hinder any legal, economic, and social progress….

Tlaib blames “Palestinian” honor killing on “toxic masculinity” and “Israeli military occupation”
………………..
What blatant Taqiyya from Rashida Tlaib.
There are men everywhere in the world, yet “Honor Killings” are far more common in some places than others–specifically, places influenced by Islam.
Then, “Honor Killings” are common in most parts of the Muslim world that are not under “Israeli military occupation”.
Further, Islam sacralizes wife beating, and believes that the family’s honor has to do with how closely men control the women in the family, and any “transgressions” by women are cleansed from shaming the family by murdering them.
ninetyninepct says
It is clearly toxic Muslim masculinity. Muslim males are toxic.
gravenimage says
Yep.
william carr says
She obviously has not or does not want to notice that Islam and its inventor are the very definition of Toxic masculinity
Emilie Green says
Tlaib – a Democrat to the core.
With Democrats it’s always, always, always someone else’s fault. Never are Democrats or Democrat policies to blame; never is personal responsibility ever shown. This trait consistently holds true with every Democrat client group, especially for Muslims.

Correct post Will, and why does this woman always look like a “Snarling Dog with that hateful look on her ugly face?”
Her pal, AOC, ‘looks like a Braying Jackass, showing about 2″ of her gums and long teeth.’ Not too much is attractive about ‘the Squad’…….especially with the Hatred they spew.
Walter Sieruk says
When Tlaib put the blame for “Palestinian honor killing” on what she calls “toxic masculinity” and ” Israeli military occupation ” This shows two specific things.
First , her nonsensical blame is yet ,again,proof the the saying is true . the saying is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse. ”
Second, her absurd blaming reveals that she willing or blindly is shifting the real source of that murderous action of heinous violence so inappropriately called “honor killing” on other thing and not on the actual inspiration for this murdering wickedness where is fittingly belongs Which is Islam with all it’s hideous misogyny. This “honor killing” occurs in America and the different nations of Europe.
Tlaib also refuses to acknowledge that the “Palestinian” are ,for the most part, The Arab /Muslim of that area in the Middle East .For there is no real specific ethnic group or race which is truthfully classified as”Palestinian.”
Likewise, there is no Israeli occupation , military or otherwise, of that land the belongs to the Jewish people, because the West Bank and the Golan Heights and all of Jerusalem belongs to the Jews from both the Biblical and historical grounds.
Tlaib is full of falsehoods in her worldviews which is reflected by her error -filled words

She is in agreement with an NBC personality who recently said that “heterosexuality” does not work.
tlaib is an ignorant loudmouth, or she would know that islam is evil and her support of it will lead only to a grave somewhere. For the moment…a small fraction of time that will one day be forgotten…she has a measure of power and a public platform from which to spout lies, distortions, and stupidity. islam is at the core of the murder of young women who do not toe the line of male domination in her ‘palestinian’ community.
How many times have mothers and even sisters been guilty of helping to kill an innocent girl for wanting to escape islam and its evil code of brutality? Many have held their daughters down while the husband stabbed the girl…for having a boyfriend, wearing “western” clothes, not wearing the ugly slave scarf, etc. Many have helped lure their daughters into a trap so they could be killed by a husband, brother, uncle. Evil is islam and that is the cause of the murders.
James Lincoln says
Just a thought, but does she state the reason for honor killings in these ludicrous terms – in order to avoid severe cognitive dissonance?
Can she not process the truth that her own religion/ideology Islam actually condones honor killings?
Wellington says
Only fools will buy this rubbish from Tlaib. Unfortunately, huge numbers of people in America, the West at large and across the world are fools.
Hey, reducing the number of fools on earth will directly proportionally reduce the influence of Islam and apologists for this wretched creed. Alas, herein lies the rub.
Rob says
OK so show that honour killings have ceased in Gaza and Sinai since Israel pulled out.

Oh f**k, here we go again, “Toxic Masculinity”! This term, ‘Toxic Masculinity’, just like a number other very recently manufactured, and totally bogus terms (like so-called ‘islamaphobia’ for example), has quickly become another favoured golden-haired child of the preposterous lefty PC-speak lexicon, and is now being weaponised at every possible oppertunity by air-heads like your Congresswoman (woman?) Tlaib.
How about just straight out ‘islamic toxicity (as per bloody usual)?
BTW, I think the photo pic accompanying this article posting seems to be a pretty convincining pictoral definition of what you could call, ‘Female Toxicity’!
Tom W Harris says
Judging by appearances, Ms. Tlaib has a pretty good case of toxic masculinity herself.
Giacomo Latta says
Got people cutting across your property but your city doesn’t allow pitbulls? Just put this photo of Tlaib on the edge of your property and your problems will soon be over.

Trick- it’s getting so we need to print a new dictionary for them. BTW Many of us REAL women think toxic masc is bulls**t. Each male has a unique personality and life experience and values just like women. They can or NOT be aggressive towards women. Like anything in life it’s a choice. SMART women AND men know this. The rest are hopeless fools.

This type of murder would be prosecuted to the fullest extent in Israel and Britain (the supposed colonizers), yet this author claims that it is the Israeli justice system that will let this despicable act go unpunished. Only in shariah, the psuedo justice system that is unfortunately allowed to rule within Israel due to the Israelites desperate yearning for peace, are so-called “honor killings” not only justified but celebrated. This type of deflection is somehow fooling nearly every leftist in the world. It may not be long before our mothers, wives, daughters or sisters are subjected to this medieval absurdity.
LeeZee says
Honor killings do not rule in Israel. They occur in the areas under the jurisdiction of the PA.
mortimer says
Tlaib is hiding Muslim males behind a supposed WESTERN ‘toxic masculinity’. So when Muslim males beat their women into submission, that doesn’t count as ‘toxic masculinity,
Tlaib is very bold to go so close to the edge here. She is practically calling Muslim men ‘TOXIC’.
This uncontrolled, mouthy women will eventually offend the wrong males … the ones in her Muslim constituency.
libertyORdeath says
I guess forcing women into nonconsensual sex, wearing a hijab, etc. should be chalked up to “toxic masculinity” as well, ignoring Islamic sanctions for such behavior for 1400 years.
Trick_or_Treat says
Is it just male/masculine chromosomes that is actually toxic (or should I say the reason for this apparent toxicity of arrogant privilege) or is it really the toxic and evil garbage in this satanic doctrine called the qur’an which they cram thear heads and psyche with? If all of them had been brought up as Christian, and under Judeo-Christian societal standards and principles from birth, would the incidences of barbaric violence, rape, and hostile misogyny still be ‘naturally’ at the very same level of representation, due to their particular ‘arabic male chromosomes’, or would it be at the very much lower (albeit still unfortunate) levels that it runs at in our western Judeo-Chistian societies? I think the overwhelming level of barbaric, violence, rape, and toxic misogyny that is represented on the account of perpetrators whose psyches are enslaved by this rotten evil doctrine and it’s ideology speaks clearly for itself.
somehistory says
OT: The Washington Standard has published information about omar’s first ‘husband’ who says that her second ‘husband’ was her brother and she “threatened him’…the first husband…if he did not lie to support her lies.
Just call this “toxic moslima” and see how those words are received.

Yeah, give her points for creativity and audacity . . . and throw in some for repulsiveness, chicanery, and calumny.

Muslim placards tell us:
“Islam is the perfect system for all mankind”.
Islam’s punishment for murder is retaliation – a life for a life.
However, “the following are not subject to retaliation: …. a father or mother …for killing their offspring” (Manual of Islamic Law, “Reliance of the Traveller” o 1.2 (4))
Tlaib slates this as “this outdated and dysfunctional legal system”.
She said it.
We shall quote her on it.

The people in her elected district need help to unseat her in the next election ,her focus should be representing them and there interest, not the interest of known terror groups in Middle East .Making honor killing a known acceptable thing in Islamic society(it happens in North America ,Africa ,Asia in Islamic societies done by family members) all the world over a problem cause by the JEWS! It is amazing no matter how bad Islamic rules are no matter how violently they live their lifestyle they never take responsible for their actions Are honor killing done in any lower class communities that are “repressed” and not Moslem in the western world or the third world on the scale of the people practicing Islam? How many honor killing are done in middle and upper class families in the Middle East and Asia in Islamic run countries with 0 Jewish influence in how the countries are run?

“This is absolute nonsense. Honor killings are not a “universal phenomenon.” They are extremely localized to Islamic societies, as well as some Hindu cultures. ”
Robert,is it Hindu “cultures” or Indian? or Sikh?
and if Hindu,there is nothing in the Hindu religion and or its interpretation that leads to the endorsement of this kind of barbarism.
the same would apply to Sikh?
Gamaliel says
Blame the people you hate for what you are guilty of is a standard tactic of the left and the Muslims. Here she also appeals to leftist women and help undermine’s western society by fomenting hate between men and women.

Indeed.
Anonymous says
Tlaib’s main feature seems to be her facial expressions that make me think of a dangerous alien animal invading a spaceship. She probably manages by this agressive display to put everybody on watchout mode. Like people are in a Muslim society, always on a watchout mode, all constructive business stopping. Isn’t it a bully?
DingedUp says
Reviewing the concept of “locus of control” may be instructive here.
“In personality there are two types of locus of control, internal or external.
An individual or culture with an “…external locus of control supports a belief that one is helpless, without blame, and not in control of one’s successes and failures.
An individual with an external locus of control blames their failures on outside sources…
Individuals or cultures possessing an”internal locus of control will attribute their success and failures to their own efforts.
Cultures tending towards an external locus of control will never admit responsibility for their own failings, and will reflexively resort to scapegoating, or employing far fetched excuses (i.e “the Zionists”, the Crusades).
While cultures exhibiting an internal locus of control are potentially better equipped to acknowledge and address their shortcomings, they are susceptible to paralysis in the wake of an internal enemy who fosters a “tyranny of guilt.”
“Clearly, a civilization that feels guilty for everything it is and does will lack the energy and conviction to defend itself.”

The author just had to squeeze in that Trump has been accused of rape even though this isn’t about rape and rules under Islamic sharia law about rape are a big problem too. Islam thinks women are liars and too dumb that they need four witnesses for rape and two women’s testimony in court so one can help remind the other. In the Hadith it is reiterated that when Muslim women asked Muhammad asked about women’s intelligence he replied that their needing two women for testimony is proof of that. (I don’t have access to my quotes at the moment.)
The majority of honor killings happen in Pakistan and environs and most go unpunished with an excuse that they happen in rural villages as if that matters. Honor killings have happened in Canada and the US just over the wives and daughters refusing to wear a hijab. That *is* an Islamic issue. Another was a father that abused and then killed one of his daughters because they were being too Western and dating boys. So, Muslims are not all assimilating to Western culture, as we well know, and daughters are suffering for it, especially in Muslim enclaves where they are illegally enforcing sharia law. Likewise female genital mutilation, which does have a basis in Islam, continues to happen for the purpose of preventing promiscuous behaviors and hence male possession.
Another issue, especially in Africa is that both a woman is still greatly shamed in communities for her being raped. Also, menstruation is still seen as repugnant. Islamic law is very clear about sharia rules regarding menstruation and sex.
Blaming anything on Israel or old British involvement is so pathetic. In Gaza women had to risk riding bicycles because it is seen as sexual enticement.
Remember CAIR told a Canadian school that Islamophobia also entails criticism Islamic culture and law. I believe Christine wrote about that here.
Tlaib isn’t helping Muslim women and she and the author are dishonest, but what else is new?
This is all easily verifiable.
elee says
Maybe the majority, or a plurality, of the honour killings in the world occur in the Muslim paradise called Pakistan but can anyone point to a Muslim country or enclave in which they DON’T occur? It certainly wouldn’t be Egypt, or Turkey, or Syria, or Bangladesh, or Indonesia……nor would it be the Muslim enclaves in western countries, would it? Oh and why do you suppose there are no honour killings in Greenland Antarctica or Korea? Hmmmm……

“AT A SPRAWLING TENT CAMP IN SYRIA, ISIS WOMEN IMPOSE A BRUTAL RULE”
AL-HOL, Syria — The woman told aid workers it was an accident. Her 14-year-old daughter had slipped and fallen, she said. There was nothing they could have done.
But the body told a different story. The girl’s neck had been broken in three places, doctors said, and she died with eyes open, biting her lips and struggling to breathe. Photos and medical records suggested she had been beaten about the torso, then strangled. It was murder, not a misstep.”
The young girl had broken the strict rules of islam…”. They said she had suggested dispensing with her black niqab”

TOXIC MASCULINITY— Yes let’s talk about toxic masculinity, just how toxic does she think it is when the barbarians/ Muslim Brotherhood hoods use women to carry out sucide bombings? First you rape the women then you promise the women you just raped, martyrdom—THEY CAN WASH AWAY THEIR SHAME—-they have been taught to feel over their abuse, by the filthy, barbarians who raped them.
Rashida Tlaib is a disgraceful, mad woman who should be forced to step down, or in words she might understand, toss her stupid, fat, ass out.
