Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Rashida Tlaib Retweets a Lie from the Palestinian Atrocity Factory

Jan 28, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media:

That most honest and upright of Congresswomen, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Jihad), gained still more notoriety when, according to the Times of Israel, she “retweeted then removed a tweet falsely blaming Israelis for the death of a Palestinian child.” Tlaib “retweeted a tweet by Hanan Ashrawi, a top Palestinian official, who was quote-tweeting an account, realSeifBitar, that accused Israeli settlers of kidnapping, assaulting and throwing into a well an eight-year-old child.” It was all in a day’s work for the Palestinian atrocity factory.

When it became clear that the child had drowned, rather than being killed by murderous Zionists, Ashrawi published a retraction. Although she took down her initial retweet, Tlaib didn’t retweet the retraction. Tlaib has nearly 900,000 followers on Twitter. Hundreds of thousands likely saw her initial tweet before she took it down. Mission accomplished.

This deception is standard practice for adherents of the Palestinian cause. Israelly Cool reported Wednesday that a supporter of the Palestinian jihad against Israel, Sarah Hassan, recently posted a photo on Twitter of a boy crouched beneath a cart, surrounded by snow, trying to keep warm. “Gaza…poverty…cold!” wrote Hassan, but IsraellyCool noted that “never got lower than 6 degrees Celcius [sic] in Gaza over that time period” – that is, 43 degrees Fahrenheit, so there couldn’t have been snow piled up everywhere. What’s more, the photo doesn’t really come from Gaza at all; it was taken in Afghanistan in 2006.

A cornerstone of the Palestinian cause in the court of world opinion is projection and deception on a massive scale. Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, declared: “War is deceit.” (Bukhari, vol. 4, book 56, no. 3030) He also elucidated the conditions under which deceit was permissible: “It is not lawful to lie except in three cases: Something the man tells his wife to please her, to lie during war, and to lie in order to bring peace between the people.”

As The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process demonstrates, Palestinian leaders have refined lying during war into a fine art. Palestinian spokesmen set out to portray Israel as an outrageously repressive regime, routinely committing atrocities against the Palestinian people, who deserved aid from the international community as much as the Israelis warranted condemnation.

This initiative, too, has been wildly successful. The United Nations condemns Israel far more often than any other nation; many of these condemnations have been based on reports about Israeli atrocities that were entirely fabricated. World opinion has largely turned against Israel as well, as it has an international reputation today of being one of the world’s most unjust and repressive regimes.

There is much more. Read the rest here.

    As for the lying character, Rashida Tlaib it may well be said that if Talib tells a person “That its raining outside.” He or she would be wise to look out of the window first before believing her.

        I hope they do vote her out, Her approval ratings are very low. Sadly, though, I don’t think she has anyone running against her. I hope someone steps up.

          There IS someone who has already begun formulating his campaign to take her seat
          – David Dudenhoefer. He’s a very intelligent, articulate man who been involved in promoting the Republican party line around Metro Detroit for many years – and I think he can actually defeat Tlaib. He’s currently the Party Chairman of Michigan’s 13th District.
          *NOTE – Be aware that David has repeatedly stated that while he is very resentful of Tlaib’s profane statement about impeaching President Trump – and believes she must be replaced, HE DOES NOT SUPPORT ANY ‘ANTI-MUSLIM’ OR SIMILARLY THEMED CAMPAIGN OR IDEAS – AND WILL DEFINATELY TELL YOU SO.
          He wants to promote a more conservative, Constitutional approach to government with the idea of protecting people’s liberty and freedoms.
          He’s a good man, and will be a formidable candidate with enough support. He has already gotten donations from areas outside of SE Michigan – and outside of Michigan as well as of this past fall.

    Rashida Tlaib was set up in her congressional seat by her predecessor, Steve Tobocman, a delusional Jewish liberal who strongly encourages immigration. Just blows my mind.

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 28, 2020 at 6:20 pm

      You can see how much denial Tobocman is in here:

        Jan 28, 2020 at 8:18 pm

        Thanks gravenimage for the link.

        I have included a very telling passage from it:

        =========================

        “During the campaign, the liberal Jewish political action committee J Street endorsed her under the understanding that Tlaib supported the two-state solution and “all current aid to Israel and to the Palestinian Authority,” as her now-removed profile on the PAC’s site read.

        But on Aug. 13, six days after her election, she told Britain’s Channel 4 she would “absolutely” vote against U.S. military aid to Israel.

        And she said to the progressive magazine In These Times in an interview published Tuesday that “it has to be one state.”

        ========================

        Very safe to say Tlaib is a complete liar that cannot be trusted. Unfortunately she is also a member of the United States Congress.

        And Tobocman still refuses to see the world as it really is…

    ……………..

    Ugly stuff–far from the Israelis being responsible for the death of this child, they tried to revive him. Where were his neglectful parents?

    Will you feel the same way when Trump retweets a fake news story about Muslims? It’s been documented and he did apologize but I’m sure you don’t really care about double standards.

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 28, 2020 at 9:54 pm

      Does the vile apologist for Islam “IslamKills” have a problem with this blood libel from Rashida Tlaib against the very Jews who tried to save this child? Of course not.

      And the only thing I can find that President Trump got wrong vis-a-vis Muslims was his believing the canard about General Pershing burying Jihadists in pig fat–but this is not a lie about Muslims per se.

      Does the mendacious “IslamKills” have anything he can cite? I didn’t think so.

      • IslamKills says

        Jan 28, 2020 at 10:21 pm

        Actually my “vile apologist” for tyranny, I was thinking of this….

        https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-almost-apologizes-retweeting-anti-muslim-videos-posted-britain-first-n841256

        • Wellington says

          Jan 29, 2020 at 12:27 pm

          IslamKills: That’s it? That’s all you got on Trump and his anti-Muslim bigotry, that he thought something was true about an incident in The Netherlands with Muslims acting badly again.

          Holy Hell, there have been over 36,000 documented Islamic terrorist attacks worldwide just since 9/11, not to mention all the many tens of thousands of attacks thwarted since that dark day in American history. Thinking badly of Islam and having zero respect for its deluded followers even if many of them would not act out the violent directives found in the Koran, the most miserable excuse for a major holy book ever, is a perfectly sane, reasonable, common sense thing to do. It is those who keep making excuses for Islam who are the ones not rooted in reality—like you.

          Finally, there is nothing vile about gravenimage but you have vileness written all over you. You don’t know this but many here at JW do. Your moniker is “IslamKills.” Fitting, since IslamSucks. It is the worst religion of all time and if by now, some 18 years after 9/11, a non-Muslim adult does not have a very negative view of Mo’s warped creed, there is some deficiency in that person, willful ignorance being about the least bad of any deficiency and this deficiency is still bad enough. Get lost, malevolent one.

          Reply to I.K. … I don’t think anyone at JihadWatch accepts double standards or bigotry. Most of us are very thoughtful, moral people.

          Before you slander someone, make sure you have a reasonable chance of defending your accusation. Otherwise, a number of competent lawyers and a law teacher will pull your claims apart.

          All Trump said was that if this source is racist then he regrets retweeting them.

          But can “IslamKills” cite anything in these Britain First videos that is actually inaccurate or racist? I very much doubt it.

          For instance, Jayda Fransen has spoken out against Muslim rape gangs. Does the mendaciously named “IslamKills” have a problem with this?

    Has there been any comment from the terrorists at the terrorist organization CAIR and it’s terrorists? From what I understand, CAIR’s members, officers, and supporters are terrorists.
    Change my mind.

    • mortimer says

      Jan 29, 2020 at 1:39 pm

      Dear notnolib, many of the CAIR staff have been members of other organizations known to be fronts managed by the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is understood by many countries to be a terrorist organization. If you examine the history of the MB, you learn that it was inspired by the fascist organizations of Italy and Germany and that they had close contacts with them. CAIR is indeed a ‘jihadist’ organization using speech, writing, the courts and legislation to impose Sharia law in the United States by stealth, rather than violence. However, CAIR has clearly tried to stop US media from learning or reporting about jihad doctrines.

    Well of course she would jump on that train. After all her main reason for being in American politics is not to make America Great Again but to promote ISLAM and its hate towards America and Israel.

    Rashida Tlaib and her Pally terrorist pals can find enough real Pally victims of the evil Zionists, so they must invent fake victims. Real or unreal, the Leftard media will help the Pallies slander Israel. Some of the mud will stick. So, mission accomplished. Just don’t call this anti-Semitism.

    This must have been a set-up by the clever Mossad agents to embarrass the Pallies by making them look foolish. (sarc/off)

    • mortimer says

      Jan 29, 2020 at 1:17 pm

      correction: Rashida Tlaib and her Pally terrorist pals CANNOT find enough real Pally victims … so … invent

    • mortimer says

      Jan 29, 2020 at 1:25 pm

      I think much of this Pally propaganda is aimed at Muslims in Islamic countries. They love invented stories about the evil Jews and believe them with relish and without any verification whatsoever. It makes Muslims feel morally superior to the Jews.

      But, the legends of abuse by the Zionists don’t match with the test of common sense … if the evil Zionists are actually decimating the Pallies, the Pally population should be going down rapidly, but it isn’t. It’s growing rapidly.

      If all these concocted legends were true, then a number of Pally victims greater than the entire Pally population would have been exterminated by the Zionists … this would mean that the population of Pallies today would have shrunk to almost zero by now, rather than growing as it has exponentially within Israel.
