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

Tlaib retweets “Palestinian” propagandists’ tweet blaming Israelis for death of boy who apparently drowned

Jan 26, 2020 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Rep. Tlaib has nearly 900,000 followers on Twitter. Hundreds of thousands likely saw her initial tweet before she took it down. She did not retweet the retraction.

“Tlaib deletes retweet blaming Israelis for death of boy who apparently drowned,” Times of Israel, January 26, 2020:

Rep. Rashida Tlaib retweeted then removed a tweet falsely blaming Israelis for the death of a Palestinian child.

Tlaib, a Palestinian American who is a Michigan Democrat and one of only two lawmakers to back the boycott Israel movement, 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. “The heart just shatters,” Ashrawi said.

In fact the boy, Qais Abu Ramila, appears to have drowned accidentally in a reservoir of rainwater in eastern Jerusalem. Israeli first responders found him on Saturday and tried to revive him.

Tlaib removed her retweet, and Ashrawi eventually apologized for “retweeting something that’s not fully verified.” Tlaib did not retweet the retraction.

Dani Dayan, the Israeli consul general in New York, took Tlaib to task for spreading what he called a “blood libel.”

“I am always extremely cautious in criticizing US elected officials,” Dayan said on Twitter. “However, when an American elected official retweets an unfounded blood libel against Jewish Israelis, I cannot remain silent. Congresswoman @RashidaTlaib just did.”

Abu Ramila had apparently slipped into and drowned in the pond, formed after days of rain in the city’s Beit Hanina neighborhood, police sources said….

    According to Tlaib, if a tree falls in the forest and no one sees or hears it, then a Jew must’ve done it.

    (Hers is a deep level of neurosis … let’s call it KAFIR-O-PHOBIA.)

      Would Tlaib even admit that Jews have made positive contributions via the lumber business?

        In the 19th century and up to World War I, the Ottoman Empire cleared the land of Israel of its natural reserves of pine and oak trees, in order to build railways across the empire.

        The forests of contemporary Israel are mainly the result of a massive afforestation campaign by the Jewish National Fund (JNF). Since it was founded the JNF has planted in Israel more than 185 million trees creating 280 forests.

        Pally terrorists are responsible for burning over 10,000 acres of Israel’s forests.

      She looks like an ugly man wearing a wig. How can she truthfully put her hand on a Qu’ran and take the oath of office, when it’s as clear as day that she despises the U.S. Constitution and is lying in her oath? I’ll tell you how, taqiyya: https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/taqiyya.aspx

    When in doubt blame the Jews, eh? Nazis did it all the time. Muslims have been doing it since the 7th century.

      There is no such thing as a ” PALESTINIAN”, NOR HAS THERE EVER BEEN A ” PALESTINE ” IN 8000 YEARS. THEY ARE JUST MIXED BLOOD ARABS. TLAIB IS JUST A MIXED BLOOD TERRORIST ARAB1.

      At every opportunity possible Rashida rants on Jews, often with vulgarity. Do you suppose she is a racist? Walks like a duck, talks like a duck; still waiting for the, “walks on water”, fail.

      • Kafirinfidel says

        Jan 27, 2020 at 1:35 am

        She’s not a “racist”, but she’s definitely an Anti-Semite Nazi.

    Rashida Talib is blatantly , ignorant, absurd and irrational . Likewise, she is obviously extremely anti-Jewish and likewise very anti-Israel therefore Tlaib is , in essence , Un-American and thus unfit to hold any political office in the USA .

    As so well explained by the former US President, William Howard Taft, when in a speech he declared

    “Antisemitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out. It has no place in America.”

    • Patti Pickerd says

      Jan 26, 2020 at 5:27 pm

      Agree with his statement!!! She is along with the other members of the squad a traitor!!!!!!!

      No anti-American should ever be in our government!!!!!

    • abad says

      Jan 26, 2020 at 7:16 pm

      Agreed!

      Tlaib should be deported back to Palestine.

      She does not belong in America.

      Deport Omar too. She hates America.

    And here we have Tlaib’s reaction to an off color jew joke:

    By this recent tweet Rashida Tlaib is further showing that her absurdity and anti-Jewish malice and spite which is beyond reason.

    in addition mouths earlier before keyboarding those tweets of Islamic hateful antisemitism, Tlaib in when speaking before the public she called President Trump a “m….. f…..”

    By using such foul terms Tlaib had exposed what a very low class and totally unsophisticated as well as unintelligent woman she actually is. For a person with any class , sophistication and intelligence might strongly dislike someone but wouldn’t use such vulgarity of language as Tlaib did. She by speaking in that absence low class way has also thrown shame on the office her holds in the US government Could be that Tlaib may be trying to shows herself unfit for the office she now holds ?

      Walter, she was put in by the Muslim Brotherhood hoods.

    “Ashrawi eventually apologized for “retweeting something that’s not fully verified.”

    “Not fully verified”? It was a lie. How about that, Hanan Ashrawi, former teacher of English?

    • Wellington says

      Jan 26, 2020 at 4:38 pm

      Claiming Allah exists, the Koran is sacrosanct and that Mohammed is the Model Man have also never been verified. I know you know this, Hugh Fitzgerald, but my blood was up to write it nonetheless.

      Verification, a subset of truth in general, is something Islam and its deluded followers have had “trouble” with from the get-go.

      • mortimer says

        Jan 27, 2020 at 11:37 am

        Wellington is onto something important here. Islam is almost entirely based on ‘hearsay’ evidence (which lawyers and judges mostly consider unreliable). The Koran itself was the ‘hearsay’ that Jibreel brought to Mohammed from ‘Allah’ and the ‘hearsay’ Mohammed spread to his followers who ‘heard’ it from Mohammed and then ‘memorized’ the words of Mohammed and transmitted them to other through ‘hearsay’. Three or four series of hearsay, before the Koran was written. The case of the hadiths is even more unreliable … the chain of hearsay goes on for 3, 4 and 5 different persons until it is written down by Bukhari and Bukhari never met the narrators and never revealed his methodology in determining the reliability of the hadiths!

        Islam is almost entirely based on ‘hearsay’. Thus, it is not reliable as history or revelation. Allah does not even speak directly to Mohammed.

    If memory about 2002 or 2008 Moslems in Constantinople threw the Greek Orthodox Christian man down the well of the church.
    T he man was the church janitor.

    ……………………………

    Of course she didn’t.

    More:

    ……………………………

    So in other words, not only were the hated Israelis not responsible for the death of this boy, they actually tried to save him.

    ”Rep. Rashida Tlaib retweeted then removed a tweet falsely blaming Israelis for the death of a Palestinian child.”
    I have witnessed many a Jewish comedian in my lifetime. I have not witnessed a single muslim comedian, however. If the above quote passes as muslim comedy then I guess I have just explained the above dichotomy.

    There aren’t enough incidents involving unfairness or cruelty to Arabs in Israel, so they must INVENT them !

  12. OLD GUY says

    Tlaib needs to be voted out of office. She doesn’t represent America, she represents an Islamic ideology of hate towards the KAFIR and Israel.

  13. JHL says

    Jan 27, 2020 at 3:54 pm

    People need to realize that Omar and Tlaib are committed to Islam — not the US Constitution.
