As expected, criticism of Israel’s defense against Palestinian jihad aggression has been swift and harsh. From Islamic countries to leftists, propaganda has circulated that Israel is murdering Palestinians, when in reality it was Palestinians who first launched attacks against Israel at the the Temple Mount, thus leading Israel to take steps to protect its population.
“The squad” has become well known as far-left members of Congress who support woke activism including Black Lives Matter, anti-police initiatives and the Palestinian “resistance” against Israel. But in the wake of the latest round of severe aggression against Israel, the victimology and anti-Israel rhetoric of the “squad” is particularly concerning, prompting Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene to reference the “squad” as the “jihad squad” and say that they shouldn’t be in Congress, for good reason:
The “jihad squad” has been supportive of Palestinian jihad terror against Israel, as instigated in this latest round by Hamas and Islamic jihad. They continue to manipulate the victimology subterfuge — presenting the aggressor as the victim — as it is taking far too long for Westerners to catch on.
This “squad” does not belong in Congress, as Greene rightly stated.
“Congressional ‘Jihad Squad’ slammed for supporting Jerusalem terror,” by Josh Plank, World Israel News, May 12, 2021:
“The Squad,” made up of several progressive Democrats in Congress, lashed out at Israel on social media Monday over the recent violence in Jerusalem, drawing fire from some supporters of the Jewish State.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) referred to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) as the “Jihad Squad” in a Monday tweet.
“The Jihad Squad @IlhanMN @RashidaTlaib @AOC doesn’t think Israel has the right to defend itself from terrorists Hamas when they fire rockets into Israel. They also support terrorists Antifa/BLM who attack Americans,” said Greene.
“Members who support terrorism don’t belong in Congress,” she said.
Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Gilad Erdan accused Tlaib of encouraging terrorism.
In response to one of Tlaib’s tweets, Erdan said, “Your words encourage terror groups such as Hamas to fire rockets into civilian populations and carry out attacks against Jews.”
“Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have prayed freely at their holy sites, including in Jerusalem, over the month of Ramadan because Israel believes in freedom of religion and Israeli security forces work hard to enable all groups to pray in peace,” said Erdan.
“In contrast, some so-called Muslim ‘worshipers’ are curtailing freedom of worship for thousands of Jews who want to celebrate Jerusalem Day, one of the most important days on our calendar marking the reunification of our sacred and holy city,” he said.
Former U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley also weighed in, tweeting, “It is a shame that some on the left are pushing misinformation and anti-Israel propaganda that stokes the flames.”
Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman tweeted that Tlaib was “way off on the facts” concerning the situation in Israel.
“Unlike you, I have never prayed on the Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site, because Israel limits prayer there to Muslims – no Jewish or Christian prayer is allowed. Israel bends over backwards to secure Muslim worship at Muslim holy sites,” Friedman said.
Tlaib had accused Israel of wrongly attacking worshippers at the Al Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount, tweeting, “I was 7 years old when I first prayed at the Al Aqsa with my sity. It’s a sacred site for Muslims. This is equivalent to attacking the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for Christians, or the Temple Mount for Jews.”
“Israel attacks it during Ramadan. Where’s the outrage @POTUS?” she said.
Omar tweeted Monday, “Israeli air strikes killing civilians in Gaza is an act of terrorism.”
Ocasio-Cortez accused Israel of “forcing families from their homes during Ramadan and inflicting violence.”
“It is inhumane and the US must show leadership in safeguarding the human rights of Palestinians,” she tweeted.
New “Squad” member and Black Lives Matter activist Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) tweeted Monday, “As someone who has been brutalized by police, I continue to stand in strong solidarity with Palestinians rising up against military, police, and state violence.”
“Congress must stop funding human rights abuses by the Israeli military,” she said.
Mount Zion says
I’m so sick and tired of politicians acknowledging that the jihad squad is way off and not taking action against them . Just kick them out of the positions they’re holding , they are by no means americans because their solidarity lays somewhere else , that is with jihadis and anti-americans and they have shown that many times.
Keith O says
MZ, I’d go a step further and say what they are doing and saying is borderline treason.

>Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who is also the MSP for the area, said she disagreed fundamentally with Home Office immigration policy.
>She said: “This action was unacceptable. To act in this way, in the heart of a Muslim community as they celebrated Eid, and in an area experiencing a Covid outbreak was a health and safety risk.”

Britain is doomed
Ecosse1314 says
These libtards take the position that Western countries have an obligation to take in every economic refugee that wishes to come to them.
They are oblivious to the cost of maintaining health housing and education. Like all leftards they believe in the magic money tree where cash materialises from thin air
Boycott Turkey says
Why did the police release them the police should have used tear gas on the crowd and called for backup and continued those police should be sacked in my opinion they didn’t do there job
Ecosse1314 says
In Scotland these days the polis are more interested in thought crimes and whether somebody has been called a naughty name.
Boycott Turkey says
Thought crime ? you mean people who have thoughts like Islam is not a religion of peace well I’m guilty then of thought crime Scotland will end up becoming like Pakistan with blasphemy laws soon
Ecosse1314 says
Got it in one BT. And there’s a bill going through Holywood at the moment that is not far off blasphemy law.

These scumbags represent their backward, ignorant, bigoted and primitive constituency. The aim of the Democrats is to exponentially increase the numbers of these lowlife cretins into our country. They are subversive and should not only be out of congress, but out of the country. And Comrad Bernie should go with them.

Title of article reads members who support terrorism don’t belong in congress so in that case there shouldn’t even be a congress as most of its members support terrorism Like Ilan Omar who doesn’t care about America is just abusing her position to support Palestinian hamas Erdogan and imran Khan who are beyond evil I don’t know what to make of Biden I saw him giving a speech the other he can hardly talk and just mumbles
Infidel says
In the current congress, MJT and Lauren Boebert are the only 2 congress(wo)men who seriously have my respect. Most of the others showed their true colors on January 6th, and what’s more went on to elect Liz Cheney as their Conference Chair. They only voted her out 2 days ago due to major rumblings. Elise Stephanik has a pretty flimsy voting record on quite a few issues: I’d have preferred MJT to have gotten this position
Kevin McCarthy too needs to go: I agree w/ Steve Cortez on that. Have a leadership of Steve Scalise, Jim Jordan and Lauren Boebert to signal to us that they’re serious about the Trump agenda, and not merely jumping on the bandwagon to keep themselves from getting primaried
Anita says
Totally agree. So sick of the Rinos, so weak and ineffective. Living under unelected tyrants has turned the USA ?? into a banana ? republic. Amerizuela.
Daniel Triplett says
Agreed, get rid of McCarthy, and put a combination of Scalise and Jordan in the #1 and #2 position, and make Boebert #3. She’s my favorite lady on Capitol Hill. MJT is great too. I wish they could all be like them.
BlackSabbath says
Jihad squad should be in front of the firing squad.

Makes sense.
Walter Sieruk says
In all fairness, all three of them together with their Red /Green alliance agenda do make a a fitting group.
They ,truly ,deserve each other .
On a more serious note , it has been written “Though they join forces, the wicked shall not go unpunished.” The Bible Proverbs 11:21. [N.K.J.V.]
