The reality is that the “Palestinians,” who weren’t “Palestinians” in 1948, were not forced out by the Israelis. They were told to leave the area by the Arab Higher Committee. Get the facts in The Palestinian Delusion.
“EXCLUSIVE: McCarthy Blocks Rashida Tlaib’s Anti-Semitic Congressional Event,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, May 9, 2023:
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy moved on Tuesday evening to block Michigan’s Democratic congresswoman Rashida Tlaib from hosting an anti-Semitic congressional event planned for Wednesday, the speaker’s office confirmed to the Washington Free Beacon.
McCarthy told the Free Beacon that he intervened late Tuesday to reserve the Capitol Visitor Center space where Tlaib was set to host a Wednesday event to mourn Israel’s founding as a “catastrophe.’ In its place, the speaker will lead a bipartisan briefing celebrating the 75th anniversary of the U.S.-Israel relationship.
“It’s wrong for members of Congress to traffic in anti-Semitic tropes about Israel,” McCarthy told the Free Beacon. “As long as I’m Speaker, we are going to support Israel’s right to self-determination and self-defense, unequivocally and in a bipartisan fashion.”
The anti-Semitic ‘Squad’ member came under fire this week after the Free Beacon reported that she would host the event alongside an array of anti-Israel groups, including some that have defended terrorism. Tlaib’s event was meant to celebrate the “Nakba,” a Palestinian term for the creation of Israel that loosely translates as “catastrophe.”
It is unclear how Tlaib and her supporters will move forward with the event now that McCarthy has occupied their meeting space. Tlaib, or another member, could potentially attempt to reschedule the event for a later date….
“Rashida Tlaib hosting ‘Nakba Day’ event in US Capitol,” by Lahav Harkov, Jerusalem Post, May 8, 2023:
US Rep. Rashida Tlaib plans to hold an event in the Capitol opposing Israel’s establishment this week.
“Nakba 75 & The Palestinian People” is set for Wednesday, to mark the “catastrophe” – the meaning of the word Nakba – of Israel’s establishment in a 400-seat auditorium in the US Capitol Visitor Center.
“Nakba Day” events portray the Palestinians as victims, rather than parties to a conflict with Israel. In 1948, five Arab armies attacked the fledgling Israel, with support from Palestinian leadership.
Her partners in organizing the event include organizations supporting the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against Israel and NGOs that have expressed support for terrorism. For example, Jewish Voice for Peace has glorified the First Intifada in which Palestinians killed close to 300 Israelis, and the Institute for Middle East Understanding lionized the Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Khader Adnan that died last week after a hunger strike and Ghassan Kanafani, who orchestrated the 1972 Lod Airport Massacre in which 26 people, including 17 US citizens, were murdered.
Events at the Capitol Visitor Center can only be held by request from a member of the US Congress or an Officer of Congress, indicating Tlaib’s direct involvement in organizing the event.
US Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) said that “there is strong bipartisan support in Congress for the US-Israel relationship, and no effort that attempts to rewrite history and question Israel’s right to exist has any hope of succeeding.
“At a time when that relationship is integral to our joint fight against terror, expansion of Israeli-Arab normalization efforts, and shared security and intelligence efforts, this narrative only sows divisiveness and hate,” Gottheimer stated….

here here Sir !…
it is time those antisemitic, leftist RACISTS bigots like Talib and Omar should be stopped on their tracks..

This ugly creature is a lying snake and has no business making laws for others to have to obey.
PRCS says
The ugly creature.
As she’s one of God’s creatures, how unChristian of you.
ExSoldier762 says
You obviously have exactly ZERO idea what Christianity represents. I pray that Rep. Talib comes into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ before it’s too late. Unfortunately for her and the rest of the squad, it says it in the First Book of the Bible Genesis 12:2-3
Genesis 12:2 And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing;
Genesis 12:3 And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
I’m a Born Again Christian and I absolutely revere both the Jewish people and the State of Israel. But plainly, those who do not (like the squad and Islam generally) will inevitably draw the wrath of the living God.
PRCS says
In labeling Tlaib ugly, somehistory forgot the Golden Rule.
Tlaib’s physical appearance is irrelevant to the discussion.
Perhaps you missed that.
Genesis also says God created Eve from one of Adam’s ribs.
Uh-huh.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
She could well have meant ugly on the inside, as opposed to the outside. You just assumed that it was the latter
PRCS says
Read her post below.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Good call by Speaker McCarthy
Westman says
Eight nations tried to annihilate Israel and failed. Tlaib knows full well that the “Palestinians” were advised by their own leaders to exit so they could exterminate Israel’s citizens without collateral damage. She purposefully lies, knowing that today’s university-age youth can’t find Israel on a map and latch onto every populist notion that suggests there is a “victim”.
And what of the Palestinian “leaders” who line their pockets like the Biden family on a scale that makes the Bidens look like wanna-be’s? Why no elections for PA head? Isn’t Abbas in the 18th year of his 4-year term?
Japan, with no resources but human labor and thought, created a dynamo after WWII. The Palestinians, giving up revenge and pooling talent, coupled with unity of purpose, could create a great state instead of chaos. Israel would not stand in their way. However the old Quranic way of conquest has been a dismal failure everywhere in the modern world.
Let’s suppose that Israel did not exist. Would Palestine be great or just another chaotic, poor Islamic state whose intelligencia runs off to live in other nations for opportunity?

Westman says,
“Let’s suppose that Israel did not exist. Would Palestine be great or just another chaotic, poor Islamic state whose intelligencia runs off to live in other nations for opportunity?”
You brought up a great point.
Ironically, unless they’re getting shot at, the Israelis treat so-called “Palestinians” better than Mahmoud Abbas treats them.
IMHO, without Israel, Palestine would be just another craphole islamic country.
somehistory says
And when the Israeli soldiers shoot back and would the terrorists, they doctor them in their hospitals.
James Lincoln says
Yes, somehistory.
somehistory says
Thank you, James
OLD GUY says
How American of her. She was elected to represent the people of America not Palestine or Islam.
somehistory says
More “blocking” needs to be done in her case and in the case of her fellow ugly snake, i.elmi.
It these two were thwarted enough, people might *wake* up to the fact that they work for destruction, theft, and death.
Like their father, satan the devil, they come to “steal, kill and destroy.’
Jesus named such people for all to see and know of what they are made, when He said they are “unwashed cups full of uncleanness, whitewashed graves full of dead men’s bones, serpents, offspring of vipers and children of their father, the devil.”
This lying creature is ugly inside and out. Foul things come out of the heart into her mouth, and she is defiled by them. Her evil thoughts show in her eyes. And she has made plain that she is a “rotten tree producing rotten fruit.”
Her Judgment will be according to her actions, her heart’s desire and her lack of repentance for her evil deeds and words. She has time to change, but that is doubtful.
PRCS says
Hypocrite: a false pretender to virtue or piety.
As a Christian, the repeated descriptions of Tlaib’s physical appearance as ugly exposes your hypocrisy.
somehistory says
r tlaib is an ugly person. She is full of hate and lies in order to get those who don’t know the Truth on her side.
It’s funny to me that some defend the ugliness that she is.
PRCS says
“This lying creature is ugly inside and out.”
somehistory says
The inside ugliness of a person, liar, hypocrite, murderer, rapist, shows on the outside. Some psychopaths can hide the ugliness for awhile, but when their evil deeds become too many, when these deeds become known, their ugly shows on the outside.
Ted Bundy was considered to be nice looking, handsome, until his true nature was revealed; then one could see the ugly evil in his eyes because he no longer tried to hide it.
tlaib is ugly because she is ugly. And she’s not smart enough to try to hide it. She says evil , ugly and foul things. Others are ugly too….many of them closely associated with tlaib. She should not be a part of a law-making government group.
To say otherwise is just not being Truthful.
commonsense says
Amen, somehistory.
somehistory says
Thank you, commonsense.
somehistory says
A belated thank you to Infidel.
I was mainly meaning the inside, but it oozes to the outside where everyone should be able to see it clearly for what it is.
Some people just refuse to see the Truth. About anything.
PRCS says
“I was mainly meaning the inside”
Sure.
You were referring to her physical appearance — which you’ve done before–and have been called on it.
Now, like a child caught raiding a cookie jar, you’re trying to convince others you didn’t.
You’re the hypocrite, here. The liar.
Some people just refuse to tell the truth.
Surely, Satan must have whispered in your ear and the message was overpowering.
Mike Foley says
For the life of me, I do not understand why journalists of all stripes – including those in Israel herself – insist on referring to these Arabs as Palestinians. There is no such thing as a “Palestinian.” Never has been, never will be. It’s nothing less than a complete, purposeful, and total obfuscation of a definitive and VERIFIABLE truth! Grrrrrrrr!
