My latest in PJ Media: Wait long enough, and everything comes around again. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), one of the wokest womyn in the world, has this week blazed bold new trails by calling for the revival of not one, but two tried-and-true practices that have inexplicably fallen into neglect in American politics: Jim Crow […]
Tlaib: Use only blacks as Detroit’s facial recognition analysts, whites “think African Americans all look the same”
One might almost get the impression that Tlaib wants to sow hatred and division between different groups of Americans. Now what could possibly be the purpose of doing that? “Tlaib: Use only blacks as Detroit’s facial recognition analysts,” by George Hunter, Detroit News, October 1, 2019 (thanks to Tim): U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib told Detroit […]
Rashida Tlaib and Her BFFs
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan) has received a lot of criticism for the surpassing crudity of her declaration about the President — “We’re going to impeach the motherf***er”– and in the last few days for offering the phrase for sale on a t-shirt — but less attention has been given to the company she keeps. As […]
Tlaib blames “Palestinian” honor killing on “toxic masculinity” and “Israeli military occupation”
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. […]
Palestinian organizations applaud jihad murder of 17-year-old Israeli girl
Despite the overwhelming evidence that the Palestinian “resistance” is really an endeavor designed to advance the Islamic jihad, far too many are a still being duped into believing that there is “Israeli apartheid,” Palestinian “oppression,” a history of “Palestine” that goes back thousands of years, and that Palestinians desire a fair “peace process.” The Palestinian […]
Rashida Tlaib criticized wall that stopped jihad suicide bombings
“Walls are destructive, not productive.” Yet this one was not destructive. It saved the lives of Israelis. Who could object? Rashida Tlaib. “Rashida Tlaib criticized the wall that stopped suicide bombings,” by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, August 21, 2019: PA terror leaders complain about Israel’s security wall, specifically because it stopped Palestinian suicide terror. […]
Tlaib blames jihad murder of Israeli teen on “Israeli occupation”
Tlaib wrote: “This is absolutely tragic & horrible. My heart goes out to Rina’s family. More than ever we need to support nonviolent approaches to ending the Israeli occupation and guaranteeing equal rights for all. Extremism that puts innocent lives at risk moves us no closer to peace.” She said not a word about the […]
Tlaib’s “Palestinian” village is wealthy and thriving as she whines about “oppression”
“War is deceit,” said Muhammad (Bukhari 4.52.268). Among “Palestinians” it’s a veritable art form. “Tlaib’s Palestinian village is thriving, but she is in denial,” by Akiva Bigman, Israel Hayom, August 21, 2019: What is it really like to live in the Palestinian village Beit-Ur al-Fauqa, where Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s grandmother and other family members live? […]
Rashida Tlaib and That Visit/Non-Visit to Israel (Part 2)
Let’s see what Miftah, the group that planned the trip to Israel/Palestine for Tlaib and Omar, left out of their itinerary, and why. No visit, apparently, was to have been made to Yad Vashem, which would have been an easy propaganda win for Omar and Tlaib. Feigned sympathy, a ready tear, some lines written in […]
What Tlaib and Omar Forgot to Mention at Their Press Conference
My latest in PJ Media: At her joint press conference Monday with Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) over their being barred from entering Israel, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) suggested that Israel was neither an ally of the United States nor a genuine democracy: “Denying a visit to a duly elected members of Congress is not consistent […]
Tlaib and Omar are all about weakening Israel, while staying silent on Hamas and Palestinian Authority
Indeed. And the establishment media gives them a pass on this, again and again and again. “Rep. Lee Zeldin: Tlaib, Omar all about weakening Israel, they stay silent on Hamas, Palestinian Authority,” by Rep. Lee Zeldin, Fox News, August 20, 2019: Rep. Zeldin: Omar, Tlaib telling lies to ‘play the victim’ in Israel dustup Israel […]
Rashida Tlaib and That Visit/Non-Visit to Israel (Part 1)
There are many aspects of Rashida Tlaib’s on/off/on again/off again visit to Israel/Palestine that are worth examining. Let’s take them in turn. First, there is the propaganda value of the whole absurd affair – what some are calling, the matter of optics. How do things look? No one quite knows who has come out ahead. […]
It’s all about the Benjamins: Far-Left group fundraises on Tlaib/Omar Israel ban
Was this part of the plan all along? After all, Tlaib and Omar set up the trip to ensure that they’d be barred. “A fundraising email sent by Democracy for America, a far left political action committee, implores readers to ‘chip in whatever you can to stand with her and [Rep.] Ilhan [Omar (D., Minn.)] […]
At press conference with Tlaib, Omar claims Israel is neither an ally nor a democracy
“Denying visit to duly elected members of Congress is not consistent with being an ally. And denying millions of people freedom of movement or expression or self determination is not consistent with being a democracy.” The sponsors of their trip have been linked to anti-Semitism and jihad terrorism. They had nothing to say about that. […]
Tlaib and Omar Weren’t Banned for Disagreeing with Israel
Their jihad advocacy is far worse than that. My latest in FrontPage: It is unlikely to come as a surprise to anyone except the most blinkered Leftist ideologue that Ilhan Omar’s response to being banned from entering Israel, along with her fellow antisemitic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, was outstandingly disingenuous. But she knows, when she retails […]
Rashida Tlaib’s media darling grandmother on Donald Trump: “May Allah ruin him”
“Trump tells me I should be happy Rashida is not coming. May God ruin him.” Some Arabic-speaking Christians use the word “Allah” for the God of Christianity; some (particularly the Coptic Christians of Egypt) studiously avoid doing so. For the sake of clarity, at this site I use the word “Allah” for the god of […]
House Democrats consider action against Israeli and US ambassadors over banning of Tlaib and Omar
Senior Democratic members of Congress are “are considering releasing a statement of no confidence” in Israel’s ambassador to the U.S. Ron Dermer and “opening an inspector-general investigation” into U.S. envoy to Israel David Friedman over Israel’s decision to ban Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar from entering Israel. The Democratic lawmakers are advancing the idea […]
Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib set up their Israel trip so as to maximize likelihood that they’d be banned
The whole thing was a setup from the start. Only the terminally naive will be surprised. “Don’t Be Fooled, Omar and Tlaib Maliciously Set Up Israel Ban,” by Katie Pavlich, Townhall, August 16, 2019: On July 17, 2019, Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar introduced a pro-BDS movement resolution on Capitol Hill. Her colleague, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, […]
AFDI Applauds the Banning of Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar from Israel
NEW YORK, August 15, 2019: The American Freedom of Defense Initiative (AFDI), one of the leading human rights organizations in the United States, on Thursday applauded the Israeli government’s decision to ban Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) from entering the country. The Israeli government announced that Tlaib and Omar would be […]
Ilhan Omar: “Trump’s Muslim ban is what Israel is implementing”
Trump doesn’t actually have a Muslim ban. He imposed temporary bans on several Muslim countries, along with North Korea, that could not or would not provide adequate data about people trying to enter the United States. Leftists and Islamic spokesmen have hyped this as a “Muslim ban” despite the fact that there are no restrictions […]
