REP. RASHIDA TLAIB, Democrat of Arab Palestinian heritage from Michigan, plans to host an anti-Israel hate-fest with anti-Semitic groups at the Capitol Building on Wednesday that decries the rebirth of the historic Jewish State of Israel as a “Nakba” (catastrophe).
NY Post The event titled “Nakba 75 & the Palestinian People” uses the Arabic term for the events surrounding the founding of Israel – Nakba – which means “catastrophe.”
“May 15th marks 75 years since the beginning of the Nakba, which means ‘catastrophe,’” reads a description of the event, which will be held at the Capitol Visitor Center. “Seventy-five years ago, Zionist militias and the new Israeli military violently expelled approximately three-quarters of all Palestinians from their homes and homeland in what became the state of Israel.” (LIES)
The organizers of the event also say they hope to educate members of Congress and their staff on the “ongoing Nakba to which Israel continues to subject Palestinians.” (MORE LIES)
The above statements about the so-called Nakba are well-known Arab lies and propaganda. Below are the facts:
One of the groups behind the event, Jewish Voice for Peace, despite its name, is described by the Anti-Defamation Leagueas a “radical anti-Israel activist group that advocates for a complete economic, cultural and academic boycott of the state of Israel” and that “celebrates figures who have been convicted of engaging in terrorism.”
Tlaib, one of the most notorious anti-Israel House lawmakers, has made numerous wild claims about the Jewish homeland, including being an “apartheid” state that targets Palestinians and claiming a person can’t be progressive if they back Israel.
Last month, Tlaib criticized House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) for characterizing Israel as being “conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that we are all equal,” by invoking the term “Nakba.” “Speaker McCarthy wants to rewrite history but the apartheid state of Israel was born out of violence and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians,” Tlaib wrote in a May 1 tweet. ”75 years later, the Nakba continues to this day.”
Last year, Tlaib authored a resolution, backed by other members of the “Jihad Squad,” demanding that the US “commemorate the Nakba through official recognition and remembrance.” (And was rightly ignored by House members)
It would be nice if Tlaib “spent as much time helping Michigan’s 12th District as she spends demonizing the world’s only Jewish state.” The real ‘catastrophe’ is Rep. Tlaib and her allies’ refusal to engage with Zionism in good faith. Fact checks haven’t stopped them because they hold ideology above accuracy; as long as they ignore the reality of Israel’s past, they can’t participate in honest conversations about its present and future.
Tlaib, the daughter of Palestinian immigrants, said in a tweet at the time that “We must acknowledge that the humanity of Palestinians is being denied when folks refuse to acknowledge the war crimes and human rights violations in apartheid Israel.”
Republican lawmaker fires back at Rashida Tlaib after she viciously attacks the Jewish state.

Don’t be shocked. It’s what you’d expect to come out of the mouth of a Muslim. Expect more and more as they immigrate here, and reproduce at high rates, and elect their own.

The former Miss Harbi is also affiltiated with the Democratic Socialists of America. Per capita income in Detroit, with a population that is 78% black, is $21K and 32% live in poverty (2021). It is ranked #1 as the most dangerous city in America by CBS News. Shouldn’t Rashithead be focusing on her constituents instead of regurgitating blatant lies about Israel?

Adolph Hitler is alive and well and spreading his wings. How does the west hope to exist with this kind of madness running wild.
