McCarthy took decisive action on Tuesday evening by preventing an anti-Semitic event organized by Rep. Rashida Tlaib, intended to commemorate the “Nakba,” a term used by Palestinians to describe the perceived “catastrophe” of Israel’s establishment as a Jewish state, which was expected to be attended by several anti-Israel groups, some with known links to terrorism.
PJ MediaMcCarthy’s office confirmed to the Washington Free Beacon that he intervened to secure the Capitol Visitor Center space originally reserved by Tlaib for the anti-Semitic event. Instead, the speaker will lead a bipartisan briefing commemorating 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.”
“It is unsurprising but appalling that the featured speaker at this event will be a Member of Congress who describes the only Middle Eastern country to give equality and voting rights to both Jews and Arabs as an ‘apartheid’ state.
According to the report, Tlaib was originally slated to be the main speaker at the event, alongside several organizations known for supporting the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. One of these organizations is Jewish Voice for Peace, which has been described as a “radical anti-Israel activist group” and has faced criticism for glorifying Palestinian terrorism.
Additional organizations include Emgage Action, a Muslim advocacy group that supports the BDS movement and alleges that Israel practices apartheid, and Americans for Justice in Palestine Action, an advocacy group that bemoans the so-called influence of Jewish money in American politics.
The future of the event organized by Tlaib and her cabal of anti-Semitic groups remains uncertain in light of McCarthy’s intervention.

I’m afraid we won’t have a McCarthey in the future.
BareNakedIslam says
What do you mean?
Az gal says
Meaning, the anti American, anti Israelis will get their way in the future, I’m afraid.
BareNakedIslam says
I wouldn’t doubt it.

Some people seemed disparaging of McCarthy when he was appointed House Speaker. Many disparaged him as a RINO, but I liked him when I heard he was a supporter of Israel and from what I’ve seen and heard so far, he is doing an OK job.
Shutting down this racist hate-fest hosted by this ugly-faced illegitimately installed “congresswoman” just raised my opinion of McCarthy. Well done.
BareNakedIslam says
It took a lot of guts for him to do that. He is better than expected as Speaker.

Must have really pissed her off, expect plenty of nasty ranting coming out of the nasty looking face of hers. I have one remaining brick from a project, will donate it, in person, to help close off that spewing cesspool of a mouth.

If only!

I’d like to know how this wretched leper ever got elected to congress…?
BareNakedIslam says
Money from CAIR and its terrorist affiliates in Qatar

No surprised, her congressional district is packed with muslims and leftist loonies.
leoniepipe says
A leper is a good description of her. Other words come to mind: scurrilous, scrofulous, poxy, just altogether awful. She has a face that’s permanently twisted with hatred and anger unless cosying up to her equally atrocious muzzie friends.

McCarthy is doing a good job!
