As a result, Republican Representative Max Miller from Ohio introduced an appropriations amendment on Monday that would effectively prohibit the flying of any foreign flags, including Tlaib’s, in Congress.
National Review (h/t Nita) “The halls of Congress belong to America. They should be reserved for flags that embody our great nation. The Palestinian flag should not have a place here,” Miller posted on X, in response to a Washington Examiner story about the flag. “That’s why I sponsored an appropriations amendment to end this silliness,” he said in reply to the photo of Tlaib’s flag-adorned door.
While foreign flags cannot be promoted on Capitol Hill under the amendment, it does allow for flags of U.S. states, territories, or possessions to be displayed as well as the prisoner-of-war/missing-in-action flag.
Tlaib, a far-left “Jihad Squad” member of Palestinian descent, has been extremely critical of Israel during her time in Congress, especially in the last few days since Hamas’s barbaric invasion of Israel began Saturday.
Videos over the weekend showed Hamas terrorists laughing and smiling as they murdered over 1,000 Jews and took young girls and old women prisoner. This is what Gaza looks like right now. If you’re a Palestinian, you can thank Hamas, they did this to you. Not Israel. pic.twitter.com/leUoKgD75X

As she does whenever she’s behind a microphone, the Muslim Democrat congresswoman suggested Israel is an “apartheid government” that inevitably provoked Hamas to attack.
According to Tlaib, the correct and only way for Israel to respond to the terror it faces is by “lifting the blockade, ending the occupation (What occupation? There has not been any Israeli presence in Gaza since 2005), and dismantling the apartheid system (it isn’t apartheid, it is self-defense against terror attacks by Palestinians) that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance,” she said in a recent statement posted to her Instagram account. (Gee that’s funny, Arab Muslims serve in the Israeli government, hold high-ranking officer positions in the Israeli military, not to mention work as doctors, engineers, professors, and more in Israeli institutions. How many Jews can say the same about Arab Muslim countries?)
Other members of the Democratic ‘Jihad’ Squad also received criticism from colleagues on their side of the aisle after condemning Israel. Representative Ritchie Torres (D., N.Y.), for one, called the Squad members’ comments about the “largest single-day mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust … reprehensible and repulsive.” Torres argued the U.S. should continue providing military support to Israel given the circumstances.
Tlaib erected the Palestinian flag outside her office in January 2023, and has had it up ever since, despite complaints from other members of Congress.

Let her have her shitty little flag. Every normal and patriotic American should rip this flag down and should she bitch about it then shove the little flag in her ugly mouth and send her packing. That and only that is what this vermin understands so let us give it back double.

What a country!
A RINO presidential contender, Nikki Haley, outlaws the Confederate Flag in South Carolina as governor and stands idle as BLM terrorists tear down statues of Columbus.
But the same conniving witch is utterly silent when a congressional Muslima baghead flies a PALESTINIAN flag of hate?
THIS is what’s wrong in America today and it’s killing us. It’s called “Political Correctness.”

There should be NO flags other than the US and their respective states’ in OUR halls of congress.
The Woke Ender says
Now more than ever, it should be glaringly OBVIOUS that anyone who’s pro-Palestine at this late stage is an atrocity sympathizer.
This Muzzie bitch wasn’t already a Jew hating, anti-American piece of shit undeserving of a platform (or respect.)
If she loves the fake country of Palestine so much, she can fly her ugly ass over there to give aid and comfort to her comrades, possibly fight along side them if she’s feeling brave that day.
Bet she won’t last longer than a couple days if she put her money where her mouth is. 😂

When the absolute ugliness you carry on the inside surfaces to your outside for all to see, you have someone like Tlaib. She is no longer able to hide it now.
NoHalalAl says
I agree. If this is the standard they desire then ,say, the Confederate flag would be equally as welcome.
