Tlaib's Anti-Semitic Hate Elicits Stunning Support From Democrats-TheLeft sets into Jew-hate overdrive
Just when we thought the Democratic Party could stoop no lower into Corbynism, we are treated to comments made by Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich), which were stunningly breathtaking in terms of their sheer mendacity and revisionism. In a podcast interview with Yahoo’s Skullduggery, Tlaib noted that she always has a calming feeling when thinking of the Holocaust because it was her Palestinian ancestors who provided safe haven for the Jewish survivors of post-Holocaust Europe. Then she lamented about the high cost her ancestors endured because of their alleged benevolence toward the Jews, and cited the loss of their homes, land, livelihood and human dignity as examples.
Tlaib, who is an avid supporter of the anti-Semitic BDS crew, ended her revisionist version of history by hoping for a one-state solution. This is a pernicious euphemism for flooding Israel with millions of hostile Palestinian “refugees” and their descendants, and is a common refrain for those wishing for Israel’s destruction.
Tlaib’s lies were so outrageous and revisionist that it’s difficult to believe that her interviewers allowed them to go unchallenged but unchallenged they went. Perhaps their lack of challenge was a function of ignorance or perhaps something more nefarious was at play; either way, it is incumbent on those interested in furthering the truth to rebut these fabrications whenever they rear their ugly heads.
We begin to deconstruct Tlaib’s grotesque lies and distortions by first addressing her ridiculous claim that her Palestinian ancestors provided Jews with safe haven. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. With a few notable exceptions, Palestinian Arabs were vociferously hostile to their Jewish neighbors. In 1920-21, 1929 and 1936, Palestinian Arabs initiated violent, large-scale riots against Jews often culminating in wholesale slaughter of civilians. The most notable of these was the 1929 Hebron massacre where 59 Jews, men women and children, were murdered by their Muslim neighbors. Many more were seriously wounded, and women were raped. A common refrain by Muslim rioters during these violent outbursts was “Falastin bladna wa al yahud clabna,” which translates to “Palestine our land, the Jews our dogs.”
These anti-Jewish riots were instigated and orchestrated by the Muslims’ chief spiritual leader, Haj Amin al-Husseini. Husseini was deeply anti-Semitic and fostered excellent relations with Hitler and his chief SS henchman, Heinrich Himmler. Husseini was on Hitler’s payroll, received a lavish Nazi salary and conspired with Himmler to form the Waffen SS Handschar battalion, an all Muslim battalion whose thugs wore fezzes emblazoned with Nazi insignias. The battalion played an active role in murdering Jews who resided in the Balkans. After World War II, some joined the armed ranks of their Palestinian kinsmen in an effort to continue Hitler’s genocidal aims.
The Palestinian nexus with Nazism did not end with Husseini. Several prominent Palestinian figures, whose only commonality with the Nationalist Socialist Party was their shared hatred of the Jewish people, forged deep bonds with the Nazis. Among them was Fawzi Kaoukji, who commanded Arab terror gangs during the 1936 riots. Kaoukji spent most of World War II in Nazi Germany acting as a propaganda tool for Hitler. Following the war, Kaoukji commanded the so-called Arab Liberation Army, whose forces, intent on destroying the nascent state of Israel, tried but failed to overrun Jewish communities in Galilee. Another insidious character was Hassan Samaleh, a Palestinian Arab terror commander who also spent much of the war years in Germany performing the Nazi’s bidding. In addition, during the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict, the Arab side recruited numerous mercenary ex-Nazis to fight for their cause.
In many ways, Tlaib’s comments represent a form of Holocaust revisionism as well for she completely whitewashes the role Palestinian leaders played in eradicating European Jewry. The 1936 Arab riots led directly to the issuance of the infamous 1939 White Paper by the British Mandatory authorities. In an attempt to placate the Muslims and curtail their violence, the British curbed Jewish immigration to just 75,000 souls over a five-year period; this at a time when Jews were desperately trying to leave Europe for safer shores but were instead, cruelly turned away. The dreadful fates of the passengers aboard the MS St. Louis and MV Struma represent direct products of perfidious British policies, which were prompted by Palestinian terror and violence.
Tlaib’s ancestors, the so-called champions of safe haven for the Jews, rejected outright the 1947 United Nations Partition Plan, sparking a conflict which resulted in their defeat. Far from benevolence, the Palestinians exhibited hate, xenophobia and anti-Semitism in the extreme, and likely would have perpetrated mass ethnic cleansing and a second Holocaust had they won the war. The anti-Semitic attitudes exhibited by the Palestinians in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s are no different than they are today.
Tlaib’s shockingly anti-Semitic comments were rightly condemned by President Trump, the GOP, and Jewish groups. As for the Democrats, after a period of disgraceful silence, they shockingly but unsurprisingly rallied behind the freshman lawmaker. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer claimed that Tlaib’s words were taken out of context and in a grotesque form of moral inversion demanded that Trump and the GOP issue an apology to Tlaib. As for Tlaib, she accused her critics of engaging in “Islamophobia.” It’s the old, tired story of the victimizer playing the victim card.
This stunningly shameful reaction by Democratic Party heads demonstrably shows us how the Democrats are hedging on the issue of anti-Semitism and galloping further and further to the Left. Fear of alienating the radical left-wing of the Democratic Party has muzzled centrist Democrats. But this level of cravenness represents a double-edged sword for the Democrats. Voters who were once card-carrying Democrats and loyal to a fault now watch in dismay and horror as the malignant cancer of anti-Semitism takes root within the Party they once called home. In 2020, Democrats will pay the price for their hedging and cravenness.

2 oceans separated us from this reality. Build the wall.
It’s not surprising that Democrat leaders support Tlaib. That’s just the way the Left is these days. Nothing trumps a Muslim.
But what is surprising - and sad - is that come 2020, most American Jews will still vote Democrat.
Soros told Pelosi and hoyer to get on board since tlaib’s is his gal.
I don’t thinkk most of them care anything about Israel.
My pop was from Italy. Both mom’s parents were.
If this situation or something like it existed with Italy and I had to read ANY party bashing it and its people, and in extension recent descendants over here, I WOULD NEVER EVER VOTE FOR THAT PARTY!!!!
And I don’t know how many election cycles it would take for me to start voting for them again even if they STOPPED the nonsense!!
NOT ONE Jewish person in this country should be voting D!!!
Think about this...
The liberal leftists call us conservatives “Nazis”...
The REAL Nazis were supported by Arabs and Muslims and they hated the Jewish people...
The liberal leftists support Arabs and Muslims and they hate the Jewish people...
Now, WHO are the “Nazis”???????
The democrap party has chosen *slam and is willing to let m*slims kill thousands of humans.
I’m still astonished that Yahoo is even considered a “News” source, and that they have a feature called “Skullduggery” !!!
bttt
Tlaib is a Muslim.
All Muslims should hate Jews and us infidels.
Why? Because Allah hates us and it is explicit in the Koran.
What better motivation is there in this world than doing what God wants done? - Tom
Listen......if the majority of American Jews vote for the Democrat Party candidates.....let them and let them live with the horrible “goodies” that the Democrat Party Muslims & Jew/Israel Hater, have in store for them. “SAD”!!!
I mean, folks...you can lead a horse to water....but, you cannot make him or her drink. American Jews are far from the sharpest knives in the drawer. Sadly, the horror history of the past awaits them right on these American shores, if the Democrat Party comes into power and controls their (Jews) destiny!!! Go figure?
I don’t understand why it is stunning. Anybody who watches their behavior would fully expect it
> I don’t think most of them [American Jews] care anything about Israel. <
You might be right. But they’ve got to know - deep down - that the radical Muslims want every Jew dead. And the Democrats who excuse these constant Muslim outrages, they are enablers.
I’m convinced that a radical Muslims would kill every Jew - and infidel - on Earth if he/she could. Without hesitation. But the secular Muslims, I’m not sure. What’s in their hearts?
And will the next Democrat presidential candidate get the overwhelming Jewish vote - again?
To fundamental Muslims Secular Muslims are heretics and no better than us infidels .
That is why so many so-called Muslims get killed by the true believers in Allah. - Tom
If Jewish Americans don’t care then I’m not going to be second hand offended for them. 50% of the DNC’s donations come from Jewish people so they obviously don’t care all that much.
