House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Tuesday canceled Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s antisemitic event at the U.S. Capitol scheduled for Wednesday and will host a “bipartisan discussion to honor the 75th anniversary of the US-Israel relationship” in its place.
Tlaib planned a Wednesday event at the Capitol Visitor Center to mourn Israel’s founding. The event was to celebrate the “Nakba,” which is a Palestinian term for the creation of Israel that loosely translates as “catastrophe,” according to the Washington Free Beacon.
As the Washington Free Beacon detailed:
Tlaib was scheduled to headline the anti-Israel event with several organizations that support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, an anti-Semitic effort to wage economic war on Israel. They include Jewish Voice for Peace, a “radical anti-Israel activist group” that pushes the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and has come under fire for glorifying Palestinian terrorism. Other organizers include Emgage Action, another BDS supporter that claims Israel is an “apartheid state,” and Americans for Justice in Palestine Action, an advocacy group that claims Jewish money is infecting politics.
The invitation for Wednesday’s event accuses “Zionist militias” of violently expelling Palestinians from the region when Israel was created in 1948, and maintains that Israel continues to brutalize Palestinians.

More FU politics from McCarthy. This is the way it’s done, folks.
“This event in the US Capitol is canceled,” McCarthy tweeted. “Instead, I will host a bipartisan discussion to honor the 75th anniversary of the US-Israel relationship.”
BOOYAH!
Excellent.
McCarthy did great with his post Biden meeting presser, too.
70 percent of my People in the US don’t care enough to stop voting D.
Israel is under attack yet the Dem party roots for the jihadists
Instead he has to kiss the ring of that anti-white scumbag Jonathan Greenblatt at the ADL and have some phony "discussion" about U.S.-Israeli relations.
Why can't our elected leaders just focus on problems and issues pertaining to Americans?
because 70 percent of American Jews could give a rats a@@ if Israel were wiped off the map tomorrow thats the problem
“House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Tuesday canceled Rep. Rashida Tlaib”
Would be better.
I find it interesting that Tlaib, who is a Semite, is routinely accused of being anti-Semitic by people, many of whom aren’t Semites.
So far so good Speaker McCarthy
Good work, Kevin. The right somebodys were paying attention this time. I think the Nakba has been ‘celebrated’ at the White House in the past, possibly during the Obama years.
Why do some Freepers insist on ridiculous exaggerations?
I've lived in NYC and Los Angeles my enter life, and worked in the media. So I've been around lots of liberal, secular Jews. And almost all of them were fervently pro-Israel. Leftist on all issues, except on Israel.
Why do you suppose the Democratic Party is so pro-Israel? Yes, it is. Look at the Congressional votes on Israel. Almost every Republican and Democrat votes for the latest funding, or resolution of support, or whatever Israel wants.
Do you know that one progressive talking point is that Republicans are Christian Zionists who hate Jews, and only support Israel because they think its destruction will usher in Armageddon?
Ridiculous, I know. But the point is, both parties fervently support Israel by their actions, while accusing the other party of hating Israel. Weird, but true.
Immigration matters.
Well done Speaker! Next ensure Talib and likeminded racists sit on NO committees. None.
Its the colloquial meaning of it, cmon man.
Sometimes, a word or term loses its’ actual meaning because a majority of the public decide to use it for their own purposes.
Another example: African-American. (Elon Musk and Teresa Heinz Kerry are two actual African-Americans. Some would include late actor Omar Sharif, born in Egypt)
It’s also known as picking nits.
The American Jew for example that my mom knows, they dont care about Israel..they dont talk about what is going on over there, nothing..all they talk about(And they are in their 70s) is about “Abortion rights” that “The Republicans are going to take away their abortion rights” they are in their 70s, Id like to know what abortions they are still having
YES!!
