Pro-Hezbollah activist posts photos with Rashida Tlaib at swearing-in ceremony
The Washington Times ^ | January 14, 2019 | Valerie Richardson

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Michigan Democrat, was called out Monday after Palestinian activist Abbas Hamideh, a staunch defender of the terrorist group Hezbollah, posted photos of the two of them posing at her swearing-in ceremony in Detroit.

Mr. Hamideh tweeted a photo of himself Saturday with Ms. Tlaib along with the caption, “I was honored to be at Congresswoman @RashidaTlaib swearing in ceremony in #Detroit and private dinner afterward with the entire family, friends and activists across the country.”

Critics were quick to point out that Mr. Hamideh, a co-founder of the pro-Palestinian group Al-Awda, which means “right of return,” has a history of praising Hezbollah leaders such as Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and declaring that Israel has no right to exist.

In December 2015, Mr. Hamideh called convicted terrorist Samir Kuntar a “legendary Hezbollah martyr,” days after he was killed in an explosion in Damascus. Kuntar was convicted of murder and terrorism for his role in a 1979 attempted kidnapping that resulted in the deaths of four Israelis but was released in a 2008 Israeli-Hezbollah prisoner exchange.

Max Samarov, executive director for research and campus strategy of the pro-Israel group Stand With Us, said that Mr. Hamideh has a “long record” of incendiary rhetoric.

“Just one example: He called Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah ‘the most honorable man on earth,’” Mr. Samarov said, referring to a February 2016 social media post. “Hassan Nasrallah has made genocidal threats against Jews, he has actively aided the dictator Bashar al-Assad in the mass murder of the Syrian people.”

Mr. Samarov said he was unaware of any other member of Congress meeting with Mr. Hamideh. Ms. Tlaib’s office did not return immediately Monday a request for comment.

She should be re-called and stripped of her "election"

There's no way a foul mouthed muzzie like her could ever legitimately be elected in a United States election .....

Unfortunately, nobody, except conservatives, cares. And the msm is not going to let non-conservatives, even hear about it, even if they were to care.

Likely she’s from a predominately mussulman district and as such she is just representing her constituents who agree with her every utterance.

Good post! I can’t answer your question but I would like to know the answer also.

That’s a good rundown with specifics from the Jewish Virtual Library, I remember those events from when they happened.

In my view Tlaib not only doesn’t deserve a seat in our government, she’s not worth a glob of spit.

Which only goes to prove republicans don't care. I notice they are backbiting one of their own and not much from them on these racist islamist.
