Rashida Tlaib says thinking of the Holocaust provides her a 'calming feeling....
Washington Examiner ^ | 12 May 2019 | Philip Klein

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., has made yet another shocking and historically ignorant claim: That thinking about the Holocaust gives her a "calming feeling" because her Palestinian ancestors provided a "safe haven" for Jewish victims of the tragedy.

Tlaib, a close ally of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who is no stranger to anti-Semitic controversies herself, made the latest statement on a podcast called "Skullduggery" in an episode titled "From Rashida with Love."

"There’s always kind of a calming feeling I tell folks when I think of the Holocaust, and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors — Palestinians — who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence in many ways, have been wiped out, and some people's passports," Tlaib said just after the 28 minute mark. "And just all of it was in the name of trying to create a safe haven for Jews, post-the Holocaust, post-the tragedy and the horrific persecution of Jews across the world at that time. And I love the fact that it was my ancestors that provided that, right, in many ways. But they did it in a way that took their human dignity away and it was forced on them.”

I'm sure Media Matters, FactCheck, Snopes, the ACLU, J Street, the ADL, and the SPLC will get right on this, just not in a good way.

The immigration wave of 1882, Rothschild’s investments in wineries, and the Balfour Declaration of 1919, was all to provide Jews with a haven after the Holocaust, fully supported by all Palestinians during the 1920 pogrom, 1929 pogrom, and 1933 through 1937 Intifada./s

"a lot of folks talk about obliterating Muslim countries"

Not the countries, just their populations. Consider that most Humanities college students think segregation is a good idea.

History is harsh. It's worse if you can't remember it.

> The Mufti of Jerusalem played a major role in bringing about the Holocaust. <

Some people say that the Mufti was in league with the Nazis. But there is no evidence that. Oh, wait. There is plenty of evidence.

I wonder if these pictures also give Rep. Rashida Tlaib a "calming feeling".

History revision plus history ignorance. And most likely knowing the real history and deliberately distorting it.

Yeah, there's nothing like the warm snugly home for the holidays feeling you get standing near ovens cooking bodies in winter. It's to die for.

One has to suspect that this is what is really going on inside those innocent-and-oppressed-looking hijabs you see all too often in your daily “American” lives.

I’m sort of glad they got this power so they feel freer to spout off like this. Show the enabling commies what they’re protecting.

Rashida Tlaib says thinking of the Holocaust provides her a ‘calming feeling ... imagining she was turning on the Zyklon B valves to give the nice Jews a shower.

This woman would happily run an extermination camp for not only the Jews but Christians and Conservatives.

John Brennan would show her how to do it properly.

Jewish victims of the tragedy

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tragedy
Definition of tragedy.
1a : a disastrous event : calamity.
1b : misfortune.
2a : a serious drama

It only took a couple of weeks for 9/11 to be
downgraded from outrage to tragedy.  From
mass murder to something unfortunate.

Outrageous events generate, well, outrage.
Tragedies generate yellow ribbons.  As if
we can mourn ourselves to victory.

I say the Jewish were victims of more than
tragedy.  As were those of 9/11.  Political
correctness leads to softened heads when
what's called for are hardened hearts.

As well as this worked, expect to see 100 more like her in the next election.

Ms. Tlaib should read a book on Middle East history. Over 95% of the land to which European Jews migrated when Israel was established was PURCHASED. it was PURCHASED VOLUNTARILY, at peaceful free market price. It was neither seized, stolen, nor expropriated - you lunatic.
