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.”

"She's not only hateful and anti-Semitic, she's ignorant."

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. HOWEVER, as an American and were I in Congress or the Senate and one of my colleagues disrespected my values and the values of others as Rashida Tlaib and Iihan Omar do, I would have no choice but to SHUN them as I would anything evil.

Couple of salient points from the article:

— After World War II, when the Jewish people declared the state of Israel, their official proclamation said, “We appeal - in the very midst of the onslaught launched against us now for months - to the Arab inhabitants of the State of Israel to preserve peace and participate in the upbuilding of the State on the basis of full and equal citizenship and due representation in all its provisional and permanent institutions.” Instead of choosing to live peacefully, however, Arab leaders encouraged Arabs to flee Israel, and the next day, the young nation was invaded by Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Iraq.

— The terrorist group the Palestine Liberation Organization was founded in 1964, three years before Israel occupied the West Bank in the Six Day War, territories that we’re now led to believe is at the heart of the conflict.

Israel remains the only truly representative government in the Middle East. And there are many Arabs who are citizens of Israel and can participate in the political process. Jews make up about three fourths of the populations. Arabs are about a fifth. So Israel was true to their word about offering equal citizenship from the beginning. The “Palestinians” can never be trusted. They break all of their promises. When given the opportunity for representative government, they choose terrorists.

God has preserved the Jews supernaturally and begun returning them to their homeland as He said He would. But He has also left them in a difficult dilemma to see if they are ready to fully surrender to Him and trust Him as a nation. No human being can resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Only God can.

Tens of thousands of Muslims fought for the Nazis in World War Two. DW spoke with historian David Motadel about whether pragmatism or anti-Semitism drove Adolf Hitler’s overtures and why some Muslim leaders backed him.

The liberal leftists call conservative Trump supporters “Nazis”, yet we Trump supporters support Israel while the leftist freaks support Islam...Just like the the real Nazis...

Rashida Tlaib,.....

Congresswoman Tlaib was introduced by Executive Director of CAIR Hassan Shibly Shibly invoked the Islamic war cry as he introduced her.”.....“Allahu Akbar! The first Palestinian-American Muslim Congresswoman, our dear sister Rashida Tlaib!”..... Hassan Shibly stated.

As she made her way up onto the stage to give her speech, Tlaib did something shocking. She leaned to the microphone and stated,.... “Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim!” ...Translated, this literally means, “In the name of Allah, the merciful, the compassionate.”

According to The Gateway Pundit “Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim!” is the “Islamic War Cry.”

Why do we continue to tolerate this creature, and her ilk, within the highest places of power in this country?

Figures Hitler would look kindly on a thug religion. Must have read about Jews being called pigs in the slimy little book. Hence no prob sending them in cattle cars to the slaughter.

Thinking of the Crusades provides me with a calming feeling. Except the 4th Crusade, that one was bad.

They may even advocate those comments.

I suppose I could post details and picture of the esteemed Amin al-Husseini, Arafat's Uncle{?}, an ally of Hitler. Attended the Wannasee conference to plan the elimatation of Jews from the face of the earth. Raised two SS divisions. Wanted by several coutries for war crimes, but was able to dodge arrest. The Brits and French thought of him as the one person who could unite the local Arabs, though there was no such thing as palestinians then. In fairness to the Brits, they wanted him arrested as a war criminal. But he moved around, Switzerland, France, Egypt. Bad guy, I hesitate to even think of virgin whats he's dealing with. Tlaib, there being no Nazi occupation of the mideast, no Arabs in the region saved Jews from the Nazis. The Jewkillers in the region were Arabs. She may be ignorant, but I rarely believe someone who reaches a position like this does it from stupidity. Shes a liae. A Jewhater. And knows where such power flows from on her progressive sice of the Democrat party
