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.”

Schumer can’t afford to have his anti-abortion stance in Israel exposed to Americans. She would do that to him in a heartbeat.

I know how CA ones feel with all the spears and arrows shot at them for what's wrong with Dem CA. It hurts but being behind enemy lines has advantages. We know who's who and where they area. May come in handy.
Uh, I mean for gift giving and party invitations of course.
You composed one of the best posts in a long time. Bravo.
We are in the hands of God and must repent and accept His Plan.
Not ignorant, stupid.
Someone is running her....
All this anti-Jew hatred is the worst in all my days. The worst. Should Trump win re election I will fear for America and just how long it takes for some serious prophecy with Israel. Syria isn’t over yet. Nor is Russia or Iran or Libya.
Satan is the tactical inspiration for the Democrat party. Check the dedication to Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals.” There is a move that just came out called “Hail Satan.” I haven’t seen it, though.
No he did not. There is death valley and siberia, but they are not countries or nations.
Groups such as Snopes will deflect and claim that Rashida does not mean what she says. Snopes pulled some real meverbal controtions to explain away Al Gore creating the internet. p.s. I hear a former pornstar and very Liberal dominatrix now write for Snopes.
No. that is Rep. Omar who committed such immigration fraud.
Snopes is lucky there's spellcheck.
Pretty good. I’ll just say a few of the dates are off. The Balfour Delaraion was 1017 and the massacre that killed about 500 Jews in Eretz Yisrael started in 1936.
I suffer macular degeneration now and my eyesight is poor.
It’s hard to explain things to people who are essentially disinterested, and have limited historical knowledge of the region. Though lots of people figure it out. To the extent the internet is demeaned for providing a platform for hate, it also provides information for people interested in making up their mind about issues. Long lasting mideas feuds, not much different that western Europe. Or Asia, these things have lives of their own, often unreated to reality. The garden, you’re right. Though there is no modern political agreement as to who are the weeds. I suspect that’s human nature.
You have my sympathy. I'm just getting old and I swear the danged print on *everything* is getting smaller. Some smart assed early 20s jackasses keep pushing down the font size on everything and laughing about, that's my guess. :^).
Oh, I see what you mean -- no, the spellcheck remark was directed at the porn star, she's obviously not too bright.
“There’s always kind of a calming feeling, I tell folks, when I think of the Holocaust.”

Just like their cousins the German Socialists of 1939.
no you got wrong and worse you won’t admit it.
See the other replies. You are “wrong” for declaring that.
