As Democratic congressional leaders Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Steny Hoyer (D-MD) rush to defend Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) for inventing a bigoted, alternative, antisemitic history of the Holocaust, it is important to consider Tlaib’s actions in the context of anti-Jewish bigotry on the one hand, and the galloping transformation of the Democratic Party into an anti-Jewish party on the other.
But first, it is important to make clear just how mendacious Tlaib’s fake history of the Holocaust is.
Tlaib made three key claims in her podcast with Yahoo! News. First, she claimed that Israel was established because of the Holocaust. Second, she claimed that the Palestinian Arabs in Mandatory Palestine/the land of Israel provided “safe haven” for the Jews in the aftermath of the Holocaust. And third, she claimed that the Jews repaid the Palestinian Arabs for their kindness by dispossessing and destroying them.
All of these claims are false from beginning to end. The Jews have had a continuous presence in the land of Israel for three-and-a-half millenia. Despite the destruction of the Second Jewish Commonwealth in 70 A.D. and mass Roman expulsion of the bulk of the Jewish people, Jews have continuously clung to their homeland, and Jewish exiles have returned to the land of Israel at every opportunity. Large Jewish returns occurred in the 15th century and the 17th century. Beginning in the mid-19th century, communities of Jews began returning in significant numbers. The advent of modern Zionism, in the late 19th century, which sought Jewish return to the land of Israel for the purpose of establishing a Third Jewish Commonwealth, led to the founding of large Jewish settlements and the creation of all the national institutions that formed the backbone of the Jewish state of Israel, which declared independence in 1948.

A good article. Worth clicking the link since it has to be excerpted. Short version, Democrats are about power, and truth can be sacrificed in pursuit of power.
This, then, brings us to the Democrats. Given the self-evident fraudulence of Tlaib’s account of history, if the Democrats were even mildly concerned about truth and fact, Pelosi and Hoyer would have immediately censured Tlaib for her bigotry. But instead, Tlaib was defended by Pelosi, Hoyer and dozens of other Democratic lawmakers and luminaries. Instead of assigning four Pinocchios to Tlaib’s malicious lies and castigating her call for persecuting Jews, Democratic media organs like the Washington Post launched an assault on Tlaib’s critics. Their defense of Tlaib the Jew-hater is yet another stunning sign of the rapid transformation of the Democratic party into an antisemitic party. What explains this?Tlaib and her antisemitic colleagues are successfully seizing control over the Democratic Party because their fake history, fake facts, and fake news about Jews jibe with the general progressive preference for ideological purity over objective reality; and for revolutionary goals and victim narratives over truth, norms, and law.
In the new world of progressive politics of the Democratic Party, the “truth” is whatever is ideologically convenient, rather than reality. In that new world, Tlaib can defend her lies with the claim that her critics have a “racist and hateful agenda,” and that “The truth will always win.” Because in the Democratic party today, “truth” means progressive dogma rather than actual truth.
Evidence of this state of affairs is everywhere to be seen. Facebook, Twitter, Google, and YouTube practice ever-escalating censorship of conservative voices. Conservatives are banned from their platforms, and shadow-banned from their followers. Conservatives’ websites are decommercialized and hidden in Google searches. The silencing of conservatives has little to do with the truth or falsity of the positions those censored express. Rather, conservatives are silenced simply because they aren’t progressive voices.
“Fact-checkers” in Democratic media outlets pronounce conservatives liars for stating facts that the progressives don’t want to hear. At the same time, the fact-checkers are struck mute when progressives make laughable claims such as that the end of the world is nigh (only twelve years away).
When Tlaib invents an entirely fake history of the Holocaust, painting the Jews as Nazis and Palestinians as their victims, Tlaib is stating a new progressive “truth.” She is defended because while her claims are both false and bigoted, they express an already accepted progressive dogma. Her stated goal of destroying the home of the world’s largest Jewish community is simply the logical conclusion to her fake anti-Jewish understanding of the world.
In the anti-fact, anti-reality environment that now dominates the Democratic Party, it made sense for Pelosi and Hoyer to defend her. And the situation will only get worse, faster than anyone can imagine.
It’s pretty simple... they hate America so they promote anything against it.
Well, here we see it. Our country is still relatively civilized, and we don't have camps and we don't have mass murder, but we see the anti-Semitism if we look for it. We see the media hide it. We see the politicians defend it. We're sliding in a bad direction (and not just on the topic of anti-Semitism) and a lot of people want to claim that they have no idea what we're talking about.
Democrats support antisemitism (Nazi Germany was antisemitic)
Democrats want to take away your guns (Nazi Germany took away guns)
Democrats strive for political correctness (Nazi Germany had secret police for suppressing ideas)
Democrats have ANTIFA (Nazi Germany had Nazi Youth Groups)
Democrats call Republicans Nazis....
What do you think????????
Exactly what my post #5 referred to...
A couple of years ago, I read up on the concentration camps. Turns out there were actually hundreds of them, of varying sizes. All over.
The Germans knew. Right down to the ground.
Long article but definitely worth the read.
At least the Nazi Youth had an air of respectability. They were clean and nicely dressed and were supposed to be the image of the "moral" superiority of Nazism and its future.
I am glad that ANTIFA appear as what they are.
What explains this?
Anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life criminals and collectives roam the planet.
Next thing you know, they'll be in America.
...oh...wait...
Actually, she is one of BarrySoetoro/ValJar puppets
The Jews were scapegoats for the pain of the Depression.
The German people were told the root cause of their suffering and pain were the Jews.
The German people were led to believe the Jews were rich oppressers, and they were the victims.
Sounds like what Barry Soetoro did for a living, first as a “Community Organizer” then as POTUS
Illustrated when Pelosi claimed "all Democrats take their oaths of office seriously while the Republicans do not".
BTW, great to see you are still here providing the REAL news on middle eastern and Jewish issues. The purposeful disinformation is coming so thick one needs a machete to hack through it. Thank you much.
Jexodus. It’s time.
Very good analysis.
I’d go further; commiepukes aka Dems actually hate truth. It’s like a silver stake or garlic to a vampire.
I want Republicans to do what they’re supposed to do. Infrastructure, fix budget/deficit, end ObamaCare, stop the legal slaughter of the preborn, do something about the invasion, stop War Mongers from ginning up Mideast War again. I personally support a wide spectrum of views in the House. We look foolish and give dems justification for their actions when we get in the mosh pit, vilifying people who don’t agree with us politically.
Never let leftists define history.
