Rep. Rashida Tlaib has courted controversy with remarks suggesting the 'Israeli occupation' was to blame for the bombing death of an Israeli teenager in the West Bank.
Tlaib's remarks on Friday came in response to the death of Rina Shnerb, 17, who was killed in a bomb blast while hiking with her family near the Dolev settlement, northwest of Jerusalem.
The Israeli military said it was being treated as a terrorist attack. It was not immediately clear if the device had been planted in advance or thrown.
Tlaib was recently at the center of an international row after she was first denied, and then granted, a visa by Israel to visit her grandmother in the West Bank, but then refused the visa saying it came with unspecified 'restrictions.'
In her latest remarks, Tlaib expressed sympathy for the slain Israeli teen but drew criticism from some for her language.
'This is absolutely tragic & horrible. My heart goes out to Rina's family. More than ever we need to support nonviolent approaches to ending the Israeli occupation and guaranteeing equal rights for all,' Tlaib wrote on Twitter.
'Extremism that puts innocent lives at risk moves us no closer to peace,' she continued.
One Twitter user responded: 'I appreciate your comment. However calling Israel's presence in the territories an 'occupation' is false and hostile language and not conducive to peace.'
Another disagreed: 'What else to call it? It's an occupation. Your unwillingness to call it what it is is not conducive to peace'
Israel has controlled the West Bank since 1967, and even the terminology for the situation is hotly contested between pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian advocates.

Of course, it's the Jews fault. Like the Holocaust, I'm sure Rena's death gives the Congresswoman a "calming feeling." Democrat's should be proud of their prominent member.

Thats rich coming from a supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah.
Churchill said it best:
A quote from an 1899 book by Winston Churchill, "The River War", in which he describes Muslims he apparently observed during Kitchener's campaign in the Sudan
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.
There is going to be a firm line demarking two sides: anti-Jewish, anti-Israel versus pro Jewish, pro Israel.
The “cultural Jews” (as comedians, movie stars, Hollywood and TV producers and directors and Jews in average life who don’t ever go to a congregation for worship) never cared about Israel anyway. One I know personally said “That Netanyahu is too warlike He’s going to get them into a war.”
Question: Will such Jews drop being Democrats (like their mommies trained them to be as tots-—for the little guy, give people on welfare a helping hand to get going,etc.) or not? They hate Trump (their mommies told them to hate such people). But will they be smarter than the Jews before WWII who upheld Germany as the cultural peak of civilization and good place to sit out the battles because it would never really have a majority against Jews)?
The other Jews (me) are a minority (24% voted for Trump) within the minority. We must speak out against the Dems.
Of course she did. After all, the person who actually placed and detonated the bomb has nothing to do with it.
Idiot...
The Palestinians rant about the necessity of wiping out all Jews then try to rationalize individual actions of terrorism. Who do they think theyre fooling?
Reshita is a typical Muslim. Whatever violence they perpetrate is always someone else’s fault.
LOLARMAOOTF!
And why shouldn’t Israel allow this vile creature to visit?
The Jew-hating, Jihadiphile left will excuse, justify and celebrate any crime, any act of war, and any war crime committed by the Palestinians against Israelis.
Let the MOSSAD take out our trash...
Michigan, Detroit in particular, has fallen.
Damn shame.
It’s always the battered wife’s fault!
Let the soulless Tlaib run her evil mouth, which will only stoke more rage among Trump supporters.
She’s worth far more alive than dead, I’m sure Mossad has already decided.
Its always the battered wifes fault!
She and her squad friends are guilty of treason. She is an Islamic terrorist dressed as a Congress woman. She believes in sharia and not US law.
Tlaib is only a representative of how deranged, hateful, and just plain stupid muzzlimes are. Of course, there are a few good ones, but they allow themselves to be completely overshadowed by the majority who are like Tlaib. With her pitiful ugly mug smeared with its laughable RED lipstick (You wanna make sure we all know where your ugly hate spewing mouth is, honey?), she always reminds me of a mucus covered garden slug, ever so squishable.
Beautiful girl......
