Representative Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) slammed the Israel-U.A.E. agreement announced on Thursday, which commits the two countries to establishing full diplomatic relations and commits Israel in particular to suspending its annexation of territory in the West Bank.
The agreement makes the U.A.E. the third Arab Middle Eastern nation to establish formal ties with Israel, joining Egypt and Jordan. In exchange for diplomatic relations, Israel agreed to suspend efforts to expand its territory in the West Bank.
Tlaib, who is of Palestinian descent, is a supporter of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, which seeks to pressure Israel into giving concessions to Palestinians living under its jurisdiction.
“We won’t celebrate Netanyahu for not stealing land he already controls in exchange for a sweetheart business deal,” Tlaib wrote on Twitter after the agreement was announced. “The heart of the issue has never been planned, formal annexation, but ongoing, devastating apartheid….This Trump/Netanyahu deal will not alleviate Palestinian suffering—it will further normalize it.”
Tlaib has used her position to advocate for Palestinian rights, however her advocacy has been overshadowed in some cases by association with outright anti-Semites. The Michigan congresswoman has an ongoing relationship with activist Zahra Billoo, who was expelled from the Women’s March in 2019 for controversial past statements, including that backers of Israel support “baby killers,” and that the FBI recruits mentally-ill people to join ISIS.
8 Because of their support for a boycott of the country, Israel in 2019 announced it would refuse to grant Tlaib and fellow BDS-supporter Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) entry ahead of their scheduled visit. While Israel subsequently granted Tlaib permission to visit her grandmother in the West Bank on humanitarian grounds, Tlaib rejected the visit.
Tlaib and Omar were initially set for a tour Israel and the West Bank led by a Palestinian nonprofit called Miftah, which has published several pieces of anti-Semitic material. In 2013, Miftah published an article alleging that “the Jews used the blood of Christians in the Jewish Passover.” Miftah also republished an American neo-Nazi article accusing the Jews of controlling the media, and has glorified suicide bombers.
This is just great. Basically letting this “celebrated” member of The Squad show to people here what she and her friend Omar are really about (as if they have not done so yet on many other occasions).

The essence of the deal concerns Israel and the UAE, establishing diplomatic relations, not the palestinians. And to the extent the UAE got Israel to agree to suspend annexation of territories beyond the Trump plan borders, they got a benefit for the palestinians. Who, as usual, refuse to negotiate anything relating to Trump, as they did for 8 years under Obama
Two more years of her crap thanks to the jerks in her district.
Seems the land stealing/occupation was done by trans-Jordanians who identify themselves as dirt seeing how they don’t own and never have owned the land of Israel. It’s like renaming a Chevrolet a Ford even though it was always a Chevy.
This worthless , ugly ,Pal POS needs to be 86,d from our government and our country.
Black team Patriots, you have a mission.
Do the country a huge favor.
Root out & eradicate the 5th column weeds
So not...not means she will celebrate Israel reclaiming what God gave to them.
How many of those BTPs do you suppose there, by percentage of their race?
well, since its Israel’s land to begin with, what other land is she Not praising Bibi for not stealing?
I would give Iran to Israel at the drop of a hat, but the way iran is going with its vicious IslamoNazi dictatorship, something else will most likely get dropped on it soon
It’s called a concession. No one is asking her to celebrate it. Both sides accept it as part of a bigger deal that benefits everyone.
Instead of hanging onto grudges and biting their nose to spite their face.
That’s called negotiation.
If she thinks the point of negotiation is that you get everything you want and you give the other side nothing in return, then she should read The Art of the Deal and then she will understand why (to paraphrase Obama) Trump is President and she is not.
She’s angry. That’s a good sign something positive happened.
If you clowns hadn't got your butts kicked after staging a massive attack on Israel, you might have something to complain about.
Haven’t heard anything from Biden or Heels Up yet.
Muslim women are ugly because of natural selection. In the normal world, pretty woman are preferred by the dominant males. But when you cover them up, one woman is as good as the next. That is kind of the Muslim motto...
Well said,my friend. The amount of history this ignorant moose doesn’t know is counterbalanced by her grotesquely hideous,flattened nose.
You know, I got the wrong squad member with the brother comment. I still stand by what I said.
Spoken by a woman who’s entire religion is based on taking land from others and killing those that don’t convert.
Tlaib is the base of the Democrat Party.
I went to read articles on the topic from various leftwing sites.
Generally, they simply ignored it.
Those that mentioned it had articles: (1) either saying it was no big deal or (2) saying Biden did it (somehow) or (3) bashing Israel.
Without fail, the comments were to the effect of “kill the Jooos. We hate Joos.” Mind you, they talked around it a fair amount. But the invective and hatred was clear.
It’s getting to be a worrisome time to Jewish again.
And the concern will, once again, come from the communists and socialists, like the Nazis and Soviets.
It's always about the poor so called Palestinians, the crazy obsessed people who still want to throw the Jews into the sea. In their own words, they will never accept anything less the destruction of Israel.
If this new agreement with the UAE and Israel stands, that will make 3 Arab countries who are working with the peaceful Israelis. If we could just turn Saudi Arabia in the same direction, it would be an historic realignment in the Middle East. This is good, but just the start. I believe many other anti-Israel countries will follow suit since they have a common enemy regarding Iran.
If Obama had brokered the same deal she would be praising him to the skies.
