Tlaib Slams Israel-U.A.E. Deal: ‘We Won’t Celebrate Netanyahu for Not Stealing Land’
National Review ^ | August 13, 2020 | ZACHARY EVANS

Posted on 08/14/2020 1:04:50 PM PDT by SJackson

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.

What a Secretary of State for Biden Tlaib will make-—God forbid.

Good advertising point to tell Jewish voters. At least the ones who honestly care about Israel (most still do).

saying Biden did it (somehow

He did help, by empowering Iran. I'd like to think a war between Iran and Israel and her allies, an expanding group, could be avoided. But if not, those deaths are on Obama/Biden. Like many others across the region from Libya to Iraq.

So this Tlaib beast suffers from at least TWO derangements, Trump Derangement and Israeli Derangement Syndromes.

I wonder if there are others.

Must be awful being a Tlaib, can’t even pronounce her name.

"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."

I've been saying the same thing for years. Because the UN partition stipulated a Palestine in the three part Trans Jordan partition, the Jordan gutter people tried to take it over and were kicked out, then claimed part of Israel's partition. Then claimed Palestine for their nation, which had nothing to do with their new self-called Palestinians.. I may have this mixed up, but it went something like the above.

Please correct my chronology if wrong.

Have any idea who will be next to accept Israel and join the civilized world? I don't have any clue. Oman? Yemen? If only Saudi Arabia would join the fold. That would pretty much put Iran out of business. Problem is, SA is just not as westernized as UAE, Jordan, or Egypt and cling to their anti-western values.

Unfortunately I’m not at home where I have the complete layout of the whole fake Palestinian argument. Big thing is they never had a king or a president; they’re just a bunch of wandering vagabonds.

Probably not Quatar or Kuwait. Saudis will probably wait. Probably Bahrain or Oman.

There is Someone Else Who has something to say about this since He is the One Who gave it to the children of Israel in the first place: the land belongs to them by divine right and the so-called “Palestinians” are nothing more but squatters on Jewish land.

Exactly correct. And that One will deal with Kushner’s back stabbing “dealings” too.

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.

If Fundamental Muslims are involved it is a HUDNA.

Heretical Muslims may try to get along with the Jews, Fundamental Muslims will use the peace to re-arm. -Tom

___________________________________________________________

A HUDNA is an agreement between Muslims and non- Muslims where the Muslims reorganize until they are strong enough to do Allah's work and overcome the Infidels. -Tom

Good guess. The more the merrier.
