(Getty CNN screenshot) Juliette Kayyem, formerly the highest ranking Arab-American woman in the Obama administration, rebuked Rashida Tlaib in an op-ed for The Atlantic as Tlaib fends off charges of antisemitism from political opponents.
Kayyem revealed she had "met Rashida Tlaib in 2009, before she was elected to Congress, when she was a young Palestinian American newly serving in the Michigan House of Representatives." She described Tlaib as a "mesmerizing presence: attentive, sociable, and seemingly fearless."
But in her piece, Kayyem directly responded to Tlaib's controversial support of a pro-Palestinian slogan that is widely seen as a declaration for the elimination of Israel.
"By amplifying a loaded slogan, the Michigan representative isn’t helping anyone’s cause," Kayyem wrote, adding that Tlaib is "amplifying activist rhetoric that, to many ears, casually deploys the language of annihilation."
Kayyem, who is of Lebanese descent and worked in the Obama administration's Department of Homeland Security, argued that Tlaib's comments are especially damaging to Palestinians who are trying to separate themselves from the terrorist organization Hamas, which massacred 1,400 people, many of them civilians, in southern Israel on Oct. 7.
"At a moment when many Palestinians are taking pains to distinguish their cause from that of Hamas—whose actions triggered a brutal Israeli-military response that is killing innocent civilians in Gaza—Tlaib is defending one of the terror group’s preferred tropes," Kayyem wrote of the Palestinian slogan. "That she has a relatively benign interpretation of it is irrelevant."
She continued: "Rather than making reasoned arguments that might win other people over, Tlaib has made herself the story by defending From the river to the sea."

The Muslim Brotherhood was/is still a key component of the BHO regime.
An interesting article by Juliette Kayyem her families assimilation in America. All Arabs are not alike and her experience has clearly been different than Tlaib's. Fox identifies her as Arab four times in the article. Once as of Lebanese descent. That she's a Lebanese Christian whose family likely fled religious persecution, not once, though that's likely the greatest difference them. And yes, she's likely a liberal which is irrelevant.
Yep, and they continue to infiltrate.
Yes, he’s sympathetic.
I’m sure anyone connected to Obama isn’t upset that Tlaib believes this. They are mainly upset that she said it aloud. They’ve pretty much fooled a majority of Americans. Why ruin that?!
In other words: tone down your rhetoric. We need to mask our desire to annihilate Israel.
I am not seeing a rebuke in that response.
Taquiya demands this be demanded— and it is all a head fake to protect active Islamofascists. This is being done throughout the muzzie world— this rewriting of the violent Quran for the purpose of continuing to fake out the Infidels of every other religion. Islam not being a religion at all.
Will believe this is corrected when the Saudis wipe out the billionaires who run/own Hamas and get all the money from ripping off other foolish muslims—those 4 living in Qatar. Post Gaza there will be many underground Hamas waiting to be promoting— they will have to be “denazified” like in post wwII Germany (which did not get them all... see E. Germany and the Stasi— all good german socialists. People like Putin who ran Stasi types for the KGB in E. Germany).
MB is the group who murdered Anwar Sadat. It should be remembered how insidious they are. And do not forget the Huma Abedin connex through her mother. Or Valerie Jarrett’s connection to Iran.
Obamaumao is STILL at it—living it up like a 9-11 hijacker the night before suiciding. He is one of the worst- and something seriously wrong with this sociopath. From long ago.
Good points. BHO is as evil as they come.
Yep, they certainly do.
Bttt.
