Rashida Tlaib: We Palestinians provided safe haven for Jews

A Democratic lawmaker came under fire over the weekend, after she claimed that Palestinian Arabs living in the British Mandate prior to the establishment of the State of Israel “provided” a safe haven to Jews after the Holocaust.

Rashida Tlaib, a freshman Democrat representing Michigan in the US House of Representatives, said in an interview with Yahoo!’s Skullduggery podcast program Saturday that she felt pride in the fact that her “ancestors, Palestinians” provided Jews with a haven after the Holocaust.

“Let me tell you, I mean, for me, just two weeks ago or so, we celebrated, but just took a moment I think in our country to remember the Holocaust.”

“There’s always kind of a calming feeling when I think of the tragedy of the Holocaust,” Tlaib said, “that it was my ancestors, Palestinians, who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence, in many ways, has been wiped out … in the name of trying to create a safe haven for Jews, post-Holocaust, post-tragedy and the horrific persecution of Jews across the world at that time. And I love the fact that it was my ancestors that provided that in many ways.”

If a conservative were to have said something like that, we would have riots in the streets. How in the world do they keep getting away with that stuff? How???

Yeah, sure. Palestinians just love Jews.

The ignorance of the Congresswoman from Dearborn is only out shined by her hatred. No educated person with any knowledge of the region could make this statement. Where did she learn this nonsense? I hesitate to say she learned it from her family. Who she's taking fellow Congresscritters to meet. To learn the reality of the region.

shows the incredible difference in relative size of Israel and the Arab neighbors. There has to be some place where the downtrodden, homeless refugee “Palestinians” can live, right? No, just push them into tiny Israel.

Someone who used to live in Israel told me (close paraphrasing) “In Israel the Arabs living there say the Palestinians are looked upon by the Arabs in other countries as Americans look down upon the urban lifelong welfare recipients. Lazy, illiterate takers and nobody wants to support them in any Arab country. So, push them into Israel.”

Even with our billions of dollars in oil money to the Arab countries they don’t want to part with welfare entitlement money to support ongoing generations of 1948 “refugees” still sitting on the ground and waiting for handouts.
