Rashida Tlaib Is Pushing A Terrorist Narrative About Israel
The Federalist ^ | May 14, 2019 | John Daniel Davidson

Posted on 05/14/2019 1:15:23 PM PDT by detective

The congresswoman claims her Holocaust remarks were taken 'out of context.' But the proper context shows she’s pushing a terrorist narrative about Israel.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, along with 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, have accused Republicans of taking Tlaib’s comments about the Holocaust “out of context.” The problem is, when you put Tlaib’s remarks in the proper context, they’re far worse.

The most generous possible reading of Tlaib is that, in a discussion about why she opposes a two-state solution, she was trying to credit Palestinians for providing Jews a “safe haven,” and saying she’s proud of that—not just proud, but that it gives her a “calming feeling,” because at least her Palestinian ancestors tried to help.

The problem with such a reading is that as matter of history, it’s simply untrue, even laughable, as the Washington Examiner’s Philip Klein notes in a thorough fisking and my colleague David Harsanyi argues here. (The grand mufti of Jerusalem during World War II was a Nazi collaborator, for crying out loud.)

This isn’t the first time Tlaib has adopted the terrorist narrative about Israel. When Hamas militants in Gaza launched hundreds of rockets and mortars into Israel earlier this month, and Israel responded with airstrikes, Tlaib accused Israel of targeting “Palestinian children and families.”

I heard what she said on Mark Levin yesterday.

She said, as the article mentions, that Palestinians gave Jews refuge from the Holocaust and that the Jews repaid them by stealing their land and trying to wipe them out.

She says it euphemistically or indirectly in a strange passive manner.

But it’s clearly what she said.

It’s ok, the MoFo was just “misrepresented”.

The best and worst part about her and her buddy from neighboring Minnesota are...

Neither one of them are going anywhere. Our federal government has been letting these parasites in our country, like it’s their job and this is what it’s fostered. Only way she goes is: she gets locked up, she moves up to Senator or Governor, someone more radical than her challenges her. Outside of that, her district is solid haj that hates the West, loves mooching off the US taxpayer and scams the hell out of our immigration laws to increase their numbers.

Same thing goes for Omar. Her district is going to keep sending her back, no matter what. They agree with everything she says. Only her climbing the ladder or someone more radical than she, will get rid of her.

But, with them there and then with the things they do and say, I’d like to think there are some folks, that may be on the fence about some things, will finally realize that it’s time to shut the door on these savages and start sending them home. The sooner the better.

Talib has one option, become an America or resign her Congressional office, simply because she is not capable of defending the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, her oath of office. She prioritizes Islam over our Constitution and makes revisionist statements about history. Islam, A Religion of Peace: Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah." Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement" Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them" Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him." Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared," Kill any Jew who falls under your power." Ibn Ishaq: 327 - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’” .الاسلام هو شر لا مثيل لها ، ويجب القضاء عليه

Rashida Tlaib is the definition of a loose cannon. She turns everything into a victimhood for all “Palestinians” and everything becomes “the Jews’ fault”.

She wheels around and fires off these volleys, many of them landing right on the people who at one time were very solicitous of her presence, offending even those who may have originally been very supportive.

She is isolating herself from all but a small circle.

Why is it OK to quote Trump out of context (”There were good people on both sides”) but wrong to do the same to Tlaib?

(So far from offering Jews a safe haven), Palestinian Arabs rejected the United Nation’s partition plan in 1947, surrounded Jewish villages, cut off their food and water, and started massacring them. Like everyone else, Tlaib knows this. She also knows she can’t give her Palestinian forebears credit for helping the Jews while also casting them as victims of Jewish predation. By trying to have it both ways, Tlaib was actually doing something more subtle and insidious than historical revisionism with these remarks: she was mixing western and terrorist narratives about the creation of Israel.

Does anyone suppose Speaker Pelosi will ever wake up and smell the bacon about these Islamist's under her, what their mission is?

(1) TAQIYYA = tactical deceit. This is what you see at press conferences, interviews, in public statements, and
in apologies. In order to pretend.
(2) TAWRIYA = deceit by ambiguity (doublespeak, refusing to give straight answers, exploiting conflicts of definition, etc.)
(3) MARUNA = the temporary suspension of the customary behavior in order to appear moderate.
(4) KITMAN = deceit by omission (withholding key information)

Candor7, you wrote: Talib has one option, become an America or resign her Congressional office, simply because she is not capable of defending the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, her oath of office.

And, I know you what you meant was "in a nation that retained sanity and standards she would have one choice."

But you have to agree we are no longer a sane nation, we are something less and so in fact what detective said is more accurate:

Neither one of them are going anywhere. Our federal government has been letting these parasites in our country, like it’s their job and this is what it’s fostered. Only way she goes is: she gets locked up, she moves up to Senator or Governor, someone more radical than her challenges her. Outside of that, her district is solid haj that hates the West, loves mooching off the US taxpayer and scams the hell out of our immigration laws to increase their numbers.

And it raises the deeper question of how long a nation so divided can endure. What are the advantages of being a middle class American citizen now? We are mocked by our own politicians, called deplorable and irredeemable, force to pay the bills of people who hate us, impoverished paying for an ever larger government that does very little for us and seemingly never tires of doing things for everyone else, whether curing AIDS in Africa, shoring up defenses in Eastern Europe, saving Venezuela from their own bad decisions, providing free housing and phones to the voluntarily unemployed, etc. etc.

Yates said it best:

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Great description of muzzie insurgents.

Mistake #1 is attempting to make sense of what a Muslim terrorist says.

As irresponsible as they both are, and since both are Moslem, they are probably, as we speak, violating federal laws.

If they are, and they get caught, they will go to prison!

In the meantime, they are certainly not doing Democrats any good - in fact, they are doing Democrats much harm.

They can keep it up, even step it up, AFAIAC!

IMHO she is not interested in worldly praise from Infidels, but in doing what her God wants done. - Tom

“Talib has one option, become an America or resign”

Muslims don’t migrate to a country to assimilate but to conquer.
