Tlaib, Squad introduce resolution recognizing 'catastrophe' of Israel's creation
FOX NEWS ^ | May 17, 2022 | Ronn Blitzer

Posted on 05/18/2022 4:40:09 PM PDT by artichokegrower

House members led by Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., introduced a resolution Monday calling for U.S. recognition of the "Nakba," a term meaning "catastrophe" that is typically used by Palestinians to refer to the establishment of the state of Israel.

The resolution was submitted a week and a half after Israeli Independence Day, which coincides with Palestinian commemoration of Nakba Day. It calls for the U.S. to "commemorate the Nakba through official recognition and remembrance," while claiming that this "refers not only to a historical event but to an ongoing process of Israel's expropriation of Palestinian land and its dispossession of the Palestinian people that continues to this day."

They’re toast if they don’t.

And if they don’t know what that means, well...

It has always baffled me how Jews could vote for the biggest
racists on the planet.

Hamas-Affiliated Gazan Journalist In Article On Occasion Of Nakba Day: Palestine Was Lost Because Palestinians Heeded Advice Of Arab Regimes To Leave Their Homes

May 18, 2022

On Nakba Day this year (May 15, 2022), Ibrahim Al-Madhoun, a Gazan journalist affiliated with Hamas, published an article on the Hamas website palinfo.com discussing the reasons for the Nakba and for the situation of the Palestinians today. Titled “The Nakba from a Different Perspective,” the article claims that the Palestinians left their homes and villages in 1948 in compliance with the advice of the Arab armies, who promised to fight on their behalf but failed to deliver on this promise. This, he says, is what caused the Palestinians to lose their homeland.

Bertina, B. J. (1970). zaal loopt leeg [The hall is empty]. Netherlands: Stichting IVIO. p.23.

To cite just one example: In the period from 1920-1940 I miss Hadj Amin el-Husseini... Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, the one who was the instigator of the riots of 1938 and the same who is immortalized in a photo with Hitler. Besides, nothing is said about the entire period from 1920 to 1945, except about the strike.
And it is precisely this period that is so important in history, because it can tell you a lot about the separation that then occurred between Jews and Arabs.

The last word has not yet been said about the reasons for the Palestinians’ flight: the Lebanese newspaper Sada al-Janub has called for flights; the Jordanian Daily, Felastin, of 17.05.1955 describes how the evacuation of Akko of 17.05.1948 went according to plan; in the Felastin of 19.02.1949 and in the Cairo Daily people call for an evacuation.

All this while the Jews sometimes asked the Palestinians to stay (see e.g. the placard of the Haifa Worker’s Council).
No, Dr. Wagtendonk, you have been misinformed a bit.

Also the disaster of Deir-Yassin would not have happened if the Arabs had not started firing after the ‘white flag’ had been raised. Moreover, the culprits were severely punished. I do not deny that the Palestinians have become victims.. but the history must be well described and then it is noticeable that the problem would not have arisen to the same extent if the Arab governments had not manipulated with the Arab Palestinians and that the vast majority of Arabs would have been absorbed into Israeli society.

Like they care about us.

We’re embarrassing to them.

And, candidly, it’s an abomination in the eyes of Judaism for a bunch of largely apikoros to call themselves Jewish.

For the same reason the Left demands unlimited immigration from the middle east and Africa into Europe.

Europeans are also not entitled to their own land, according to the Left.

Or Syrians who immigrated looking for work.

Are you sure Tlaib is a Moslem? She should wear a burqa, or at least a head covering, but doesn’t.
