44 Democrats Refuse to Vote in Favor of Resolution Condemning the Chant 'From the River to the Sea...'
PJ Media ^ | 17 Apr 2024 | Rick Moran

Posted on 04/17/2024 12:02:46 PM PDT by Rummyfan

Republicans in the House sponsored another "message vote," trying to embarrass the Democrats and expose their hypocrisy.

The vote this time was on condemning the Palestinian chant we hear at every demonstration against Israel: "From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will be Free." It couldn't be a controversial vote because who wants to vote for genocide?

A quick glance at a map will tell you that the space between the (Jordan) "River" and the (Mediterranean) "Sea" is occupied by the state of Israel. It's shorthand for the genocide of the Jewish people.

But no, says Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), whom the House censured for posting approving videos of the chant. No one is talking about killing anyone, right?

“From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate. My work and advocacy is always centered in justice and dignity for all people no matter faith or ethnicity,” she wrote.

No one is that stupid. So we have to assume that she knows exactly what would happen if Palestine was "free" between the "river and the sea."

"Aspirational" my butt.

Tlaib was not the only Democrat to vote against the "aspirational" resolution. There were a total of 44 Democrats who just couldn't help themselves.

“”From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will be Free.””

The so-called Palestinian people are free now where it not for their insistence in voting for Hamas who essentially imprisons them.

Both English grammar and critical thinking skills are shunned during the K-12 indoctrination years.

After HS graduation, the sheeple are primed for advanced indoctrination . . . . witness NYC and what they will do to an innocent man.

Outside of an armed revolt, or ONE JUROR THAT WANTS TO BE FAMOUS AND WEALTHY BEYOND THEIR DREAMS . . . . They're gonn'a crucify President Trump.

“Both English grammar and critical thinking skills are shunned during the K-12 indoctrination years.”

Then I’d expect ALL of the Democrats would CONDEMNING him, rather than some defending him. After all, they ALL have staff who can explain to them what it means.

...of course that assumes that these Democrats actually support Israel’s right to exist...which is obviously a BIG stretch.

Much adieu about nothing. Censoring words to gain favor with Israel. More importantly we either back them or abandon them.

Once everyone realizes that, they are finished.

Barry installed a bunch of them to head up government departments.

Palestinians have never had a homeland because no country, even muslim ones, don’t want them. But other countries will go to war to defeat Israel.

As for as the vote, the Constitution gives us freedom of speech even if it beyond stomaching.

Guys. We are better than this.

Leftist talk about “dog-whistles” and “shorthand” meanings. Leftists police speech.
Leftists cry when they hear words they don’t like.
Leftists call everything they don’t like “genocide”.

Why are we doing this?

Didn’t we just go through 8 years of being told that “Make America Great Again” was racist and was a dog-whistle for bringing back slavery?

My version is “From the river to the sea, Palestine shall cease to be”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “In the future, the state of Israel has to control the entire area from the river to the sea.”

Really, someone has to condemn that statement.

I’d bet the clothes on my back that every one of the 9 Maoist pigs from Massachusetts are among those 44.

It does not carry any penalty for making the statement.
So Congress is going on record for disagreeing with the sentiment.

On the other hand, it falls short of genocide — it is not calling for the death of all Jews — rather it is calling for all the land — which is horrible enough.

Are the 44 prepared to declare war on Israel? It sounds like it.

Pubbies more concerned about a chant than the First Amendment.

FTA: who wants to vote for genocide?

Democrats do. They support mass murderers since Lenin.
They support criminals of all sorts.
