Many of them have shown me that Palestinian lives simply do not matter...

I am urging you. I am pleading with you. I am imploring you. Wake up! The irrational hatred of the Jewish people and the demonizing of Israel is reaching proportions so dangerous that if people of conscience do not stand up, speak out, and push back, Jewish blood will start flowing in America, England, and many other countries around the world. Wake up! When Muslims in Sydney Australia are chanting, “Gas the Jews” you know that violence is near.

House lawmakers voted Wednesday to torpedo a resolution censuring Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) for her harsh criticisms of Israel in the wake of Hamas’s deadly attacks last month. The effort required 23 Republicans, joined by all Democrats, to vote in favor of a procedural motion that blocked the disciplinary resolution from reaching the floor. The final tally was 222 to 186. The vote was something of a surprise: Tlaib, a staunch liberal who’s been harshly critical of Israel, has few fans in the GOP when it comes to Middle Eastern politics. It’s unclear why several Republicans came to her rescue...

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) called for an “independent investigation” into the bombing of a Gaza Strip hospital on Monday, continuing her refusal to accept US and Israeli findings they say show Islamic Jihad terrorists were behind the atrocity. “Media outlets and third-party analysts have raised doubts about claims and evidence offered by both Israel and the Gaza Ministry of Health, and I agree with the United Nations that an independent investigation is necessary,” Tlaib said in a statement. “I cannot uncritically accept Israel’s denials of responsibility as fact, especially in light of confirmation from the World Health Organization that Israel...

This week a rocket landed in the parking lot of a hospital in Gaza killing hundreds of non-combatants. The New York Times immediately spread Hamas' assertion that Israel was responsible. Others like the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, CBS, MSNBC, Rueters, CNN, Associated Press, and BBC did the same. These reports inspired violent protests in various Muslim countries throughout the Middle East. Audio and video evidence has since confirmed that the rocket originated from a Hamas unit trying to fire it into Israel. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich) dismissed the evidence and blamed Israel's "apartheid policies for driving Hamas to take...

LOS ANGELES, CA — Merchandising companies released an updated version of the iconic 'COEXIST' bumper sticker this week with the Star Of David removed and replaced by the image of Hamas paragliders. "The best way for everyone to coexist peacefully is by killing off the Jews," said liberal activist Molly Stanton. "It was high time we decolonized the 'COEXIST' message." According to makers of the sticker, the paraglider symbol of murderous Hamas terrorists encapsulates the freedom and tolerance that all true liberals yearn for. "This change helps convey how serious we are about peaceful coexistence," said sticker designer Deandra Martinez....
