Rashida Tlaib exposes the hypocrisy of her own party. |
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
It is not anti-semitic.
To those who believe it, cry more.
The pressure is on.
Trust me, by the turn of 2024, Israel will no longer be occupying the West Bank and Gaza Strip. It will end with the government dissolved, its political leadership banned and criminal charges for war crimes.
The Democratic leaning influencers who denounce the left and their concerns will soon find themselves without allies. The Democrats will end up losing their supporters going into 2024.
For the last five weeks, I seen folks on X, some whom I follow denounce the concerns about Israel. Some have even taking up to dehumanizing dissent. I mean literally these folks are falsely claiming the Gen Z generation is a bunch of idiots.
Wow, I am Gen X and the Millennial and Gen Z generation are not playing when it comes to issues that affect their votes,
Washed Up 45 has managed to pick up more support from Black men. About 30% of them are likely to vote for the former president. Young voters are not happy over American taxpayer money going to Israel and the influence of AIPAC on members. They are souring on President Joe Biden and Democrats in general. Arab Americans and Muslims are definitely souring on Democrats. Biden is giving a one sided approach to this controversy. He is definitely trying to do damage control by establishing a coalition on protecting Jewish and Muslim Americans. Because they are definitely riled up over this. They believe the remarks by Biden in the wake of Israel striking a Gaza hospital, lying about it being a Hamas rocket misfire, claiming he saw 40 beheaded "Israeli" babies and then walking back, saying it "was the other team," and giving aid and credence to a warmonger who is committing a ethnic cleansing in both the Gaza Strip and West Bank. Support for the president and Democrats dropped significantly.
The House honors Israeli victims. Not one member here mentioned the 11,000 Palestinians killed by Israeli air strikes and military attacks. |
Tlaib is an American lawmaker and activist. She is a Palestinian-American and a fourth generation Palestinian. She is one of 12 siblings who has parents who immigrated to the United States after the Nakba. She is a Democrat [for now] who is part of the Squad.
Tlaib, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MI) and Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) are the only three Muslim lawmakers in Congress. They all represent the Midwest.
Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota and New York have a large Muslim population
Biden carried Michigan by 1.2 points. Biden carried Minnesota by 2 points.
The Muslim support was 87%.
Now the censure.
On November 7, 2023, Tlaib was censured by a measure introduced by Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) for "promoting false narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel". 212 Republicans and 22 Democrats voted in favor of the censure.
The censure motion focused on a video posted by Tlaib on social media featuring the "from the river to the sea" slogan. The slogan is widely regarded as calling for the eradication of Israel and is described by the resolution as "a genocidal call to violence to destroy the state of Israel and its people to replace it with a Palestinian state extending from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea". Tlaib defended the slogan as "an aspirational call for freedom, human rights and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction or hate".
The motion also highlighted a statement made by Tlaib on October 8, calling for "dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance", and claims she made attributing blame against Israel for an explosion at a hospital in Gaza, despite the US Department of Defense sourcing it to a rocket fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
A previous censure resolution introduced by worthless lawmaker Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was unsuccessful. The resolution described Tlaib as "leading an insurrection" over a protest she was involved in at the Capitol, where 300 protestors were arrested.
