So let’s talk about this tweet and whether accusations against Tlaib are just right-wing propaganda or legitimate.
During the campaign, Tlaib claimed to support a 2-state solution, only to then turn around and admit to only supporting 1 state after she won the primary. That led to even far-left JStreet withdrawing their support. haaretz.com/us-news/.premi…
After she was elected, Tlaib covered up Israel on a map in her office with a post-it note that said Palestine.
Problem with one-state is that Jews wouldn’t have a place in such a state. Even now, Palestinians are being sentenced to jail and death just for selling land to Jews.
Tlaib has also refused to answer questions as to whether she supports the PA, which pays terrorists and their families to kill Israeli civilians. Or even whether she supports Hamas, the gov’t in Gaza, which governs Gaza, has killed Americans, and is a designated terror group.
When Former CNN Contributor Marc Lamont Hill got in trouble for using the Hamas slogan “Free Palestine From The River to the Sea” and advocated for terrorism against Israelis, Tlaib posted a petition defending him: freebeacon.com/politics/tlaib…
Tlaib publicly endorsed the anti-Semitic BDS movement. She has not supported a boycott for any other country, including the Palestinian territories being led by pro-terrorist governments. Explanation for why BDS is anti-Semitic:
Tlaib celebrated her inauguration to Congress with far-left activist and Women’s March co-founder Linda Sarsour, who was already facing her own controversy for an extensive history of anti-Semitic statements and associations.
Then last week Tlaib sent a blatantly anti-Semitic tweet using the classic dual loyalty accusation to attack supporters of a bi-partisan anti-BDS bill in Congress. Even the ADL was forced to call her out for this. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/freshm…
Finally, this week it was discovered Tlaib invited a blatantly anti-Semitic Hezbollah and Hamas supporter to a private family dinner celebrating her ascent to Congress. That has led to condemnation from Republican AND Dem Jewish groups. foxnews.com/politics/jewis…
You might be able to argue one or a few of these isn't sufficient evidence, but combined it presents a damning picture of antisemitic tendencies and associations. You don't need to be "right-wing" to recognize that reality.
Most damning: This extensive record has received almost no coverage from the mainstream media and no comment from Dem leadership in Congress. If you search for the last story I mentioned, almost all the links are either from conservative or Jewish news sources.
I'll keep adding to this thread until our esteemed media actually decides to ask Tlaib or her colleagues about this record. Here is another association Tlaib has w/ an antisemitic pro-terrorist activist (Deena was a speaker at CAIR's reception for Tlaib):
I'll just keep adding this to the list. Maybe one day a mainstream outlet will actually show some interest in actually holding Democrats accountable for the bigotry in their caucus.
Wow. Even with everything in this thread, I was shocked by some of the content in this video. @israel_advocacy went through some posts of the people Tlaib identified as her closest friends and campaign workers. They are truly shocking.
Going to add this here. This is who they are and who they choose to associate with. A major stain on Democrats that they have chosen to defend or be silent about this:
Just going to keep adding the daily examples of Tlaib's antisemitisim here so it will be easier to keep track of when a bunch of people who have been excusing it try to pretend they didn't know later on:
It's Rashida Tlaib promoting and defending another obvious anti-Semite.
Any chance the press will ask her about the pro-terrorist, anti-semitic, and anti-US military views of the person she is openly defending/praising here?
I stopped adding to this thread last year, but I'm going to restart to keep a record. Here is Tlaib lying about police clashes to try to portray those attacking Jews trying to visit the holiest site in Judaism as the victims:
Here is AFT President Randi Weingarten, the person many would argue was most responsible for keeping schools closed during Covid, cheering on this pick.
This stuff is legitimately hilarious because it shows how little these guys know about anything.
Putting aside that Sinwar’s main combat experience is just murdering innocent people who couldn’t fight back and he died while trying to run away after hiding like a rat in tunnels behind women, children, and hostages…
Netanyahu didn’t just serve in the IDF, he was a captain in an elite unit that was injured in actual combat several times. Including when he was shot in the shoulder during the raid to take out the Black September terrorists who hijacked flight 571. He was one of 16 commandos who dressed as airline mechanics and took out the hostage takers during that raid. Whatever else you think about him, he was a legit badass who has the medals and scars to prove it.
Everything is an alternate reality. This guy would be afraid of blood while the guy who hid behind women and children, and literally was caught with money and fake documents near the border, was a brave fighter.
As a side note, Netanyahu’s brother was later the sole Israeli military casualty of the Entebbe rescue.
A hundred Israeli commandos flew to Uganda to rescue passengers on another hijacked flight.
They rescued 102 passengers after taking out all of the terrorist hijackers and 45 Ugandan soldiers.
The Chuck Norris Delta Force movie was partially based on that operation.
So just to clarify because I think it’s important to note:
The indictment alleges that the founders of the company, Lauren Chen and her husband, intentionally deceived the influencers mentioned below (seemingly Dave Rubin and Tim Pool) regarding the source of the funding.
“Founder 1” is Lauren Chen, who gained these contacts when she worked for RT between March 2021 and Feb 2022.
When they were trying to sign the influencers who recognized some red flags, the fake person they sold as the main investor in France set up a meeting but mistakenly tried to show up to it at the Moscow time for meeting. Then googled the time in Paris.
There has been a lot of discussion about whether Israel, a country w a nearly 20% Arab population with full legal rights, is an "apartheid" state.
But the accusation often comes from supporters of surrounding states and territories. So let’s look at some of those for comparison:
Saudi Arabia:
Religious rights- Saudi legal system based on Sharia law. All forms of public religious worship outside Sunni Islam are considered illegal. Converting from Islam is punishable by death. Christians and Jews cannot build places of worship.
Women’s rights- Women must obtain permission from a male guardian for most actions.
LGBT- Homosexuality is a criminal offense.
Qatar:
Religious rights- Qatar’s legal system is based on Sharia law. All forms of public religious worship outside Islam are considered illegal. Building non-Muslim places of worship is severely restricted.
Women’s rights- Women must obtain permission from a male guardian for most actions.
So let's talk about a story that didn't get sufficient coverage from a few years ago and why it is still relevant today.
The below security footage likely saved Armaan Premjee's life.
In 2017, Premjee was a normal USC student who went out to the bar for a night of drinking. He met another USC student there. He went back to her dorm and slept with her. Something rather common at college campuses.
But after her friends discovered them and she got alcohol poisoning, the girl claimed she had no recollection of the events and claimed she must have been raped. The police arrested and charged Arman under the theory that the girl had been too drunk to consent.
Lucky for Armaan, there was security footage that showed the girl initiating the sexual encounter and signaling to her friend outside the bar that she wanted to have sex with him. After seeing the video, the judge in the case dismissed it.
But that’s not all there is to the story…
USC’s Office of Equity and Diversity did its own hearing & expelled Armaan despite the footage. In addition to ignoring the video, USC did not allow Armaan’s lawyer to speak at the hearing.
At the time, Obama-era Title IX rules which limited due process rights were in place.
Vice President Selina Meyer: “It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day. Every day it is time for us to agree that there are things and tools that are available to us to slow this thing down”
“We will work together, and continue to work together, to address these issues, to tackle these challenges, and to work together as we continue to work operating from the new norms, rules, and agreements, that we will convene to work together..”
