Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said Friday that she was &#8220;enormously proud&#8221; of her daughter, Isra Hirsi, who was arrested Thursday while participating in an anti-Israel protest at Columbia University.
&#8220;I am enormously proud of my daughter @israhirsi,&#8221; Omar <a href="https://twitter.com/ilhanmn/status/1781453928887914927?s=46&amp;t=o-U3qwC25WnWaylJ0oeG7Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> on X. &#8220;She has always led with courage and compassion, from organizing a statewide school walk out on the 20th anniversary of Columbine at the age of 15, to leading the biggest youth climate rally at our nation’s Capitol at 16, and now pushing her school to stand against genocide. Stepping up to change what you can’t tolerate is why we as a country have the right to speech, assembly, and petition enshrined in our constitution.&#8221;

According to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/18/us-news/nypd-cops-enter-columbia-after-university-warns-anti-israel-protesters-to-clear-out/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Post</a>, over 100 students were arrested at the campus encampment on Thursday.

Earlier on Thursday, Hirsi also announced that she was suspended from Columbia’s partner school, Barnard College for participating in the protest.
“I’m an organizer with CU Apartheid Divest<a href="https://twitter.com/ColumbiaSJP"> @ColumbiaSJP</a>, in my 3 years at<a href="https://twitter.com/BarnardCollege"> @BarnardCollege</a> i have never been reprimanded or received any disciplinary warnings,” Hirsi <a href="https://twitter.com/israhirsi/status/1780980484203327780">tweeted</a>. “I just received notice that i am 1 of 3 students suspended for standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide.”
Other members of the Democratic &#8220;Squad&#8221; rallied to Hirsi&#8217;s defense after her suspension from Barnard and her arrest.
“What is going on here @BarnardCollege @Columbia? How does a student with no disciplinary record suddenly get to a suspension less than 24 hours after a nonviolent protest?” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) <a href="https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1781135013246808148" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a>. “What merits asymmetric crackdowns on Palestinian human rights protests?”

On Tuesday, the GOP-led <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-house-of-representatives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House</a> passed a resolution declaring the slogan &#8220;From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free&#8221; is anti-Semitic and must be condemned, the latest in a series of measures designed to express support for Israel.
Lawmakers approved the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-resolution/883/text?s=1&amp;r=87" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resolution</a>, which also says the slogan is &#8220;divisive and does a disservice to Israelis, Palestinians, and all those in the region who seek peace,&#8221; by a <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2024/roll134.xml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">377-44 vote</a> with bipartisan support.
Forty-three Democrats and one Republican — Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) — opposed the resolution. Nine members did not vote, while one — Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) — voted &#8220;present.&#8221;
Rep. Anthony D&#8217;Esposito (R-NY), a <a href="https://twitter.com/RepDesposito/status/1779993750552318142" target="_blank" rel="noopener">staunch</a> Israel ally who <a href="https://desposito.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-anthony-desposito-introduces-resolution-formally-condemning-river" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduced</a> the resolution, said in floor remarks that activists who recite the slogan are anti-Semitic and only &#8220;masquerading&#8221; as pro-Palestinian advocates.

&#8220;This slogan communicates one thing and one thing only,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It is not human rights. It is certainly not peace. It is the violent destruction of the state of Israel and the Jewish people that live within it.&#8221;
The vote took place a little more than six months into Israel&#8217;s fight against Hamas in the Gaza Strip following the group&#8217;s deadly terrorist attack on Israeli soil.
Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who is the sole Palestinian American member of Congress and is part of the leftist &#8220;Squad,&#8221; was among the 43 Democrats who opposed the resolution.
&#8220;We are seeing the same &#8216;messaging&#8217; bills on the floor every single week,&#8221; Tlaib said in a post to X on Tuesday. &#8220;These bills are just an attempt to distract from the genocide in Gaza.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) got testy with Fox Business Reporter Hillary Vaughn over a question about a rally in her home district where anti-Israel protesters chanted &#8220;Death to America&#8221; and called for the eradication of Israel.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/protesters-at-islamic-event-in-americas-jihad-capital-chant-death-to-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rally in question</a>, which took place in Dearborn, Michigan, featured a speaker named Tarek Bazzi, who is affiliated with the Hadi Institute. He said: &#8220;We have been asked in the past why our protests on the International Al-Quds Day are so anti-America. Why don’t we just focus on Israel and not talk so much about America? Gaza has shown the entire world why their protests are so anti-America. Because it’s the United States government that provides the funds for all of the atrocities that we just heard about.&#8221;
Attendees at the rally responded to him by shouting, &#8220;Death to America!&#8221; and &#8220;Death to Israel!&#8221;
Vaughn approached Tlaib in a hallway on Capitol Hill, asking several times whether She would respond to the chants. At first, the Michigan Congresswoman said she wouldn&#8217;t talk to anyone from Fox.

&#8220;Congresswoman Tlaib —&#8221; Vaughn began, but Tlaib interrupted before she could even get the question out.
&#8220;I don’t talk to Fox News! I don’t talk to Fox News!&#8221; she insisted.
&#8220;At a rally &#8230; in your district —&#8221; Vaughn tried again, but Tlaib pushed back.
&#8220;I’m not talking to Fox News.,&#8221; she said again.
&#8220;People were chanting &#8216;death to America.&#8217; Do you condemn?&#8221; Vaughn asked.
 &#8220;I do not talk to Fox News,&#8221; Tlaib repeated.
&#8220;But do you condemn chants of death to America?&#8221; Vaughn asked once more.
 &#8220;I don’t talk to people that use racist tropes,&#8221; Tlaib said then, suggesting that Vaughn&#8217;s network was guilty of that.
Vaughn pressed again, asking, &#8220;Why can’t you just say whether or not you condemn —&#8221;
But Tlaib interrupted her again, saying, &#8220;Because I don’t talk to Fox News.&#8221;

Vaughn tried one more tack, noting that some might see the &#8220;death to America&#8221; chants as racist.
&#8220;Is &#8216;death to America&#8217; racist?” Is chanting &#8216;death to America&#8217; racist?&#8221; she asked.
&#8220;Never talk to Fox News,&#8221; Tlaib said again, adding, &#8220;I’m talking about your guys’s racist tropes. You know, you guys are — you guys know exactly what you do. And I know you’re Islamophobic, but you guys gotta go deal with it on your own selves, not going to use me.&#8221;

Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer said she expects many voters to check the “uncommitted” box in her party’s presidential primary on Tuesday.
Whitmer appeared on <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/gov-whitmer-anticipates-a-sizable-number-of-uncommitted-votes-in-mi-primary-205013061539?cid=sm_npd_ms_tw_mj" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”</a> as Michigan voters headed to the polls to select their preference for the Democratic presidential nominee. While President Joe Biden is expected to be the clear winner over Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) in the Democratic contest, his numbers will likely be hampered as the state’s large Muslim population has expressed frustration with Biden’s handling of the war between Israel and Hamas. Michigan is home to around 200,000 Muslim voters, a demographic that largely <a href="https://apnews.com/article/votecast-trump-wins-white-evangelicals-d0cb249ea7eae29187a21a702dc84706" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supports Democrats</a>.
The Michigan governor, who is also a co-chair of the Biden-Harris re-election campaign, began her segment by emphasizing the importance of the swing state’s diverse voter base, adding that the 2024 election would be close in Michigan.
“Today, I anticipate that we will see a sizable number of people vote uncommitted,” Whitmer said. “As we know, our huge Arab, Palestinian, and Muslim communities are going to voice some of their opinions with regard to how we’re handling what’s happening over in Gaza and Israel.”
“We also have a robust Jewish community here, and these are two very important communities that have lived in harmony in this state for decades,” she added. “And there’s a lot of people who are hurting.”
Earlier this month, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) — a Muslim who was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-house-votes-to-censure-democrat-rashida-tlaib-for-supporting-genocide-of-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">censured</a> by the U.S. House for her anti-Semitic comments — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tlaib-calls-for-protest-vote-against-biden-over-israel-hamas-war" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> for her constituents to “vote uncommitted” as a way to protest Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war.
“We don’t want a country that supports wars and bombs and destruction. We want to support life. We want to stand up for every single life killed in Gaza,” Tlaib said.
“This is the way you can raise our voices, to make us even more visible,” she added later. “Right now, we feel completely neglected and just unseen by our government. If you want us to be louder, then come here and vote uncommitted.”

Whitmer’s admission that she expects Muslim voters to heed Tlaib&#8217;s call comes after the governor encouraged Democrats in Michigan to back the president, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/27/biden-faces-anger-from-key-arab-american-voters-in-michigan-primary-.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arguing</a> that “any vote that’s not cast for Joe Biden supports a second Trump term.”
Trump currently leads the president in polling in the swing state by five points, according to the RealClearPolitics <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2024/michigan/trump-vs-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">polling average.</a> Biden <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/03/us/elections/results-michigan.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">took Michigan</a> in 2020, coming in 154,000 votes ahead of Trump, who <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2016/results/michigan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won</a> the state over Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton by just over 10,000 votes in 2016.

In a video posted to social media on Saturday, Tlaib advocated for creating a voting block to oppose the conflict that ramped up after Hamas conducted terrorist attacks on Israeli soil in October, killing an estimated 1,200 people.
&#8220;We don&#8217;t want a country that supports wars and bombs and destruction. We want to support life. We want to stand up for every single life killed in Gaza,&#8221; Tlaib said.

The video Tlaib appeared in came from a group called Listen to Michigan, which is urging voters to send President Joe Biden a &#8220;clear message&#8221; in the Democratic Party&#8217;s primary on February 27 by filling out the &#8220;Uncommitted&#8221; bubble on the ballot.
&#8220;He’s not representing the young people who put him in office and turned out in the midterms — and are now out protesting his policies in the streets,&#8221; the group <a href="https://www.listentomichigan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on its website, objecting to Biden&#8217;s support of Israel.
The Biden administration has spoken out in favor of Israel defending itself against Hamas, sought more aid for the country, and pushed for the freedom of roughly 100 hostages who are still believed to be in the group&#8217;s captivity.
But Biden is now urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to go through with a ground invasion of Gaza&#8217;s southern city of Rafah, where it is estimated that more than half the strip&#8217;s 2.3 million population have gathered during the conflict.

&#8220;I’ve made the case — and I feel very strongly about it — that there has to be a — a temporary ceasefire to get the prisoners out, to get the hostages out. And that is underway.

&#8220;And in the meantime, I don’t anticipate — I’m hoping that you — that the Israelis will not make any massive land invasion in the meantime,&#8221; he added.

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rashida-tlaib" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rashida Tlaib</a> (D-MI) <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/202444" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stood out</a> as the only member to cast a vote neither in support nor against the measure that otherwise received broad support from both Democrats and Republicans.
In House floor remarks, Tlaib said the resolution &#8220;rightfully denounces any sexual violence by Hamas,&#8221; but she claimed to be &#8220;disturbed&#8221; by how it lacks similar language for how Israeli forces allegedly treat Palestinians.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
We all have a responsibility to denounce sexual violence in all forms, regardless of who is responsible. War crimes cannot justify more war crimes. This resolution falls well short of also acknowledging the sexual abuse of Palestinians. <a href="https://t.co/T4kdm1WXxk">pic.twitter.com/T4kdm1WXxk</a>

The resolution, <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-resolution/966/text" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduced</a> by Rep. Lois Frankel (D-FL), &#8220;condemns acts of rape and sexual violence as weapons of war, including those acts committed by Hamas on and since October 7, 2023.

Today, with overwhelming bipartisan support, we&#39;ve passed my resolution in the House condemning Hamas&#39;s use of rape and sexual violence on and since October 7th.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Among other provisions, the resolution also &#8220;calls on all nations to criminalize rape and sexual assault, and hold accountable all perpetrators of sexual violence, including state and non-state armed groups.&#8221;
The House clerk tally <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/202444" target="_blank" rel="noopener">showed</a> 418 members, including 210 Republicans and 208 Democrats, voted in support of the resolution. Tlaib, a member of the leftist &#8220;Squad&#8221; who is the sole Palestinian American member of Congress, voted &#8220;present&#8221; while a dozen members did not vote.
Some members criticized Tlaib for her &#8220;present&#8221; vote, the latest in a pattern of the congresswoman opposing resolutions geared toward <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/2-house-dems-vote-against-denying-refuge-to-noncitizens-involved-with-hamas-attack-on-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expressing</a> <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/johnson-led-house-passes-resolution-in-support-of-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">support</a> for Israel, and following a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-house-votes-to-censure-democrat-rashida-tlaib-for-supporting-genocide-of-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">censure</a> last year for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-republicans-move-to-censure-tlaib-over-israel-rhetoric" target="_blank" rel="noopener">her response</a> to the deadly attacks by Hamas.
&#8220;For more than 129 days, Israel has defended itself from Hamas’ terror. Hamas committed despicable crimes on October 7th. It’s shameful [Tlaib] wouldn’t support a resolution condemning rape and sexual violence committed by Hamas,&#8221; Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK) <a href="https://twitter.com/repkevinhern/status/1757893548492398896" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to X.
&#8220;The House just delivered a strong rebuke of Hamas’ use of rape and sexual violence as a weapon of war! Disturbingly, what should have been a unanimous vote was ruined by [Tlaib] who couldn’t bring herself to condemn these heinous acts,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/RepBethVanDuyne/status/1757886817825669580" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Rep.

Rashida Tlaib Votes ‘Present’ On Resolution Condemning Hamas Rape

Rashida Tlaib Votes 'Present' On Resolution Condemning Hamas Rape

House Democrats

Two <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/house-democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Democrats</a> voted against a bill to deny refuge in the United States to noncitizens involved with aiding <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hamas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas</a> in carrying out the deadly attack on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israel</a> on October 7 of last year.
Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Cori Bush (D-MO), who is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/squad-member-cori-bush-faces-doj-criminal-probe-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">facing a criminal inquiry</a> into her expenditures on security services, opposed the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/6679" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act</a>. Both lawmakers are members of the leftist &#8220;Squad&#8221; who have been <a href="https://bush.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswomen-bush-tlaib-on-the-international-court-of-justices-initial-ruling-in-south-africas-genocide-case-against-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">critical</a> of U.S. support for Israel as it fights Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
One other Democrat, Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL), voted &#8220;present.&#8221; The rest of the Democrats who voted, <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2024/roll028.xml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">207 of them</a>, joined with all 215 voting Republicans to pass the measure. Six members did not vote.
The bill, which now heads to the Senate, was <a href="https://mcclintock.house.gov/newsroom/press-releases/immigration-legislation-passes-house-judiciary-committee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduced</a> by Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA), who said it &#8220;provides that any alien who carried out, participated in, planned, financed, afforded material support to, or otherwise facilitated any of the attacks against Israel initiated by Hamas beginning on October 7, 2023 be inadmissible for citizenship and be ineligible for any relief under immigration law&#8221; such as protection from being deported or asylum in the United States.
Tlaib, who is the sole Palestinian American member of Congress, <a href="https://tlaib.house.gov/posts/tlaib-opposes-hateful-gop-anti-immigrant-bills" target="_blank" rel="noopener">argued</a> the bill is &#8220;unnecessary because it is redundant with already existing federal law. It’s just another GOP messaging bill being used to incite anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian, and anti-Muslim hatred that makes communities like ours unsafe.&#8221;
Ramirez said she voted &#8220;present&#8221; because she is &#8220;done with political games&#8221; after participating in the lengthy Homeland Security Committee meeting that led to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-committee-advances-two-articles-of-impeachment-against-mayorkas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">advancement of</a> two articles charging high crimes and misdemeanors against Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas for his handling of border security.
&#8220;There are ALREADY no immigration benefits for Hamas terrorists,&#8221; she <a href="https://ramirez.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-ramirez-statement-present-vote-hr-6679" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, adding later, &#8220;I could not stomach another bill only introduced to score cheap political points, politicize immigration, and divide our communities. Like the Republican’s sham impeachment, this bill does not meaningfully address border security nor further protect our communities. H.R.6679 is unnecessary. It’s a waste of resources and time. And I’m not playing along.”
Some Republicans posted to X about their vote for the bill after its passage in the House and what it signals about the U.S. stance on the Hamas terrorist attacks.

&#8220;Anyone who participated in, facilitated, or assisted Hamas in carrying out the October 7th attacks on Israel has no place in the United States,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMarkGreen/status/1752044374521696688" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN). &#8220;America will NOT be a sanctuary for terrorists,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/RepBurgessOwens/status/1752835175988277678" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT).
The GOP-led House also <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/202427" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed another bill</a> from McClintock on Wednesday, this one seeking to remove or bar any noncitizen who commits Social Security and ID fraud. That measure garnered less support from Democrats, with 55 voting for it and 155 against it.

Actor and comedian Jon Lovitz laid into Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) in a Friday post on X, saying that her post wishing Jews everywhere a &#8220;Happy Hanukkah&#8221; was &#8220;the definition of the word &#8216;chutzpah.'&#8221;
Pointing out the fact that Tlaib had voted — and <a href="https://twitter.com/RepRashida/status/1732125408252846106" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bragged about her vote</a> — against the recent House Resolution condemning anti-Semitism and affirming Israel&#8217;s right to exist and defend itself, Lovitz called out the &#8220;hypocrisy&#8221; of then turning around to offer Hanukkah greetings.
&#8220;Happy Hanukkah to our Jewish neighbors in #12thDistrictStrong and beyond. May this be a time of love and community for you and your loved ones,&#8221; Tlaib posted in honor of the first night of Hanukkah on Thursday.

Then, a few days later, wished the same people, Happy Hanukkah. It would be laughable, if you&#8217;re [sic] hypocrisy wasn&#8217;t so disgusting.&#8221;
Lovitz was not the only one to take issue with Tlaib&#8217;s post.

Hanukkah

Jon Lovitz

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/arizona-state-university" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arizona State University</a> canceled an event that the school was set to host on Friday featuring Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), which comes after she openly expressed support for the elimination of the state of Israel.
The Arizona Republic <a href="https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona/2023/11/17/arizona-state-university-cancels-event-featuring-rep-rashida-tlaib/71621004007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that the event, dubbed &#8220;Palestine is an American Issue,&#8221; was set to be hosted by the far-Left group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), according to a bipartisan group of Arizona state lawmakers.
The event was canceled after the lawmakers <a href="https://www.azleg.gov/press/house/56LEG/1R/231116CARBONE.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">signed</a> a letter titled, &#8220;Congresswoman Tlaib’s Extremist, Antisemitic Views Are Not Welcome in the State of Arizona.&#8221;
&#8220;The State of Arizona is a safe place for Jews, both on and off campus, and the antisemitic rants regurgitated by SJP and others are not representative of Arizona values,&#8221; the lawmakers said. &#8220;Students supporting Israel have been verbally and physically assaulted on campus in recent days, requiring police escort during SJP rallies.&#8221;
The lawmakers noted Tlaib&#8217;s repeated anti-Semitic remarks and her &#8220;support [for] the destruction of the state of Israel.&#8221;
&#8220;She has a history of espousing such a view both before and following the deadly October 7 terrorist attacks against Israel that were perpetrated by the pro-Palestinian Hamas terrorist organization,&#8221; they said. &#8220;We believe that such extremist, antisemitic views should be condemned, and they are not welcome in the state of Arizona.&#8221;
The lawmakers said that the extremist SJP, which private universities and the state of Florida have taken action against, should be focused on a toddler with ties to the state who was kidnapped by Hamas.
&#8220;We ask that Arizonans say a prayer for Abigail Edan and her family,&#8221; they said. &#8220;Abigail is a three-year-old girl with ties to Arizona and was taken hostage by Hamas terrorists in Gaza after they murdered her parents. Rather than honor Congresswoman Tlaib for a speaking engagement, SJP should be calling for Abigail’s immediate safe release in time for her fourth birthday next week.&#8221;

Tlaib was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-house-votes-to-censure-democrat-rashida-tlaib-for-supporting-genocide-of-israel#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">censured</a> by the U.S. House of Representatives last week for her support of genocide against the state of Israel.
In a 234-188 vote, 22 Democrats joined 212 Republicans in voting for the censure while four Republicans voted against it. A total of four members voted present while six did not vote.
The resolution to censure Tlaib slammed her for “promoting false narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel.”
The resolution correctly noted that Israel has existed on its lands for thousands of years and that the U.S. played a “critical role in returning Israel to those lands in 1948 immediately following the Holocaust in recognition of its right to exist and as an indelible signal of our solidarity with the Jewish people.”
Tlaib “defended the brutal rapes, murders, be-headings, and kidnapping—including of Americans—by Hamas as justified ‘resistance’ to the ‘apartheid state,'&#8221; the resolution said, adding that she “knowingly spread the false narrative that Israel intentionally bombed the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital on October 17 after United States intelligence, Israeli intelligence, and President Biden assessed with high confidence that Israel did not cause the explosion.”
The resolution continued:
<blockquote>Whereas, on November 3, 2023, Representative Tlaib published on social media a video containing the phrase “from the river to the sea,” which is widely recognized 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;
Whereas Representative Tlaib doubled down on this call to violence by falsely describing “from the river to the sea” as “an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence” despite it clearly entailing Israel’s destruction and denial of its fundamental right to exist; and
Whereas Representative Tlaib has repeatedly displayed conduct entirely unbecoming of a Member of the House of Representatives by calling for the destruction of the state of Israel and dangerously promoting false narratives regarding a brutal, large-scale terrorist attack against civilian targets inside the sovereign territory of a major non-NATO ally while hundreds of Israeli and American hostages remain in terrorist captivity: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That Representative Rashida Tlaib be censured.</blockquote>
The Democrats who voted to censure Tlaib include Reps. Steve Cohen (TN), Jim Costa (CA), Angie Craig (MN), Don Davis (NC), Lois Frankel (FL), Jared Golden (ME), Daniel Goldman (NY), Josh Gottheimer (NJ), Greg Landsman (OH), Susie Lee (NV), Kathy Manning (NC), Jared Moskowitz (FL), Wiley Nickel (NC), Chris Pappas (NH), Marie Perez (WA), Pat Ryan (NY), Brad Schneider (IL), Kim Schrier (WA), Darren Soto (FL), Richie Torres (NY), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL), and Frederica Wilson (FL).
The Republicans who voted against the censure included Reps. Ken Buck (CO), John Duarte (CA), Thomas Massie (KY), and Tom McClintock (CA).

Arizona State Cancels Event With Democrat Rashida Tlaib After She Called For Genocide Of Israel: Report

Arizona State University

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) refused to apologize for using genocidal language calling for the extermination of the state of Israel when confronted by a reporter this week about the matter.
Tlaib has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lawmaker-calls-for-tlaib-to-lose-clearance-over-security-concerns-her-allegiance-lies-with-hamas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">promoted</a> Hamas terrorist propaganda in the weeks following their unprecedented attack against Israel where they murdered 1,200 Israelis, wounded 5,300, and kidnapped 240.
In a video Tlaib shared on her X account, she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rashida-tlaib-shares-video-promoting-israels-destruction-claims-biden-is-the-one-supporting-genocide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">showed</a> protesters in her state as they chanted, “From the river to the sea” — meaning from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea — which would require the total destruction of Israel as a Jewish State.
Tlaib was subsequently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-house-votes-to-censure-democrat-rashida-tlaib-for-supporting-genocide-of-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">censured</a> by the U.S. House of Representatives for her blatant anti-Semitism.
“Congresswoman, do you regret using the phrase ‘from the river to the sea?’ It’s used by terrorists to call for the genocide of Jewish people, do you regret using it?” Fox Business reporter Hillary Vaughn asked Tlaib as she left her office this week.
Tlaib, who was being escorted by a police officer, held a phone up to her face and never said a word during the 30+ seconds she was on camera.
“The White House says that phrase can be anti-Semitic, are you anti-Semitic, congresswoman?” Vaughn continued. “Are you anti-Semitic, congresswoman Tlaib?”
“Are you anti-Semitic, congresswoman Tlaib?” the reporter pressed. “Are you anti-Semitic, congresswoman Tlaib? Are you anti-Semitic, congresswoman Tlaib?”
Tlaib refused to answer the question or apologize for calling for the extermination of the state of Israel.

WATCH: Rashida Tlaib Refuses To Apologize For Supporting Elimination Of Israel

Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is part of a closed Facebook group that glorified Hamas in the immediate aftermath of the terrorist group’s attack on Israel last month.
The congresswoman, who was censured by the U.S. House last week for espousing anti-Semitic views, is a member of the Facebook group Palestinian American Congress/USA, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rashida-tlaib-member-secret-facebook-group-where-hamas-terrorists-glorified?intcmp=tw_fnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The outlet gained access to the hidden group of more than 15,000 members and found that it featured pro-Hamas posts after the terrorist group murdered more than <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-revises-death-toll-from-oct-7-hamas-assault-dropping-it-from-1400-to-1200/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1,200</a> people on October 7, including dozens of Americans. 
Just five days after the terrorist attack, one person in the Palestinian American Congress group posted a photo of a Hamas fighter posing with an elderly woman who appeared to be one of the Israeli hostages taken into the Gaza Strip. Along with posting the photo, the group member wrote, “We don&#8217;t want to throw you in the sea &#8230; we want you to ride it back from where you came.&#8221; 
On October 19, another person in the group posted a list of “achievements” of Hamas which celebrated the terrorists’ slaying of Israeli soldiers. 
When The Daily Wire conducted a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/search/groups/?q=Palestinian%20American%20Congress%2Fusa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">search</a> for the group on Facebook, nothing showed up under &#8220;Palestinian American Congress/USA,&#8221; meaning the group is likely set to Facebook&#8217;s private and hidden <a href="https://www.facebook.com/community/getting-started-with-groups/facebook-privacy-settings-for-groups/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">setting</a> that group administrators use if they &#8220;want to have the most restrictions over group visibility and want membership to be by invitation only.&#8221;

The Facebook group’s founder, Maher Abdel-qader, has posted anti-Semitic conspiracies in the group, including videos questioning the Holocaust and calling Jews “satanic.”

Abdel-qader has deep ties to Tlaib and was one of her key fundraisers during her 2018 campaign — when the “Squad” member was first elected, according to The Daily Caller. The anti-Semitic political operative has also supported Tlaib’s fellow “Squad” member Cori Bush, who joined the chorus of those on the far-Left who condemned Israel after Hamas’ attack. 
Earlier this month, Tlaib <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rashida-tlaib-shares-video-promoting-israels-destruction-claims-biden-is-the-one-supporting-genocide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a> a video that featured pro-Palestinian demonstrators and called for the destruction of Israel. Part of the video showed protesters from Michigan chanting, “From the river to the sea” — meaning from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea — which would require the total destruction of Israel as a Jewish State. 
At the end of the video, the Democratic congresswoman called for a ceasefire and warned President Joe Biden before a message appeared on screen blaming Biden for the “genocide of the Palestinian people.” Tlaib’s post featuring the <a href="https://twitter.com/RashidaTlaib/status/1720520713226908144?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1720520713226908144%7Ctwgr%5E347f968111281f9147c701f4270248b798f0f976%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2Fnews%2Frashida-tlaib-shares-video-promoting-israels-destruction-claims-biden-is-the-one-supporting-genocide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> is still up on X, even after being <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-house-votes-to-censure-democrat-rashida-tlaib-for-supporting-genocide-of-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">censured</a> by her colleagues, including 22 Democrats and 212 Republicans.

Rashida Tlaib Is A Member Of Facebook Group That Praised Hamas After Its Attack On Israel: Report

Facebook

Social Media

On Sunday, an elderly Jewish man attending a pro-Israel rally in Thousand Oaks, California, was killed after being allegedly hit in the head with a megaphone wielded by a pro-Hamas protester.
Normally, such an event might spur a nationwide conversation about anti-Semitism and the costs of radical rhetoric. After all, according to the White House, a national conversation regarding “Islamophobia” has been made necessary by the murder of a 6-year-old Palestinian Arab child in Illinois.
But no.
There has been no such conversation about any “climate of hate.”
That’s for one reason and one reason only: the people doing the hating versus the people who are hated.
Those doing the hating are fans of Hamas, both radical Muslims and fellow travelers on the Left. Those being hated are Jews. And, as everyone of sophisticated moral bent knows, Muslims — being disproportionately brown and disproportionately poor and the majority in dozens of materially underperforming countries globally — are victims. And Jews — being highly-educated and high-earning and the majority in precisely one, materially successful state, Israel — are victimizers.
That’s the math. Brown or poor equals oppressed. White or successful equals oppressor. And being a member of the oppressed means you are a victim, no matter how evil you are.
That is precisely why Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, a raging Jew-hater, is now being treated as a victim in the legacy media. Tlaib is a sitting congresswoman, which means that by any standard, she is successful.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1846-the-cry-terrorist-strategy-of-hamas-supporters-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
But she is also brown and hates the West, which means she is a member of the oppressed class.
And this means that she can spout blood libels; she still maintains Israel bombed a hospital in Gaza, despite all evidence to the contrary. It means she can call for the utter destruction of the state of Israel, pushing the slogan “from the river to the sea” — and the genocide that inevitably entails. It means she can blame Israel for Hamas’ attack on Israeli civilians, while claiming moral equivalence between a group who burns babies alive and a group who attempts to avoid civilian casualties. It means she can spend her career hobnobbing with open terror supporters. It means that she can claim, falsely, that Israel is engaged in “genocide” and threaten President Biden over that false claim.
And then, when called on her lies and her Jew-hatred, she can shed crocodile tears.
That’s precisely what happened yesterday when a resolution sponsored by Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-house-votes-to-censure-democrat-rashida-tlaib-for-supporting-genocide-of-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called for her censure</a>. McCormick’s resolution censured Tlaib for “promoting false narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel.” 
This resolution, according to Tlaib and her allies, is oppression.
She is the victim.
Tlaib is a cry-bully. To be more specific, she’s a cry-Hamasnik. She supports the most egregious atrocities known to man, but hides behind her religion to claim immunity, and then weeps about her supposed victimhood. She cried when she spoke to Congress; she claimed on X (Twitter) that she was being silenced, writing, “I am the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, and my perspective is needed here now more than ever. I will not be silenced and I will not let anyone distort my words. I’m from Detroit, where I learned to speak truth to power, even if my voice shakes.”
That’s an odd take, given that pretty much every major member of the Democratic Party rushed to her defense. Hakeem Jeffries, Democratic Minority Leader, blamed “Extreme MAGA pushback” for blowback against the terrorist-supporting Tlaib.
Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan tried to claim that “from the river to the sea” is actually just open to interpretation, like a piece of abstract poetry — a piece of genocidal abstract poetry, but abstract poetry nonetheless.
Tlaib’s anti-Semitic fellow Hamas squad members joined in on the fun and games, claiming victimhood on Tlaib’s behalf. Fellow Jew-hater Ilhan Omar screamed about the unfairness supposedly suffered by the disreputable Tlaib. Cori Bush, the BLM congresswoman from Missouri, joined the club too, ranting in typically <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/is-she-high-cori-bush-delivers-unhinged-rant-blames-congress-for-slavery-in-defense-of-rashida-tlaib" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unhinged fashion</a> about the horrors of supposed “Islamophobia” against Tlaib.
Tlaib’s tactic is Hamas’ tactic writ small. Hamas started this conflict by murdering 1,400 Jews, including babies, children, women, and men. They still have 240 people kept in bondage in Gaza as their hostages. They openly brag about hiding rockets and terrorists beneath civilian centers. They are so open about it that even CNN anchors like Jake Tapper notice.
But when Israel inevitably kills civilians in the process of targeting terrorists, Hamas sheds the falsest of tears.
And the world falls for it.
Because the oppressor/oppressed narrative is all-consuming, all-powerful.
This narrative outweighs decency. And it outweighs truth.
So, there will be no conversations about “tone” or “hate speech” or the obvious Jew-hatred evident on the streets of America’s major cities — at least not with regard to Tlaib. There will be serious-minded conversations about how the evil MAGA movement is spreading “Islamophobia.”
And stepping out of line will not be tolerated.
That, presumably, is why after Senator Elizabeth Warren issued a tweet decrying anti-Semitism, she was forced to rush out another tweet decrying “Islamophobia.” That is why the media are so studiously avoiding any language that might blame the killing of a Jewish man in Los Angeles on Hamasniks who allegedly slam elderly men in the head with bullhorns.
The headline from the New York Times read: “Jewish Man Dies After Altercation at Dueling Protests in California.”
The headline from ABC News read: “Elderly Jewish man dies after confrontation with pro-Palestinian protesters in Westlake Village.”
The BBC News’ headline read: “Jewish man dies after dispute at duelling Israel-Palestinian protests.”
The narrative must be protected at all costs. The victimizers are the victims. The oppressors are the oppressed.
And as we all know, the victims and the oppressed must be excused for all of their myriad evils.
