funny stuff
I agree with the guy who just tweeted
"Rep Tlaib obviously hates Israel more then she loves her grandmother"
Nu? What else would you say?
Bigot.
Josh.
Democracy is not a suicide pact.
Have you had a look at U.S. exclusion law lately?
Our statutes authorize barring the entry of aliens who are reasonably believed to be planning to violate our law; are likely to engage in activities that unlawfully oppose or seek the overthrow of our government; are members of a political or social group that endorses or espouses terrorist activity; and whose activities could have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the U.S.
Israel does, too.
Rashida Tlaib has extensive history of associating with Muslim Brotherhood-connected groups that promote terrorism and seek Israel’s annihilation. She has tweeted an endorsement of Omar Suleiman, a fundamentalist Texas-based imam who promotes the universal imposition of sharia law and has written glowingly of Palestinian intifadas – terrorist campaigns against Israel (“God willing on this blessed night as the 3rd Intifada begins, the beginning of the end of Zionism is here. May Allah help us overcome this monster, protect the innocent of the world, and accept the murdered as martyrs”).
Israel is the freest country in its part of the world. Its ethnic Arabic citizens have more liberty and due process than they could hope to enjoy in sharia societies. It has its own alliance of leftists and Islamists that engages in robust dissent against the incumbent government. Its assurance of free expression guarantees that no argument Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib could make would be kept from Israelis and Palestinians who care to hear it.
Yet Israel was willing to let an avowed foe of its existence conditional entrance to visit an ailing relative.
She declined because she is an anti-Semite and bigot and did not get the platform she desired to spew her hatred of Jews.
As someone like you who rails against bigotry, constantly, please get your facts straight.
(a) Setting aside everything you wrote, for a moment, nothing you said has anything to do with what I said. Kid's a bigot. So are you. No news there.
(b) Given your persistent refusal to address your political parties ongoing racist activities, you are hardly in a position to challenge my performance or lack thereof. Or are you willing to grant that President Trump is a racist, now? Or that the GOP thrives on racist dogma and presentation?
(c) The challenge was made to Kid and I now extend it to you.
Show me where this so-called "avowed foe of its existence" has ever called for Israel's destruction. I can show you where she said some anti-semitic stuff. I can also show where she apologized for it, and not with a mealy-mouthed "oh, we just called them wetbacks where I grew up, I meant nothing by it" fake apology as we hear repeatedly from GOP officials caught in their bigotry and prejudice.
The US screwed up, in the form of Trump's twitting. Netanyahu screwed up, as well, in backing up Trump's wishes, initially. He should have told his underlings to just let her come and he did not.
He did neither himself nor Israel any favors, though I am pretty sure that on the scale of extreme glitches, that one is pretty small for him!
Let me know when you find your evidence that she has indicated she wants Israel to disappear. I suggest you not ask Bambi for help. And I suggest you not hold your breath, either!
