New in PJ Media:
Rashida Tlaib, the lovable and patriotic U.S. representative from Khan Younis, has just once again clambered up to the moral high ground. Tlaib demonstrated anew why she is a moral lodestar for so many young Americans when she called for the arrest of the cunning and ruthless prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, on charges emanating from the genocide he is perpetrating in Gaza. There’s just one catch: there is no genocide.
The Jerusalem Post reported Monday that Tlaib charges Netanyahu with violating the Genocide Convention. Displaying her always remarkable eloquence and restrained, compelling rhetoric, Tlaib declared: “It’s no coincidence that immediately after our government sent the Israeli apartheid regime over $14 billion with absolutely no conditions on upholding human rights, Netanyahu began a ground invasion of Rafah to continue the genocide of Palestinians—with ammunition and bombs paid for by our tax dollars.”
This would be alarming indeed if it were true. But it isn’t. It’s not even close to true. Article 2 of the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide defines genocide as “any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”
Has Israel been trying to “destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group”? Any wartime action could be claimed to be such, but the facts are not on Tlaib’s side. In 1950, the population of Gaza was 63,444. Now it is estimated to be over 800,000. If Israel has intended to carry out a genocide of the Palestinian Arabs, it’s done a remarkably ineffective job.
Even since Oct. 7, the population of Gaza has increased, not decreased. And the casualty figures that have circulated all over the world have been completely discredited. Tlaib claimed that “Israeli forces have already killed over 35,000 Palestinians.” This figure comes from the Gaza Ministry of Health, which is run by Hamas. Hamas has every reason to inflate the number of casualties in order to turn international public opinion against Israel, and it has done an effective job of doing so. The tide, however, is beginning to turn.
The UN just cut in half the number of women and children it claims that the Israelis have killed in Gaza. The Jerusalem Post reported Sunday that in the UN’s latest report on the number of casualties in Gaza, it added a disclaimer that should have been there from the very beginning: “The UN has so far not been able to produce independent, comprehensive, and verified casualty figures.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

HOW did this misguided mule’s asshole get elected ?!?!
Keith O says
The same way the other members of the squad, dementia Joe, the cackler in chief and all their ilk did.
Through their lies and the ignorance of the American people.
PRCS says
Mostly the ignorance of the American people.
Ilhan Omar was not elected by Muslims alone.
loek says
Hi Robert, Thank you for this article. Just 1 question: Where is the figure of 800,000 palestinians in Gaza coming from?
Regards,Loek
Westman says
Maybe all population figures for Gaza are just estimates?
This source places the Gaza Strip population close to 2 million. Neither the PA or Hamas is competent about accuracy when it comes to numbers of people and dollars. They would have inflated the population numbers to get more money from governments and NGOs. Population figures for Gaza are likely to be wildly varying estimates. GIGO.

One thing is certain: A dependent population with time on its hands, no real survival threats, and guaranteed food will spend more time in exponential reproduction.
Walter Sieruk says
Rashida Tlaib is very anti-Jewish and likewise very anti- Israel, as seen in those anti- Israel foreign policies she always keeps on pushing for. Therefore Omar is, in essence, un-American. As former US President, William Howard Taft, wisely, declared in a speech “Anti-Semitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out it has no place in America.”
Related to this is a grand statement in a speech the former President Theodore Roosevelt, rightly, declared, “There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here for only one hundred percent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else.”
Nienie says
Why is Rashida Taliban Tlaib still a member of Congress?
Why is she not brought up on charges of treason?
Was she ever at least censured for anti-American speeches?
She refused to condemn the vile Oct 7, 2023 attacks on Israel by hamas

Fifty years ago President Richard Nixon was ousted by the media for his staff getting caught for a breaking in to demoncrat office.
Mo slums want to replace the US Constitution, the EU Constitution with sha rrhea “law” and they are using ta qq I ya (LIES) to do so.
No one wants to even be accused of being is lam o phobic.
“A phobia is an irrational fear of something such as all spiders and snakes. There is, however, nothing irrational about fearing an ideology which calls for VIOLENCE, OPPRESSION, CRUELTY, and MURDER AGAINST THOSE WHO DO NOT FOLLOW SUCH FAITH.”
Michael Dohnalek says
That’s the ugliest face I’ve seen lately. She would even scare satan into heaven ! And she makes lots of mulah at her government job for what ?
PRCS says
Her physical appearance, Michael, is irrelevant to the issue, which is what’s in her mind.
Were she to apostatize, and accept Jesus, would she not then be an ugly Christian?
James Lincoln says
PRCS,
A hate-filled person can have an affect on their own “countenance”.
Keith O says
Tlaib is the epitome of the old saying that beauty is skin deep, but ugly goes all the way to the bone, and in her case, to the soul as well.
PRCS says
Her soul, yes.
Her physical appearance being only skin deep, no.
I hate what she stands for.
bagsgroove says
She would always be ugly even if she was the pope ! She is ugly in spirit and in body. If you look at her face, you sure would not see any thing appealing about her.
PRCS says
Yes, she has an ugly spirit.
But her physical appearance has nothing to do with her ridiculous demand.
Mike says
She’s even uglier than Medusa, or the supervillain M.O.D.O.K. from Marvel Comics (and Ant Man and Wasp movie from Marvel).
PRCS says
What does her physical appearance have to do with the article’s subject?
Were she beautiful would her demand for Netanyahu’s arrest be rational?
somehistory says
Sen. Tom Cotton (one of the good guys), and several other senators, wrote a letter to the un creep and warned him of “consequences” if Mr. Netanyahu and/or others of the Israeli government are arrested.
On another thread, a day or two ago, I posted a part of the letter the senators sent to the un. Part of the letter threatened to cut ‘funding’…which to the un ghouls and creeps, is a big deal.
Perhaps they’ll care more about the threat to the money than they do about the ugly big mouth hamas supporter and her evil demands.

Her physical appareance is irrelevant to the issue, which is what’s in her mind.
Were she to apostacize, and accept Jesus, she’d look the same.
James Lincoln says

somehistory says
James, as you like to say, to your point: I have met many people whose features were not of the considered “attractive” types, but their heart was good, they loved others, were kind and it showed on their “countenance” making them lovely women and handsome men.
And to the contrary, people with “attractive” features as one might say of a movie star, but with ugly intents, which also showed and made them unattractive and even ugly.
And many Scriptures point out that very fact.

Your unchristian “ugly” assertion in mind, she’d still be ugly if she acceptaed Jesus, as her physical appearance is an immutable trait.
Palestinian Red Cross Society says
“the ugly big mouth”
Ugly being the operative word.
Not her demeanor.
An unnecessarily gratuitous shot at her physical appearance.
Who really do those who cast such hateful aspersions truly demean and to what level do they sink?
somehistory says
You know something, palestinian guy, your opinion of what I write, what I think, what I believem is absolutely worthless.
It’s my right to think what I wish, and to write what I wish and you are turning yourself into a pretzel trying to prove you have some authority to tell me what I can say as a Christian.
You don’t. And, I don’t have to justify myself to you.
So get over yourself.
Palestinian Red Cross Society says
“You know something, palestinian guy, your opinion of what I write, what I think, what I believem is absolutely worthless.”
That you keep responding belies that.

From the looks of her face she is serving an evil,hateful god who gives no hope! In her world the closest you can possibly get to happiness is to make sure that the others are even more miserable!
There is no hope and no consolation in Islam!
OLD GUY says
Can we get rid of this ugly women? She is about as anti-American as you can get.
If she’s what diversity brings and the migration invasion of muslims/islamic people has produced I don’t want any more of it.
