Multiple local, state, and federal elected officials also affiliate with the DSA.
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) was already pretty explicit in its support for killing Jews after Oct 7. A DSA founder, Maurice Isserman, resigned after that “to protest the DSA leadership’s politically and morally bankrupt response to the horrific Hamas October 7 anti-Jewish pogrom.”
And it got worse from there.
The DSA pushed out Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez for being insufficiently anti-Israel and Rep. Jamal Bowman had to beg to be let back in. Both AOC and Bowman are militantly anti-Israel so this was up there with the KKK or the Nation of Islam kicking out members for not being racist enough.
Over the summer, DSA Palestine argued that, “One could (and should) very well argue that in a settler colonial context there are no such things as ‘civilians’, but disregarding that even, it’s total folly to honestly compare settlers perpetrating pogroms to resistance groups deploying violence to liberate themselves.”
Translated from academese gibberish that meant that Jews were not legitimately civilians and that Hamas was fundamentally more justified in killing Jewish civilians than Jews were in defending themselves.
The DSA’s Marxist (literally) Red Star Caucus was even more blunt with a post headlined, “We Do Not Condemn Hamas, and Neither Should You.” The post argued that, “Hamas is at the center of the popular front for resistance, all major parties in the resistance are aligned with it, and all of our enemies (the US and Israel) are against it. There is no way to oppose Hamas—or any other element of the popular front—without standing in stark opposition to the entire resistance movement.”
Now the DSA’s National site decided to die a toe in the terrorist pool, going beyond the usual selective bias, critiques of Israel, and hysterical attacks, while pretending that the Arab Muslim settlers who call themselves ‘Palestinians’ are just a mass of unarmed civilians.
Titled, ‘Why Palestinians Engage in Armed Struggle’, when you get past the lies and distorted history, eventually gets to the point.
“The military capacity of Gaza’s guerilla factions has demonstrated itself to be a singularly powerful force at reuniting Palestinians around the possibilities of a military path to liberation. Despite the ongoing genocide, support for armed resistance as a tactic has remained high since October 7th.”
The article makes it clear that Hamas is a part of these “factions” and then praises the “military capacity of these guerilla factions”, celebrates assorted Hamas victories, and claims that “armed struggle is one of the only available methods of struggle that remains for the Palestinian people.”
The DSA cautions that the article endorsing terrorism against Jews may or may not be its view. “Signed articles do not necessarily represent the views of DSA.”
Suffice it to say that the DSA is okay with promoting terrorism and with maintaining strategic ambiguity about whether it supports killing Jews.
This is significant because multiple local, state, and federal elected officials affiliate with the DSA.
While the DSA ousted AOC, and Rep. Cori Bush and Rep. Bowman lost races that the Left vocally blamed on the Jews, Rep. Rashida Tlaib is affiliated with the DSA, as well as multiple local officials including Sen. Julia Salazar in New York, Sen. Omar Fateh in Minnesota, Rep. Madinah Wilson-Anton in Delaware, Rep. Abraham Aiyash in Dearborn, Michigan (some of whom were already covered in the Freedom Center’s Election Jihad report).
And this is significant because while Rep. Tlaib’s views are obvious, her affiliation with a radical organization that supports Islamic terrorism and the murder of Jews provides a hard and clear linkage to terrorism.

America is occupied land stolen from indigenous people. What a bunch of hypocrites. Tilab can go back to Ecuador
bagsgroove says
Tlaib hails from Ecuador ? I lived in Peru for ten years and I am quite acquainted with the colonial era of the the spaniards in south america. And Tlaib likes the philosophy of killing ? Must be of spanish nature who is now planning to kill jews ! They say that a person’s face shows the nature of their heart . Tlaib is so ugly that her heart must be full of evil.

“They say that a person’s face shows the nature of their heart . Tlaib is so ugly that her heart must be full of evil.” I agree.
Kosh's Shadow says
The Democratic Socialists remind me of the National Socialists, except the DSA outsources killing Jews, while the latter did the dirty work themselves.
Imagine if there were a Republican group like that? The media and the Democrats would constantly be telling the GOP to disown the group.
But the DSA members are loved by the media and the Dems.

If there was even a particle of an article of Law being applied, these creepy terrorists would be standing in a courtroom, and answering the question, “How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?”
Once in America, people had no *respect* for lawbreakers, even those with “connections.”
For an example, the Symbionese Liberation Army kidnapped Pattie Hearst. She went to prison for her part in a bank robbery even though her father was a rich guy, with “connections.”
Now, people such as the ugly (yes, ugly) tlaib, bowman (also ugly) and others with “connections,” can advocate for a so-called “liberation” movement, better known as mozlum terrorists with the group name hamas, to murder thousands of innocent Jews (they’d like to murder all of the millions of Jews)
publish it in a paper, lying in an attempt to make it sound good and reasonable, and what happens?
No arrests for incitement. No arrests for ties to terrorism, advocating for terrorists, and even, perhaps funding the terrorists. And funding can be done in ways other than just handing over a check or cash.
tlaib, bowman, and all of the rest should be arrested, indicted and facing a jury of sensible, honest, ethical people.

And what bigger settler colonists than the Arabs outside of the peninsula?

You nailed that one.
It constantly amazes me how we hear the nasty complaint/slogan about “Israeli Settler Colonialism” coming from the hordes of Islamic parasites infesting Europe and the U.S.
WTF do those scum think they are, other than “Settler Colonialists” in our lands? The lack of self-awareness among those people is absolutely astounding!
somehistory says
Because the majority of them are psychopaths. The psychopath never recognizes any wrong done by himself; he only sees the wrongs, or the things he perceives as wrong, as the actions of others.
If the psychopath does something that turns out to have a bad result, he will deny having done it and blame it on others, while he’ll willingly take credit for things that turn out well.
And islam teaches its adherents that they are superior to others, and have *rights* that others do not have….such as taking property, land, raping, murdering…thus they don’t call themselves ‘colonists.’ but label others with the term.
Put the psychopath and islam together and there’s a superpsychopath.

“WATCH: Gov. Whitmer Completely Dodges When Confronted By Jake Tapper About Whether Rep. Tlaib Made an Anti-Semitic Smear Against Michigan’s AG’
“Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) completely dodged questions from CNN’s Jake Tapper about whether Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) smeared Michigan’s Attorney General, Dana Nessel, in anti-Semitic fashion.
In a fraught exchange on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, Tapper confronted the governor about Tlaib’s accusation that Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel brought charges against protesters at the University of Michigan solely because they were pro-Palestinian.
“Your State’s Attorney General, Dana Nessel, charged almost a dozen individuals from the University of Michigan over the anti-Israel protests,” Tapper said. “Among the charges: attempted ethnic intimidation, assaulting or obstructing a police officer, and on and on. These are pro-Palestinian protesters who are being punished and prosecuted.
“Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib — who is Palestinian — she called the charges from Nessel, who is Jewish, ‘shameful.’ And Talib said ‘It seems that the Attorney General decided if the issue was Palestine, she was going to treat it differently, and that alone speaks volumes about possible biases within the agency she runs.’ Nessel responded by saying, ‘Rashida Tlaib should not use my religion to imply I cannot perform my job fairly as Attorney General. It’s anti-Semitic and wrong.’”
Tapper asked Whitmer: “Do you think that Talib suggestion that Nessel’s office is biased was anti-Semitic?
But the governor refused to take a position.
“All I can say is that I know that our Jewish community is in pain, as is our Palestinian and Muslim and Arab communities in Michigan,” Whitmer said. “I know that seeing the incredible toll that this war has taken on both communities has been really, really challenging and difficult, and my heart breaks for so many. But as governor, my job is to make sure that both these communities are protected and respected under the law in Michigan, and that’s exactly what I’m going to stay focused on.”
Tapper refused to let Whitmer off the hook — pressing the governor on whether Congresswoman Tlaib smeared the state’s attorney general, or whether her claim has merit.
“Do you think Attorney General Nessel is not doing her job?” Tapper asked. “Because Congresswoman Tlaib is suggesting that she shouldn’t be prosecuting these individuals that Nessel says broke the law, and that she’s only doing it because she’s Jewish and the protesters are not. That’s quite an accusation. Do you think it’s true?”
But Tapper’s follow-up produced a second non-answer from Whitmer.
“Like I said, Jake, I’m not going to get in the middle of this argument that they’re having,” Whitmer said. “I can just say this: We do want to make sure that students are safe on our campuses, and we recognize that every person has the right to make their statement about how they feel about an issue, a right to speak out. And I’m going to use every lever of mine to ensure that both are true.””

As Alan Dershowitz said, the DSA is the American version of the Communist Party. Although its hard to tell it apart from the mainstream Democrat Party

Yes, if the mainstream part of the party admits to the socialism direction of all of their policies, they can all just be the dsa. and rename it “destructive socialists of America.”

“Mayor of Muslim-majority Michigan city endorses Trump: ‘Right choice for this critical time’”
“The mayor of a Muslim-majority city in Michigan says he is endorsing Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, calling the former commander-in-chief, “the right choice for this critical time.”
Amer Ghalib, mayor of the Detroit-area suburb Hamtramck, announced his endorsement of Trump in a Facebook post Sunday. While admitting he and Trump didn’t “agree on everything,” he said he regarded the former commander-in-chief as “a man of principles.”
“Though it’s looking good, he may or may not win the election and be the 47th president of the United States, but I believe he is the right choice for this critical time,” Ghalib wrote in Arabic on his Facebook page. “I’ll not regret my decision no matter what the outcome would be, and I’m ready to face the consequences. For this, and for many other reasons, I announce my support and endorsement for the former, and hopefully, the next president of the United States, Donald Trump.”
He added: “Now, let the Caravan begin its journey. This is just the starting point.”
Now what will r tlaib say?

࿗Infidel࿘ says
I love Trump winning converts from what used to be parts of the Left. I’m not sure about this one
Yeah, Trump has assured Amer Ghalib that he’ll strive to bring about peace, but there is a difference b/w that each of them expects. Ghalib would like Trump to do what Biden hasn’t done: discontinue weapons supply to Israel so that they’re forced to agree to a ceasefire, regardless of whether or not they get back their hostages. Also, I’m pretty sure that Ghalib is one of those “river-to-the-sea” Dems, who’d like to see Israel destroyed. Whereas President Trump, who shifted the embassy, recognized the Golan Heights and kicked off 4 Abraham Accord agreements w/ Emirates, Bahrein, Sudan and Morocco, bypassing the Palis altogether, has that as the last thing on his mind
Electorally, I’d be satisfied if the intifada crowd in Michigan, Minnesota, Virginia, et al just sat out the election or voted for Cornel West: I’m not interested in them voting for Trump. Just that would be enough to tip the scales against Kamala in all those states

I agree, Infidel, that the support has many strings attached. At least in the mind of the mozlum.

“Rashida Tlaib Comments on Pro-Palestine Student Arrests Spark Controversy”
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/rashida-tlaib-comments-on-pro-palestine-student-arrests-spark-controversy/ar-AA1r3vDE?ocid=BingNewsSerp
Imagine, this snake sits in the House…a place where new laws are written…and has some authority about the laws by which U.S. citizens are supposed to conduct all kinds of business and interactions with other people. And she has no intention of obeying those laws, or of staying out of cases where her fellow terror supporters are indicted for breaking the laws.
Any person who is so filled with ugly, evil hate and a bias for one section of society, has no business with any kind of authority; much less, the making of new law. r. tlaib, the ugly snake, needs to be kicked to the curb for her support of terrorism.
Mike says
Rashida Tlaib should change her name to George Tarleton. It would be very appropos.
Andrew says
Rashida Tlaib’s face is ugly
