Despite the overwhelming evidence that the Palestinian “resistance” is really an endeavor designed to advance the Islamic jihad, far too many are a still being duped into believing that there is “Israeli apartheid,” Palestinian “oppression,” a history of “Palestine” that goes back thousands of years, and that Palestinians desire a fair “peace process.” The Palestinian […]
Rashida Tlaib criticized wall that stopped jihad suicide bombings
“Walls are destructive, not productive.” Yet this one was not destructive. It saved the lives of Israelis. Who could object? Rashida Tlaib. “Rashida Tlaib criticized the wall that stopped suicide bombings,” by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, August 21, 2019: PA terror leaders complain about Israel’s security wall, specifically because it stopped Palestinian suicide terror. […]
Tlaib blames jihad murder of Israeli teen on “Israeli occupation”
Tlaib wrote: “This is absolutely tragic & horrible. My heart goes out to Rina’s family. More than ever we need to support nonviolent approaches to ending the Israeli occupation and guaranteeing equal rights for all. Extremism that puts innocent lives at risk moves us no closer to peace.” She said not a word about the […]
Tlaib’s “Palestinian” village is wealthy and thriving as she whines about “oppression”
“War is deceit,” said Muhammad (Bukhari 4.52.268). Among “Palestinians” it’s a veritable art form. “Tlaib’s Palestinian village is thriving, but she is in denial,” by Akiva Bigman, Israel Hayom, August 21, 2019: What is it really like to live in the Palestinian village Beit-Ur al-Fauqa, where Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s grandmother and other family members live? […]
Rashida Tlaib and That Visit/Non-Visit to Israel (Part 2)
Let’s see what Miftah, the group that planned the trip to Israel/Palestine for Tlaib and Omar, left out of their itinerary, and why. No visit, apparently, was to have been made to Yad Vashem, which would have been an easy propaganda win for Omar and Tlaib. Feigned sympathy, a ready tear, some lines written in […]
What Tlaib and Omar Forgot to Mention at Their Press Conference
My latest in PJ Media: At her joint press conference Monday with Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) over their being barred from entering Israel, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) suggested that Israel was neither an ally of the United States nor a genuine democracy: “Denying a visit to a duly elected members of Congress is not consistent […]
Tlaib and Omar are all about weakening Israel, while staying silent on Hamas and Palestinian Authority
Indeed. And the establishment media gives them a pass on this, again and again and again. “Rep. Lee Zeldin: Tlaib, Omar all about weakening Israel, they stay silent on Hamas, Palestinian Authority,” by Rep. Lee Zeldin, Fox News, August 20, 2019: Rep. Zeldin: Omar, Tlaib telling lies to ‘play the victim’ in Israel dustup Israel […]
Rashida Tlaib and That Visit/Non-Visit to Israel (Part 1)
There are many aspects of Rashida Tlaib’s on/off/on again/off again visit to Israel/Palestine that are worth examining. Let’s take them in turn. First, there is the propaganda value of the whole absurd affair – what some are calling, the matter of optics. How do things look? No one quite knows who has come out ahead. […]
It’s all about the Benjamins: Far-Left group fundraises on Tlaib/Omar Israel ban
Was this part of the plan all along? After all, Tlaib and Omar set up the trip to ensure that they’d be barred. “A fundraising email sent by Democracy for America, a far left political action committee, implores readers to ‘chip in whatever you can to stand with her and [Rep.] Ilhan [Omar (D., Minn.)] […]
At press conference with Tlaib, Omar claims Israel is neither an ally nor a democracy
“Denying visit to duly elected members of Congress is not consistent with being an ally. And denying millions of people freedom of movement or expression or self determination is not consistent with being a democracy.” The sponsors of their trip have been linked to anti-Semitism and jihad terrorism. They had nothing to say about that. […]
