It’s strange Tlaib won’t endorse her, because if elected, Kamala Harris will do everything the pro-Hamas people want. She’ll push for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, leaving Hamas still standing, able to regroup, and to recruit new members as it brags that it withstood “the mighty Zionist army.“ She’ll want to use American taxpayer dollars to “rebuild” Gaza so that the people there can enjoy the “independence” and “self-determination” and “security” that they “so rightly deserve.” And Harris will push for that will-o’-the-wisp “two-state solution” by pressuring Israel to agree to be squeezed back within the 1949 armistice lines — that Abba Eban famously described as the “lines of Auschwitz” — with a nine-mile-wide waist from Qalqilya to the sea.
That “Palestinian state” — whether run by the PA or by Hamas – when ready will resume attacks on what would then be a much-reduced state of Israel, and with help from other Arabs, strive to achieve the ultimate goal — the replacement of Israel, in its entirety, by the twenty-third Arab state of “Palestine.” More on Tlaib’s refusal to endorse Harris can be found here: “Rashida Tlaib Refuses to Endorse Kamala Harris for President Due to Gaza Policy,” by Corey Walker, Algemeiner, September 13, 2024:
US Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) refused to issue an explicit endorsement of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris on Thursday, instead encouraging voters to throw their support behind candidates who support a ceasefire in Gaza.
While speaking on a panel at the Annual Legislative Conference in Washington, DC, an event sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Tlaib expressed dismay over Harris’s unwillingness to adopt policies advocated by the pro-Palestinian movement. The Michigan congresswoman suggested that the Harris campaign was taking a “risk” in angering voters by continuing to support Israel’s defensive military operations against the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas in Gaza.
Tlaib told moderator Mehdi Hasan, a progressive journalist and prominent critic of Israel, that some of her constituents in Michigan did not want to cast a ballot for Harris, the incumbent US vice president, because they “don’t want blood on my [sic] hands.”
“I tell them, ‘OK, but there’s other people on this ballot that support a ceasefire. There’s other people on this ballot that can protect our community,’” Tlaib said….
Yes, there is the inimitable Cornell West, World’s Greatest Authority. And the forever candidate Jill Stein. Both of them support “an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.” Cast a vote for them, Tlaib advises, just to show Kamala Harris that she can’t take the Muslim vote for granted.
Earlier this year, Tlaib helped spearhead the “Uncommitted” movement in Michigan — an initiative which encouraged voters to withhold their support for the Democratic nominee until they adopted anti-Israel policies. Tlaib argued that the initiative was necessary because Arab Americans have supposedly felt “neglected” and “unseen” by the federal government….
Obviously Tlaib is unaware of the dozens of high-level appointments of Arab- and Muslim-Americans, including some involving national security, that have been made by the Biden administration.
Tlaib, the only Palestinian American woman in Congress, has often accused Israel of committing “genocide” in Gaza and of orchestrating a campaign of “ethnic cleansing” and erecting an “apartheid” regime in the West Bank….
Ah, yes, according to Tlaib and so many other antisemitic nitwits, Israel commits “genocide.” But let’s look at the numbers. In 1967, when Israel took possession of Gaza, the population of the Strip was 400,000. In 2005, when Israel pulled out, that population had more than tripled, to 1.3 million. In the West Bank, the story was the same. In 1967, when Israel took it over after the Six-Day War, the Arab population was 900,000. Today it is three million. What “genocide” can Tlaib be thinking of?
Tlaib still refuses to condemn Hamas for the Oct. 7 atrocities. She was the only voting member of the House who refused to vote for a resolution condemning the mass rapes of Israeli women and girls. She has been attending gatherings with people linked to Hamas. And now she is withholding support from Harris for not being sufficiently anti-Israel and pro-Hamas.
But I can reassure her. What Tlaib doesn’t realize is that Harris has already called — six months ago, in fact — for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza. If she hasn’t emphasized that demand just now, it’s only in order not to alienate pro-Israel voters, but if she wins, she’ll be calling again for an “immediate and permanent ceasefire.” And she’ll be ready to withhold both more weapons for Israel, and more vetoes at the U.N. Security Council. Whether Tlaib and other pro-Hamas voters withhold their support for Kamala Harris, Kamala Harris won’t withhold her support for them.
How on earth could any decent US citizen vote for such a person?
Who says they are decent US citizen. It’s probably mostly Muslim immigrants voting for her.
Can we call a spade a spade?
Trashida Tlaib is a terrorist. She may not have the guts to pick up an AK 47 but her mindless support for Hamas and mindless hatred for Israel makes her what she is and always has been.
She is a terrorist. The sad thing is that she is actually in Congress. And who put her there? Our first terrorist supporting President…..Barack Obama. He is the P.O.S. who imported the Muslims who are rapidly gaining control of Michigan and Minnesota.
Harris is your typical Liberal Democrat/Globalists behind this Invasion of America supported by the UN/CFR
If Tlaib splits the Leftist vote, that has to be good news for Mr. Trump, surely.
Dear Ms. Tlaib,
Why don’t you and your friends vote for Trump? That will hurt Harris more!
Part 2
Should United States be partitioned, giving up part of its territory to a bunch of illegals from 20 – 30 different countries because they are considered an uniquely distinct people by some elitist foreign non-governmental body? That’s the same with the Palestinian argument, including recognizing American born Rashida Tlaib as a Palestinian American. There are no distinct Arab people called Palestinians and Yasser Arafat (an Egyptian born in Cairo) appropriated the word Palestine to name his terrorist organization, the Palestinian Liberation Organization. Rashida Tlaib and Yasser Arafat are similar in that they were born in one country, yet align themselves with a fictional Arab people who are trying to kick the Jews off their biblical homeland. Yet somehow, it’s the Jews who are labeled as the illegitimate party (ironically) living on a land rich with an archaeological treasure trove proving a timeline of the ancient Israelite nation.
Oops even though the comment box allows up to 5000 characters and my original post was 422 words, 2148 characters long with no spaces and 2571 words with spaces, I couldn’t post it as is because I got the following message: Your comment is too long—try shortening it a bit.
So I’m forced to break it up in 2 parts:
PART 1
Rashida Tlaib was born on July 24, 1976 in Detroit, which makes her an American. I wish everyone writing articles would stop saying she’s a Palestinian – American. This is the reason for all these fake Arabs saying that they’re Palestinian. Check your Mandela Effect at the door, the illegal (by the way) U.N. partition divided the land into Jewish and Arab sectors, neither side were called Palestinians. The Jews prior to partition had a loosely organized government in waiting. The Arabs that resettled in the remainder of the post WW1 British Mandated Territory of Palestine flooded in after the war because prior to that, the Ottoman Turks prevented outside Arabs from settling in their territory. The Arabs that flooded into the post-WW1 British controlled territory were no different than today’s economic (illegal) migrants that have invaded United States.
These Arabs in the remainder of the post WW1 British Mandated Territory of Palestine (78% of the territory was broken off to create Jordan) were a ragtag bunch of tribal Arabs that had nothing in common with each other. The fatal flaw of the Western oriental thinkers of post WW2 was to believe that these Arabs were a distinct people. Prior to the U.N. partition, these Arabs were not unified nor did they have a government in waiting. As a result of the 1948 war, these Arabs were just absorbed into Egypt (the Gaza Strip), Jordan (the West Bank) and Syria (The Golan Height). When Israel won these lands back in the 6-Day War, all of a sudden the U.N. is demanding Israel return this land back to a fictional and distinct Arab people called Palestinians.
If she could, she would elect Linda Sarsour for president.
