Rahida Tlaib cannot hide her anti-Semitism

"I'll get you, my pretty."

Leftist Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) made the outrageously anti-Semitic comment this week about Democrats. She said that they could not be considered "progressive" if they supported Israel's government.

Tlaib, born in Detroit to a Palestinian working-class family, is an overt Jew-hating anti-Zionist [but I repeat myself] with an extensive history of anti-Semitism. The creep has spoken at events where far-left activists have called for the elimination of Israel.

Last Tuesday, Tlaib spoke at a seminar held by Americans for Justice in Palestine Action (AJP Action) which was co-sponsored by American Muslims for Palestine (AMP).  “I want you all to know that among progressives, it has become clear that you cannot claim to hold progressive values, yet back Israel’s apartheid government,” she said, implying that in order to be considered "progressive," you must call for the destruction of Israel.

“We will continue to push back and not accept this idea that you are progressive, except for ‘Philistine,’ any longer,” the hateful Tlaib continued.

Tlaib is so disgustingly outrageous that even many leftists and activists, such as ADL Jonathan Greenblatt condemned her for her remarks. He tweeted:

“In one sentence, Tlaib simultaneously tells American Jews that they need to pass an anti-Zionist litmus test to participate in progressive spaces, even as she doubles down on her antisemitism by slandering Israel as an apartheid state. It’s absolutely reprehensible and does nothing to advance the cause of peace. We call on people of goodwill and leaders across the political spectrum to make clear that such antisemitism will not be tolerated.”

But it isn't as if Tlaib is the only leftist to harbor such strong anti-Semitic, anti-Zionist sentiments.  Her "Squad" sisters, Reps' Ilhan Omar, AOC, and Ayanna Pressley, for example, have all spewed their anti-Zionist views.

The Anti-Semite Twins

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) tweeted: 

“I fundamentally reject the notion that one cannot support Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish and democratic state and be a progressive. … I would happily put my progressive record and credentials up against anyone’s. It is both wrong and self-defeating for progressive leaders to abide such an offensive litmus tests.”

“That’s right, Chairman Nadler,” Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL) tweeted. “And remember, there are progressive activists, progressive students, and progressive Members of Congress whose support of democratic Israel is fundamentally a part of their progressive values. They all belong at the table. We will not be silenced.”

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) tweeted: “There’s nothing progressive about advocating for the end of Israel as a Jewish State. Nothing progressive about opposing the Abraham Accords, which promotes peace. Nothing progressive about opposing Iron Dome, which protects civilians from indiscriminate rocket fire.”

“The outrageous progressive litmus test on Israel by @RashidaTlaib is nothing short of antisemitic,” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) tweeted. “Proud progressives do support Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish and democratic state. Suggesting otherwise is shameful and dangerous. Divisive rhetoric does not lead to peace.”

It's amazing that Democrats have done nothing about these anti-Semitic clowns in their party, but some were skeptical. Pradheep J. Shanker, a physician tweeted:  “Unless you punish such antisemitism, its [sic] all talk. So, you have a chance to be better. Punish the anti-semites in your party, Take the high road. DO BETTER.”

Writer Peter Roff tweeted: “Why don’t you move to kick her off her committees like you all did to a Republican for similar reasons?”

The Left never kicks leftists off committees because for them, power is more important than morals. We see it with our open border and our relationship with our enemies, China and Iran.
