Rashida Tlaib to host "Nakba Day" at US Capitol

Devout anti-Israel/anti-Semite Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) will be partnering with anti-Zionist organizations that support the BDS movement: Boycott, Divest and Sanction Israel movement designed to destroy the Jewish State.

The congresswoman is headlining an event at the Capitol building this week that opposes the founding of Israel. It's known as "Nakba 75 & the Palestinian People."

The word "nakba" means 'the disaster' or 'catastrophe.' What it has come to mean is anti-Jewish persecution by the Arab and Muslim world.

 Let me 'splain:

"Nakba" refers to the founding of Israel in 1948 and the supposed disintegration of Palestinian life in Israel. For people like Tlaib who adopt this narrative, Israel and the Jews are the only ones to blame for the displacement of Palestinian Arabs between 1947 to 1949, and see themselves alone, as the only victims of the conflict. 

By refusing to take into account that the Palestinian-Arab refusal to accept a two-state solution in 1947, and the little tidbit of information that the Palestinians and Arabs tried to destroy the Jewish State, the Nakba narrative advances the victim claim and the pretense that they, not the Jews, have an historical basis for the Palestinian "right of return," notwithstanding the Old Testament that shows the Jews were there long before Islam was even a religion.

Historically, the term initially became associated with the Israeli-Arab conflict in August 1948, known as the Israeli War of Independence, while the fighting raged on. And when a Syrian academic and diplomat based in Beirut, Constantine Zurayk, published "Maana al-Nakba" (The Meaning of the Catastrophe).

Zurayk blamed Arab leaders for the Nakba, because they couldn't get the job done by winning the war while Arab civilians hightailed it out of the area. It was never seen as alleged to be a premeditated Israeli plan to displace the local Arab people, but that's what the narrative later claimed.

In fact, Zurayk's  Pan-Arab ideology indicated that he didn't even consider the Nakba to be just about the Palestinian "catastrophe" but one that mainly affected the entire Arab world and their push for world domination.

Now Tlaib's event is scheduled for Wednesday and is slated to commemorate the "Nakba" and supported by BDS organizations that hate Israel or bought into the pseudohistory that was invented to support it. Such groups include Jewish Voice for Peace, a leftist group based in the US, as well as NGOs that have expressed support of terrorism.

Tlaib, who was born to Palestinian immigrants who came to Detroit, refers to Israel as an apartheid state, and like her squad "sister" Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has made anti-Semitic remarks and was never directly called out on them, [e.g., the Jews control the world].

Gilad Erdan, the Israeli Ambassador to the United Nation, said of Tlaib's posting of a tweet about Nakba that her “ignorance and hate toward Jews and Israel know no bounds” when she again called Israel an "apartheid state born out of violence and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians."

Erdan wrote: “Tlaib’s ignorance and hate toward Jews and Israel know no bounds. The facts are clear: the Arabs rejected the U.N.’s resolution to establish a Jewish state and started a war to annihilate it,” referencing the fact that in 1948, five Arab armies attacked the nascent state, with full support from the Palestinian leadership.

“Palestinian leadership is leading its people to catastrophe by inciting hate/terror and rejecting peace,” Erdan wrote.

Sadly, however, like today's information disseminated by the media, people never get the full story. In this case it's the haters who were only given an anti-Semitic point of view.
