Rashida Tlaib's anti-Israel event

[Anonymous]

Progressive "Squad" member Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., doubled down with her plans to host an anti-Israel event after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy canceled it, vowing that Palestinian Americans "will not be silenced."

Tlaib said Wednesday that she would defy McCarthy and move forward with plans to host an event recognizing the "Nakba," a Palestinian term for the 1948 founding of Israel that translates to "catastrophe." She moved the event to a Senate hearing room and later declared, "Let the headlines read ‘McCarthy tries to erase Palestine but fails.’"

The speaker had condemned her plans as "antisemitic" and preempted her by reserving the same event space on the House side of the Capitol for a bipartisan commemoration of Israel's 75th anniversary, which lands on May 14.

This event at the U.S. Capitol is canceled," McCarthy tweeted late Tuesday. "Instead, I will host a bipartisan discussion to honor the 75th anniversary of the U.S.-Israel relationship."

So, what do actual Senators think about this event?

Conservatives yammer non-stop about free speech and "censorship" but now we see their true feelings. Tlaib's event was to recognize a historic event that was tragic for Palestinians. Describing it as "anti-Israel" is like describing a Pearl Harbor Day event as "anti-Japanese".

If Tlaib was being shutdown by a Stanford University dean instead of the Speaker of the House, conservatives would be screeching like stuck pigs. But no free speech for those who don't adhere to the party line.

So, it's not anti-Israel even though Nakba is translated as "Catastrophe?"
And, here she is lamenting the existence of Israel while missiles are raining down on Tel Aviv.

Yes, I think that when you are kicked out of your homeland it is reasonable to call it a "Catastrophe". Here you are denying the Palestinians their history while Israeli missiles rain down on Gaza.

How do you think the Plantains who were expelled should feel? Should pro-Israeli politicians quit yammering when missiles are raining down on Gaza?

Lately I've become convinced that any discussion of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is simply impossible due to the stunning ignorance, sometimes on both sides, but mostly on the part of Israel's overseas supporters. This is my standard to engage:

- if you cannot explain, without googling first, the gist of Absentee Property laws and the concept of Present Absentees in Israel, you are too ignorant to have an opinion.

I take it you're not a fan of UN resolution 181.

What do you think happened to most Palestinian homeowners caught on the wrong side of the lines?

Before or after the Arab Liberation Army and subsequently its Arab allies illegally and in violation of the UN resolution launched a war of aggression (actually annihilation) against the Jews of Israel?

DP.

I care.

I think it's revolting that Tlaib is holding this event.

I welcome the full implementation of resolution 181. Do you?

Did the Palestinians? Azzam Pasha? The Arab states?

Had they respected the UN resolution, the history of the region would be entirely different. That's what makes Tlaib's event so revolting.

Palestinian leadership and their allies violated the UN resolution, launched a war of annihilation, and blame everyone but themselves for the consequences.

And to answer your question, I would no longer support implementation of the 181 map, but absolutely favor a 2 state solution.

How many years later can a war justify apartheid? Did the Zulu wars justify South African actions in the 70s?
