Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) in a Tuesday statement criticized her colleagues’ attempts to silence her, saying they were more focused on controlling her words than saving the lives of people in Gaza under siege from Israel’s attack on Hamas. The House later Tuesday is expected to vote on two separate measures censuring Tlaib over remarks she has made about the Israel-Gaza war. “It’s a shame my colleagues are more focused on silencing me than they are on saving lives, as the death toll in Gaza surpasses 10,000. Many of them have shown me that Palestinian lives simply do not matter...

The progressive House "Squad" member has leveled a barrage of criticism against the leader of her party over his response to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, even as she fields criticism from fellow Democrats over her own reaction to the crisis. "You see this right?" Tlaib wrote to Biden on her Instagram Story on Sunday afternoon. She had shared a report from an outlet known as TCD News claiming that an Israeli airstrike had killed three children in South...

Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., after she attempted to justify the pro-Palestinian chant, "From the river to the sea,"... In response, a group on X called StopAntisemitism told Tlaib what the phrase actually means, saying it refers to "the full erasure of the Jewish state, from Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea."

I am urging you. I am pleading with you. I am imploring you. Wake up! The irrational hatred of the Jewish people and the demonizing of Israel is reaching proportions so dangerous that if people of conscience do not stand up, speak out, and push back, Jewish blood will start flowing in America, England, and many other countries around the world. Wake up! When Muslims in Sydney Australia are chanting, “Gas the Jews” you know that violence is near.

House lawmakers voted Wednesday to torpedo a resolution censuring Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) for her harsh criticisms of Israel in the wake of Hamas’s deadly attacks last month. The effort required 23 Republicans, joined by all Democrats, to vote in favor of a procedural motion that blocked the disciplinary resolution from reaching the floor. The final tally was 222 to 186. The vote was something of a surprise: Tlaib, a staunch liberal who’s been harshly critical of Israel, has few fans in the GOP when it comes to Middle Eastern politics. It’s unclear why several Republicans came to her rescue...

The pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas movement in the U.S. is a “real danger” and could be “bigger” than Black Lives Matter (BLM), Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday, walking listeners through her decision to file a resolution to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), whom she claims led an “insurrection.” Greene spoke about the pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas movement growing in the states and identified it as a “real danger,” predicting that it could become bigger than BLM. “The one I have my eyes on right now is the free Palestine, pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas movement, which is turning into...

“The View” co-host Joy Behar called out Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-MI., on Tuesday for repeatedly refusing to admit Israel was not responsible for an explosion at a hospital in Gaza and accused her of spreading “lies like Trump.” “The View” co-hosts discussed antisemitism amid the war between Hamas and Israel. Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin called out Harvard graduate students and others for claiming that Israel was “entirely responsible for the unfolding violence.” “That is what Jews have faced since before the Holocaust, but since the Holocaust. They are one of the only groups whose right to exist is constantly questioned...

Video: Palestinian Kindergarten Graduation in Gaza Shows Kids Taught to Be Terrorists and Kill Israelis

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) called for an “independent investigation” into the bombing of a Gaza Strip hospital on Monday, continuing her refusal to accept US and Israeli findings they say show Islamic Jihad terrorists were behind the atrocity. “Media outlets and third-party analysts have raised doubts about claims and evidence offered by both Israel and the Gaza Ministry of Health, and I agree with the United Nations that an independent investigation is necessary,” Tlaib said in a statement. “I cannot uncritically accept Israel’s denials of responsibility as fact, especially in light of confirmation from the World Health Organization that Israel...

This week a rocket landed in the parking lot of a hospital in Gaza killing hundreds of non-combatants. The New York Times immediately spread Hamas' assertion that Israel was responsible. Others like the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, CBS, MSNBC, Rueters, CNN, Associated Press, and BBC did the same. These reports inspired violent protests in various Muslim countries throughout the Middle East. Audio and video evidence has since confirmed that the rocket originated from a Hamas unit trying to fire it into Israel. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich) dismissed the evidence and blamed Israel's "apartheid policies for driving Hamas to take...

LOS ANGELES, CA — Merchandising companies released an updated version of the iconic 'COEXIST' bumper sticker this week with the Star Of David removed and replaced by the image of Hamas paragliders. "The best way for everyone to coexist peacefully is by killing off the Jews," said liberal activist Molly Stanton. "It was high time we decolonized the 'COEXIST' message." According to makers of the sticker, the paraglider symbol of murderous Hamas terrorists encapsulates the freedom and tolerance that all true liberals yearn for. "This change helps convey how serious we are about peaceful coexistence," said sticker designer Deandra Martinez....

Dr. Eli David @DrEliDavid: Clown Trudeau becomes the only Western leader who condemned Israel for the Gaza hospital blast, before evidence emerged that a terrorists' misfired rocket caused it 🤡 No wonder no world leader takes this clown seriously...

Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) hastened to social media in the hours after a deadly explosion wracked a Gaza Strip hospital on Tuesday, pointing her finger at Israel as the perpetrator. Without pausing to check and confirm sources as the original reports first came in, she said on X – formerly Twitter – that “Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that.”

A video purportedly from 2019 shows Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the progressive Democrat of Michigan, saying that Israel and the Palestinian people should “coexist” after being asked if the former has a right to exist. In the video obtained by Fox News Digital, the Michigan representative is seen having a spirited conversation with a self-described “concerned Jewish constituent.” “Separate but equal doesn’t work, it didn’t work with Blacks and Whites in our country, it shouldn’t work in Israel,” Tlaib says at the beginning of the clip. “Right?” The person who took the video, who asked not to be publicly identified, pressed...

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt) condemned Israel's vow to blockade Gaza until the hostages taken in Hamas' terror attack are freed, calling it "a war crime. Targeting civilians is a violation of the Geneva Conventions of 1949. I know that the Hamas attack targeted unarmed men, women, and children, but since when do two wrongs make a right?" Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich) condemned Israel's "cruel occupation of Palestine for the massacre of unarmed Jews. The juxtaposition of prosperity on one side of the wall between Israel and Gaza and poverty on the other is dehumanizing. It is not surprising that Palestine's...

New York Rep. Dan Goldman tried to turn the tables Wednesday to accuse “conservatives in the South” of hoisting swastikas at rallies in an effort to avoid criticizing fellow Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan for her refusal to condemn Saturday’s terrorist attacks on Israel. Goldman was sitting for an interview on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday when host Lawrence Jones began trying to get the New York congressman to condemn certain members of his party who had not yet spoken out against the horrendous acts of terror committed by Palestinians against on women, children and old people...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a tragic development, the Pride flag displayed outside Representative Tlaib's office in the Capitol was tossed off of a roof by the Palestinian flag she had been keeping adjacent to it. "We are deeply saddened that the Palestinian flag, who we thought just wanted peace and autonomy, suddenly yeeted the Pride flag off the roof," said Ms. Tlaib in a statement. "We of course are saddened by the tragic attack on the LGBTQ community, but equally saddened by the oppression that forced the peace-loving Palestine flag to commit this terrible act. At the end of the...
