Palestinian Rashida Tlaib is Dem Version of Racist Steve King

coffee addict –

You do not like Tlaib because of her views on Palestinians vs Israel.
As she is a Palestinian and has family living in the Gaza Strip, her views on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict are very understandable.

She is doing exactly what all the Jewish congressmen who vote constantly in favor of Israel and can never find a single fault with what Israel does.

How can you compare that with King who wants to further his racist agenda against minorities in America ?

Trump and his supporters chanting for a ” complete and total shutdown of Muslims entering the United States ” is a perfect description of “rabid anti Muslim white people. ” Do you support him ?

1 – Which murderers does she support ? Please bring proof.
She probably considers Israeli soldiers murderers . I support every single Israeli soldier.

I answered the question. She only needs to be sanctioned when she says something that deserves sanctioning.

You have to start looking at things from her perspective and not from your own.

Do we live in Israel , Saudi Arabia or the USA ?

Her positions and rhetoric on EY and the Palestinian issues have crossed the line from simply a J-Street view of a two-state solution and condemnaion of the “occupation” to blatant anti-semitic hyperbole. On most other isues, especially domestic policy issues, she is clearly what we now call progressive but not nearly as far left as another NYC congresswoman who also has become a media star for the Dems. I suspect she will pull back the rhetoric over the next few months under pressure from her colleagues.

… only from 7 countries…

jackk, i’m glad to see somebody in these comments who actually can understand what the other side is going through and that criticizing the government of Israel is legitimate.

Coffee addict and 1 :

I do not agree with her at all on anything she says about Israel or Palestine. She hasn’t advocated the death of anybody.

This thread is only about comparing her to Steve King.

I pointed out the difference and why she is not being censured.

I don’t have to respond to stupidity like “get a clue.” Why the YW moderators allow this Onoas Devorim to be posted, I am not sure.

You have both proven my point that she has not said or done anything that deserves censuring from the body which she is a part of – the congress of the USA.

if Trump would have repeated constantly ” a complete and total shutdown of Jews entering the United States ” you would not be satisfied that he only blocked Jews from 5 countries. You would be rightfully mad at the anti-Semitic rhetoric that got him elected.

Some argue that th Republicans have “already distanced” themselves from King and somehow that sets them up on a higher madregah than the Dems. Really??? King has been making these types of increadingly racist an hateful comments for over 10 years to nearly total silence from the Republican leadership under 3 leaders. The Trumpkopf honored him by making him an assistant Campaign chairman in 2016. Finally, in a desparate effort to head off even more draconian democratic efforts, including possible expulsion from Congress, the “fearless” Repulican leadership gets behind a watered-down resoluton of censure condemning racism an white-supremacism. The reality is that the leadership of BOTH parties has been slow to immediately call out and denounce the racist and hateful rhetoric on their extremes. To characterize the Republican leadership postion on King as a “Profile in Courage” is hysterical.
