Disqualifying behavior.
[Order David Horowitz’s new book, America Betrayed, HERE.]
Rashida Tlaib (D-Khan Younis) was one of only 10 House members who refused to join the rest in condemning the atrocities carried out by Hamas on October 7. Instead, apparently unmoved by those reports of child killings, mass rape, torture, mutilation, and murder, Tlaib has continued to associate with Hamas-linked supporters, including six of her main fundraisers who have close ties to Hamas. Tlaib is also part of a hidden Facebook group — the Palestinian-American Congress — that has praised the jihadists who kidnapped and killed hundreds of civilians, including at least 33 Americans, on October 7. The founder of the group is Maher Abdel-Qader, who has referred to Israelis as “not real Jews” and questioned whether the Holocaust really happened.
The Facebook group, which Tlaib joined six years ago, has proudly posted several images of Hamas fighters following the terror group’s assault on October 7 that left at least 1,200 dead across southern Israel.
Now Tlaib has just addressed an anti-Israel conference put on by people connected to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a group which, like Hamas, has been designated by the American government as a “Foreign Terrorist Organization” (FTO). She was the surprise guest speaker, and star attraction, at the “People’s Conference for Palestine” held in Detroit on May 25. The organizers of that conference, and many of her fellow speakers, have been linked to the PFLP. Tlaib apparently had no qualms about appearing with them.
Others, however, think that her appearance at that recent PFLP-linked event was the last straw, and that Tlaib ought to be expelled from Congress for her close and unrepentant association with operatives linked to both-Hamas and PFLP. More on her possible expulsion, now being pushed by Congressman Mike Lawler (R.-NY), can be found here: “Lawler: Remove Rashida Tlaib from Congress for Speech at Conference Linked to Terror Group,” by Elizabeth Weibel, Breitbart,
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) called for Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) to be “removed from Congress” over a speech she gave at an anti-Israel conference that was linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO).
Tlaib had given a speech at the People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit, Michigan, on Saturday. The event that Tlaib spoke at featured speakers who were linked to the PFLP.
Lawler wrote in a post on X that Tlaib “should be removed from Congress immediately.”
“Associating with and speaking before groups that are funded by US designated terrorist organizations is disqualifying,” Lawler added.
Sana’ Daqqah, who was married to PFLP terrorist Walid Daqqah, was the keynote speaker at the conference. Another speaker was Wisam Rafeedie, an activist with ties to the PFLP, according to the National Review…
A November 2023 report from the Canary Mission found that Tlaib was connected to six activists linked to Hamas, the U.S.-designated terror organization behind the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel which left 1,200 people dead and more than 200 people taken hostage.
Canary Mission can confirm that at least 6 Hamas-linked activists fundraised for Tlaib during her 2018 Congressional campaign: Mwafaq Jbara, Sheikh Muhammad Qatanani, Huwaida Arraf, Salah Sarsour, Rafeeq Jaber and Abdelbaset Hamayel….
In her first Congressional campaign, in 2018, Tlaib relied heavily for fundraising on those six “Hamas-linked activists” named by the pro-Israel group Canary Mission. She has not severed her ties to those fundraisers even after the Hamas atrocities of October 7. 2023.
Since the October 7 atrocities by Hamas, Rashida Tlaib has doubled down on her support for the terrorist group. She was one of only ten members of the House of Representatives who refused to condemn Hamas for those acts. She still refuses to express even mild displeasure with the group. Nor has she tried to distance herself from the PFLP, like Hamas a “US-designated foreign terrorist organization,” instead making a surprise appearance at their recent Detroit conference, as their star speaker, at her pugnacious ease among so many members and supporters of the PFLP.
If a resolution for her removal from Congress is voted on, every Republican representative, and a great many Democrats too, should be willing to approve it, for Tlaib has gone far beyond even her Squad colleague Ilhan Omar in her brazen connections to people with deep links to both terror groups, Hamas and the PFLP. There will be no downside to voting against this tremendously unpleasant and wildly disliked Congresswoman. Even fellow “Progressives” try to distance themselves from her over-the-top remarks, including her frequent denunciations of her own government.. Go to it, Congressman Lawler. Overwhelmingly, the electorate will support you.
