Last night, Congress did the right thing on a controversial topic: the House voted to censure Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib for, among other transgressions, repeatedly calling for the destruction of the Jewish state using an explicitly and famously genocidal slogan.
It was controversial because the combination of partisan loyalty and personal interest means members of Congress rarely censure their colleagues. Censure is the most serious reprimand shy of expulsion from the House, and Tlaib’s genocidal incitement, cheering on the violent designs of those already attempting to carry out their murderous aims, certainly earned it. Her behavior was so unbecoming a member of Congress (or, one might be tempted to add, a member of society) that 22 Democrats joined most Republicans in voting in favor of her censure.

Israel is the ONLY country in the middle east where it is safe for Christians, Jews and Muslims to live and worship and for LGTB people to be out in public.

Lebanon was once the only Christian dominant country in the Middle East. The city of Beirut was considered the Pars of the Mid East. Then Hamas showed up. Jordan took in Palestinians and they tried to overthrow the king. Hamas weapon smuggling became so egregious in Egypt that Egypt built a wall with concrete 20 feet into the ground. Most intelligent people understand “Free from river to sea” means purging the land of Jews.

Ms. Tlaib is a propagandist's dream. Anything anti-US, anything anti-Israel, and pro-facist is believed by her and I'd regurgitated word for word by her.
