Well before Michigan Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib was elected to the U.S. House she was telling us who she really is, and she has continued to do so throughout her time in Congress, wearing her anti-Semitism on her sleeve for all the world to see.
For anyone who had doubts, her response to the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians—she blamed Israel for the 1,400 Israelis who Hamas murdered, had no comment on Hamas decapitating babies and raping women, and falsely blamed Israel for the Gaza “hospital bombing” that wasn’t—should have put those doubts to rest.
But just in case those doubts weren’t put to rest, Tlaib removed them on Friday when she tweeted what appeared to be a self-produced video where she not only accused President Joe Biden of supporting “the genocide of the Palestinian people” but included a reference to the anti-Semitic “from the river to the sea” chant.
For those who missed it, watch:
Other protest chants included in the clip were “No peace on stolen land!” and “The occupation’s got to go!”
Tlaib, of course, was called out by people who understandably were outraged, including Professor Jacobson:
In response to the outcry, Tlaib posted a follow-up tweet in which she claimed that “from the river to the sea” was not about death and destruction but instead was about a “peaceful coexistence”:
Fact-check: Nope.
Rashida is a liar. Why? Because the chant “From the river to the sea” is a translation of the original Arabic chant “from the water to the water, Palestine will remain Arab.” This is a genocidal call to ethnically cleanse the land from all non-Arabs i.e. the Jews.The original Arabic chant: من المية للمية فلسطين عربية
And from pro-Israel Democrat Congressman Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.):
Hamas is on a mission to wipe out Israel “from the river to the sea”—a mission from which it will never cease despite calls for a ceasefire.“From the river to the sea” is not “an aspirational call” for “peaceful coexistence.”It is a genocidal call for ending the existence of the world’s only Jewish State.
Most of all, we know what Tlaib said regarding it being about “peaceful coexistence” is most definitely not true simply by not looking away from the gruesome photos and videos taken from the Nova festival, which paragliding Hamas terrorists invaded on October 7th, also blocking civilians at exit points.

Those trying to understand what he’s saying, here’s a crash course into Hebrew, the horror version:“Siman hayim” – sign of life“Mishehu?” – anybody?“Pzuim” – injured“Haruga” – dead (female)“Harugim” – dead (plural)“Meta” – dead (female)“Bevakasha” – pleaseHe’s going around begging for someone to show signs of life. But there’s only death.
Hamas, too, has explicitly stated that they won’t rest until Israel is “annihilated”:
We have at least one sitting member of Congress who agrees with Hamas. I sure hope all the woke types in the media and on the left who gleefully ushered women like Tlaib into office in a woke blaze of glory are proud of themselves because the Hamas Caucus—Tlaib especially—have turned out to be even worse than their critics said they’d be.
