Isreal has been under a hellacious barrage of missile attacks from Gaza. The 700+ and counting rocket attacks have been courtesy of Hamas, a well-known terrorist group. While Israel works 24/7 to protect themselves against the rocket barrage, there are certain members of Congress who would like Israel to be obliterated from the earth. Yes, I’m talking about Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.

“Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) on Sunday criticized The New York Times for its framing of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, calling the paper’s headline about the recent violence in the region “dehumanizing.”

Tlaib was responding to a Times headline that read “Gaza militants fire 250 rockets, and Israel responds with airstrikes.””

Yes, she said that. And tweeted the same.

When will the world stop dehumanizing our Palestinian people who just want to be free? Headlines like this & framing it in this way just feeds into the continued lack of responsibility on Israel who unjustly oppress & target Palestinian children and families. #FreePalestine https://t.co/p3X3j8WtwM

Please explain how over 700 rockets aimed specifically at Israel is dehumanizing to Hamas terrorists? That’s funny in a very macabre way. You see, Hamas has been long designated a terrorist group, since 1997 in fact.

Rashida’s little friend Ilhan had to chime in.

How many more protesters must be shot, rockets must be fired, and little kids must be killed until the endless cycle of violence ends?

The status quo of occupation and humanitarian crisis in Gaza is unsustainable. Only real justice can bring about security and lasting peace.

First of all, Hamas was on track to launch well over 1,000 deadly rockets into Israel.  The death of children and cililians in recent days is on Hamas, no one else.

Furthermore, the only occupation of Gaza is by Hamas and other terrorists. So no Ilhan, don’t try to sell us a pig in a poke and call Hamas innocents in all this. They are not.

Gaza is occupied by Hamas, not Israel. Hamas is funded by Iran and works against the interest of Palestinians. It terrorizes the Gaza population and shoots rockets into civilian areas of Israel. You seem to be an apologist for Hamas. Hope I’m wrong. #SaveGazaFromHamas

SEEM TO BE??!! Ilhan is an apologist for everyone and everything EXCEPT our country. As for Israel?Attacks like this leave her unmoved.

WATCH THIS VIDEO. Sound on.

That’s what it’s like for Israeli civilians in the south, millions of people, that are under barrage of rockets from #Gaza by #Hamas and #IslamicJihad for the last 7 hours nonstop#IsraelUnderFire pic.twitter.com/rzyLvkuDD4

Rashida and Ilhan, let me clue you in. Israel was definitely not asking for these attacks. Furthermore, Israel hasn’t done a damned thing against Hamas in like EVER. Yet here you two are, blaming Israel instead of the terrorists. Why?

Because the two of you have made your anti-Semitism clear, and are all too happy to have Pelosi, Democrats, the media, and terrorist apologists everywhere cover for you.

As Deanna wrote here, Hamas strategy was to overwhelm and overrun the Iron Dome. The visuals sent by the IDF clearly show the extent of the attacks by Hamas. Furthermore, if Hamas is just a poor misunderstood group of Palestinians, where did they get all the money for 700+ rockets? Iran and those damned pallets of cash.

Think about it. Tlaib talks about ‘OUR Palestinian people.’ This from someone who is:

A. An American citizen

B. A member of Congress

She is advocating for her people, who are terrorists.

Meanwhile, while the majority of Democrats in Congress are willingly silent on this matter, the newest Senator from Arizona (whom we had grave concerns about) tweeted this.

I condemn the rocket attacks on innocent civilians and stand in support of Israel and peace.

— Kyrsten Sinema (@SenatorSinema) May 6, 2019

Senator Sinema is correct. The rocket attacks were against civilians and came from terrorists. We should all be condemning that action, yet Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar are taking the very opposite stance. A stance that is against peace.

In the midst of the cease fire, Prime Minister Netanyahu issued a strong statement.

Netanyahu said the following:

““Over the past two days, we have hit Hamas and Islamic Jihad with great force, attacking over 350 targets and terrorist leaders and activists, and destroying terrorist infrastructure,” Netanyahu said in a statement.

“The campaign is not over and requires patience and judgment. We are preparing to continue,” the prime minister added. “The goal was and remains to ensure the peace and security of the residents of the south. I send condolences to the families and wish a speedy recovery for the wounded.””

What do Tlaib and Omar have to say about this?

“Islamic Jihad spokesman Musab al-Braim said that the “resistance was on the threshold of a new phase in repelling the [Israeli] aggression that could lead to an open war.” He said that in light of the continued “aggression on our people and the targeting of children, houses and the implementation of the policy of assassinations, we are on the threshold of this phase, and we will not have mercy on this enemy.””

They’re probably cheering the Islamic Jihad’s comments, because they’ve made it clear that terrorism by Hamas is justified until Israel is destroyed.

Sympathy for terrorism has no place in the U.S. Congress and needs to be soundly and unequivocally condemned by all. Sadly and shamefully, it won’t be.
