She meant Auschwitz. And at a shindig thrown by Obama honoring Jews, she felt completely comfortable saying it straight into the face of a Jew on camera. That's how brazen Jew haters are. And Jews apparently have a long well-deserved reputation for effectively emboldening such reprehensible behaviors. That's what I see with these possibly well-meaning shtetl mentality idiots of the Jewish left. "Let me tell you how nice I am, and then I am sure you'll like me." Jew haters will not like you, they will crush you. There is nothing wrong with being nice to people, and we should never forget that, but survival needs a two-pronged strategy. Sometimes you need to punch back and I mean hard. Israel punches back. Diaspora Jews once looked at that proudly, until they started getting some guff about it. <br />I know an Israeli guy here in FL, who was in the IDF with Yonatan Netanyahu. He wasn't picked for the Entebbe mission. This is one of the biggest regrets of his life. He so wanted to go on that mission with not a single reservation about the danger. And still he seems to me a person embracing life to its fullest. I wish I had this guy's balls. <br />Many Jewish leaders here, it seems, are afraid to say no to a bunch of lying left wing pip-squeaks, and find ways to justify such bad behavior. <br />JeffwithaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073609950380822171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-64370072111012261252019-08-15T13:19:54.403-07:002019-08-15T13:19:54.403-07:00Mike,

Those are her "roots." In the Arab/Muslim "world" "free speech" allows one to say anything negative about Israel and Jews, but if one says anything positive about Israel, the death threats follow. Just ask the former Miss Iraq. This brave young woman has called out Jew hater Ilhan Omar for her antisemitism and her support for the Muslim Brotherhood. This is to a great extent, maybe even mainly, who she represents in Congress. Tlaib wrapped herself in the Palestinian flag. <br />Tlaib, born in the USA, and her children, and children' children, are "Palestinian refugees." There was never a state of Palestine or nationality.<br />The Palestinian cause is an extortion racket. Let's all stop paying. <br />JeffwithaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073609950380822171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-66921287581181534492019-08-15T10:49:14.817-07:002019-08-15T10:49:14.817-07:00Tlaib makes an impassioned argument for boycotts, ...Tlaib makes an impassioned argument for boycotts, but for some reason doesn't understand that such a right cuts both ways. The Nazis boycotted the Jews and so have the Arabs for 100 years, both for racist antisemitic and only too obvious supremacist reasons. Using Ms. Tlaib's logic, we are compelled to boycott the PLO, the PA, Hamas, and all like minded organizations and those who support them including BDS (using their own model of secondary boycotts), not to mention a boycott of Tlaib and Omar. <br />The US doesn't let certain political figures enter the country. The UK won't let in any prominent speaker who might make a peep that there could be a problem with radical Islam. <br />These two dark skin & vagina wearing Jew haters put on their itinerary that they were traveling to "Palestine." Enough. <br /><br />Re: Bernie<br /> Bernie lived his life ranting and raving about rich people, (apparently, they have all of his money). He was a Socialist and couldn't get more than 10% of the vote. Then he became an Independent. Then he runs for President, not as a Socialist or as an Independent, but as a Democrat, taking advantage of the perks and largesse that could afford him and his campaign. In doing so, he was simply following the lead of the hard left over the last several decades in infiltrating with the intention of taking over through subversive means.
