Dem Michigan AG calls out Tlaib for ‘cruel’ and hateful’ Israel comments
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel called for Rep. Rashida Tlaib to “retract” a “cruel and hateful” social media post after the representative attempted to justify the pro-Palestinian chant, “From the river to the sea.”
Nessel, a fellow Democrat, said that she previously defended Tlaib “countless times” because she believed that the representative’s “heart was in the right place.”
“@RashidaTlaib, I have supported and defended you countless times, even when you have said the indefensible, because I believed you to be a good person whose heart was in the right place,” Nessel wrote in an X post.
The Attorney General called out Tlaib for her “cruel and hateful remark,” saying that it was “hurtful to so many.”

The AG Democrat’s comments came after Rep. Tlaib defended the chant, “From the river to the sea.”
“From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate,” the Democratic congresswoman wrote. “My work and advocacy is always centered in justice and dignity for all people no matter faith or ethnicity.”
The video Tlaib posted to X before defending the phrase included demands for President Biden to support a cease-fire to stop “the genocide of the Palestinian people” or face electoral consequences in 2024.

In the video, Tlaib condemned Biden’s declaration that the U.S. stands with Israel and opposes a cease-fire, telling him, “the majority of the American people are not with you on this one. #CeasefireNow.”
Tlaib’s remarks sparked an outrage on social media, with Israel supporter’s blasting the representative’s remarks.
“From the river to the sea refers to the full erasure of the Jewish state, from Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. It is also the battle cry of Hamas, a savage terrorist group that beheads babies and rapes women. You echo terrorists,” StopAntisemitism, a nonprofit, wrote on X.
Representative Byron Donalds, a Florida Republican, wrote on X, “From the river to the sea is a rallying call for the erasing of the State of Israel. If that’s aspirational to you, that’s a problem. Stand With Israel.”
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene called for Tlaib to resign following her post.

“Terrorist Tlaib is promoting the genocide of all Jewish people in Israel and calls it aspirational,” Rep. Greene wrote in a X post. “‘From the river to the sea’ means to wipe out all the Jews and take their land from the river to sea. You should resign and go to Gaza and fight on the front lines for Hamas,”

Trump calls to ban US entry for immigrants wanting to abolish Israel: ‘Not going to get in’
Former President Trump said people who want to abolish Israel shouldn’t be allowed to enter America.
Trump made the comments during the Florida Freedom Summit on Saturday, where other 2024 GOP presidential contenders also spoke, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Sen. Tim Scott, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Vivek Ramaswamy.
“If you hate America, if you want to abolish Israel, if you sympathize with jihadists, and then you don’t want your country to do well, you don’t want your country to be successful, you’re just not going to get in, you’re not getting in, you’re not coming into our country,” Tump said.
Trump also proposed ideological screening for immigrants.

“On day one, I will restore the Trump travel on entering from having people that like to blow up our shopping centers and kill our people and do lots of bad things. Entry from plagued countries. We will not allow people to come in and will implement strong ideological screening for all immigrants,” Trump said.
Trump called for ideological screening for immigrants during his 2016 campaign as well, stating that “extreme vetting” needs to be in place.

“We should only admit into this country those who share our values and respect our people,” Trump said in 2016. “The time is overdue to develop a new screening test for the threats we face today.”
Trump’s comments come after he promised to deport immigrants who are publicly supporting Hamas during an Iowa campaign speech Oct. 16.

“We aren’t bringing in anyone from Gaza,” Trump also said at the event.

Marjorie Taylor Greene renews push to censure Rashida Tlaib: ‘Should be expelled’
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., on Saturday said she plans to reintroduce a resolution to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., over comments on the war in Gaza after her previous one failed to get enough votes in the House.
“I’m reintroducing my censure resolution against Terrorist Tlaib,” Greene wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “I am removing ‘insurrection’ and replacing it with ‘illegal occupation’ on Oct 18th that broke the same federal laws as Jan 6 and led to hundreds of arrest and assault on Cap Police.”
Greene was referring to a pro-Palestinian rally Tlaib attended during which activists took over much of the ground floor at the Cannon House Office Building.
Greene posted a photo of the 23 Republicans who voted against censuring Tlaib, calling them out as voting “no to censure Pro-terrorists Pro-Hamas Anti-Israel anti-Semitic Rashida Tlaib.”

She wrote that she hoped they “will use their freedom of speech in congress to censure (condemn) Terrorist Tlaib’s speech, lies, and actions that incited an illegal occupation on Oct 18th.”
She added, “They censured Adam Schiff so they should be able to vote to censure her. We can not stand by doing nothing while one of our colleagues calls for the genocide of our great friend and ally Israel. Terrorist Tlaib should be expelled but let’s see if we can at least censure her.”
Greene included something Tlaib wrote on X Friday that said, “From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate. My work and advocacy is always centered in justice and dignity for all people no matter faith or ethnicity.”
The phrase “from the river to the sea” was deemed a “code for eradicating” Israel by the Anti-Defamation League.

Tlaib has also accused President Biden of “supporting the genocide of the Palestinian people” in the administration’s backing of Israel on the war.
The war started on Oct. 7 when Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel.
Thousands have been killed in Israel and Gaza.
Hamas has also taken hundreds of hostages, according to the Israeli Defense Forces.
Tlaib called Greene’s effort to censure her “unhinged” and “deeply Islamophobic” in a statement.
“I am proud to stand in solidarity with Jewish peace advocates calling for a ceasefire and an end to the violence. I will not be bullied, I will not be dehumanized, and I will not be silenced.”
She added that she would continue to call for a ceasefire, for all of the hostages to be released and “for every American to be brought home.”
