In a recent pro-Hamas event, Representative Rashida Tlaib delivered a passionate speech filled with expletives, which was met with fervent applause from the audience.
The event, titled "People's Conference for Palestine," took place in Detroit and featured speakers who expressed extreme views, including one who referred to America as "evil" and another who called for the globalizing of the intifada.
According to RedState, Tlaib's speech was reminiscent of her infamous "impeach the (expletive)" days, and her anger was palpable. The Michigan Democrat was addressing an audience that largely supports a terrorist organization and views the United States and Israel as the real terrorists.
Tlaib's speech was filled with fiery rhetoric. They thought they could kill us, rape us, imprison us, violently uproot us from our olive tree farms, starve our children to death, and we would disappear," she told the audience. "Well, guess what? Now were in Congress and were in every corner of the United States.
She continued, "Yall, they just dont get it. They just dont get it! They will never truly comprehend, even after seven decades, that we arent going anywhere. We are just getting started. I want to say to all of them, every genocide enabler: Look at this room, motherf***ers. We aint going anywhere!"
Tlaib's speech was not the only controversial moment at the conference. Sachin Peddada, a Ph.D. student, had earlier referred to America as "evil." Speaking on a panel titled No Weapons for Genocide: The People Demand an Arms Embargo," Peddada argued that Americans cannot understand the plight of the Palestinian people.
He suggested that the idea of America should be destroyed in Americans heads so they can see the humanity of everyone outside of American exceptionalism and imperialism.
We live in an evil country, Peddada added, a sentiment that was met with applause from the conference attendees.
Another speaker, activist Huwaida Arraf, used the phrase "globalize the intifada," a term often heard at pro-Hamas rallies and seen as a green light to terror.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) released a statement criticizing the conference, stating that it was "lionizing those who support violence against Jews." The ADL also expressed concern over Tlaib's participation, noting that she shared the stage with speakers affiliated with terrorist organizations.
Tlaib's attendance at the conference was not her first. She attended the same event last year, where she criticized then-President Joe Biden and expressed her support for anti-Israel students on college campuses.
Tlaib's actions and statements have raised questions about her allegiances. She has previously expressed outrage over airstrikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen, despite the fact that the Houthi rebels are an armed terrorist group.
In 2023, Tlaib was censured for anti-Israel comments and for promoting war propaganda from Hamas.
Tlaib's continued presence in Congress despite her controversial views and actions has led to calls for her removal. Critics argue that she consistently sides with terrorists and promotes harmful propaganda, making her unfit for her position. The question remains: how much more will it take for members of Congress to take action against Tlaib?
