No One Is Safe With Rashida Tlaib Serving in Congress

On September 3, nearly two years after the October 7 massacre in Israel, Yemeni ballistic missiles and drones barreled toward the Holy Land. While most attacks were thwarted, air raid sirens shattered the calm and sent people scrambling for shelter, forever haunted by the day that thousands of Jews were murdered – a stark reminder that the war between Israel and Hamas rages on.

Amid the furnace of violence and smoke-stained skies, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (MI-12), who has somehow served in Congress since 2018, was on U.S. soil, standing safely behind a podium, demanding the same war be brought to America.

At a People’s Conference for Palestine event in Detroit, Tlaib’s shrill rhetoric was clear: “What’s been tested on the killing fields of Gaza is already being deployed right here in the streets of America. What our government is willing to do to Palestinians they are willing to do to all of you.” Tlaib delivered a passionate speech about the love she has for the country she so diligently serves – Palestine.

Add your name to the petition: Censure Antisemitism in Congress.

The room, seemingly filled with Hamas supporters as indicated by the applause, listened intently as if she were giving a call to action:

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. Well, guess what? Now we’re in Congress and we’re [in] every corner of the United States. . . . We are just getting started. I want to say to all of them, every genocide enabler, look at this room ****. We ain’t going anywhere.

Rep. Tlaib is no longer speaking into a void. The terrorists who walk among us are listening to her, praising her, and will, at some point, likely act for her. Tlaib also condemned politicians on both sides of the aisle who support Israel:

As an American, [Detroit] taught me that the political structures that I have to work in, that we are surrounded by, was built on slavery and genocide and rape and oppression. Detroit taught me that these institutions will never save us. Detroit will remind me constantly, the community mothers, that it’s not the genocide enabling Congress or the White House that will free our people. It is only us. It can only be us.

Also, at the SAME conference, terrorists were not only glorified but also given a platform. Hossam Shaheen, who was imprisoned for two decades in Israel on charges of attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder, is a member of the designated terror organization Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades (AAMB). He spoke remotely at the conference.

As a result of her radicalism, Rep. Tlaib is being hit with another censure threat from Congress, meaning, if it goes to a vote and passes, she’ll get a slap on the wrist for inciting a war in the United States. She was already censured in November of 2023 for comments that she made regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict and her use of the phrase “From the river to the sea."

Rep. Tlaib has no issue serving as a Member of Congress while working alongside terrorists, and what’s worse is how open she is about being a terrorist sympathizer.

In 2024, I told you how she was one of two House lawmakers to vote against a bill that would have stopped Hamas terrorists from entering the United States. She tried to justify her vote in a statement: “H.R. 6679 is unnecessary because it is redundant with already existing federal law. It’s just another GOP messaging bill being used to incite anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian, and anti-Muslim hatred that makes communities like ours unsafe.”

In August of 2021, I told you about a disgusting racist trope she made at the Democratic Socialists National Convention:

We also need to recognize – and this is for me as a Palestinian American – we also need to recognize as I think about my family and Palestine that continue to live under military occupation and how that really interacts with this beautiful Black city that I grew up in,” Tlaib began, referring to her hometown of Detroit. “You know, I always tell people, cutting people off from water is violence from Gaza to Detroit. And it’s a way to control people, to oppress people. And it’s those structures that we continue to fight against.

I know that you all understand the structure that we’ve been living under right now is designed by those that exploit the rest of us for their own profit,” Tlaib continued. “I don’t care if it’s the issue around global human rights and our fight to free Palestine or to pushing back against those that don’t believe in the minimum wage or those that believe that people have a right to health care and so much more. And I tell people, those same people, that if you open the curtain and look behind the curtain, it’s the same people that make money and, yes they do, off of racism, off of these broken policies. There is someone there making money and you saw it! . . . .

Yes, free speech belongs to the people, but we must recognize what is occurring: When a sitting Member of Congress openly amplifies terrorist talking points, minimizes Hamas atrocities, and vilifies the United States as irredeemably corrupt, she emboldens the very enemies sworn to destroy us. Rep. Tlaib’s words do not simply exist in the abstract – they animate radicals, fuel anti-American hatred, and give legitimacy to those who dream of carrying Gaza’s battlefield to American soil. Censure is a start, but it is hardly enough.

The question confronting every American is this: How long will we tolerate a Representative who stands with terrorists instead of her own country? Join us as we call on Rep. Rashida Tlaib to be censured.
