Rashida Tlaib (D-Khan Younis), that “unpleasant in all respects” congresswoman, she of the wide-mouthed bass aspect, is furious yet again. She is angry this time because the House of Representatives has passed a bill prohibiting the State Department from citing figures on casualties — wounded and dead Gazans — that come from the Gaza Ministry of Health, which is controlled by Hamas. After all, Hamas is a terrorist group whose operatives have raped, tortured, and killed people. Why wouldn’t its operatives lie as well? Tlaib, however, doesn’t think the Hamas figures should be doubted.
More on Tlaib’s latest diatribe can be found here: “Rashida Tlaib Fumes Over US House Vote to Prohibit State Department From Citing Hamas Casualty Figures,” by Corey Walker, Algemeiner, June 27, 2024:
The US House of Representatives on Thursday passed a measure that would prohibit the US State Department from using funds from the international affairs budget to cite casualty figures from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Ministry of Health, sparking backlash from Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI)….
Tlaib lambasted her peers in the House for the vote, suggesting that they harbor deeply-ingrained “racism” against Palestinians. She dismissed the amendment as an effort to “dehumanize” Palestinian people.
No, Rashida mavourneen (may I call you “mavourneen”?) There is no “racism” here. Hamas, you see, has been known to lie. Often. It lied when it claimed that the IDF carried out a “massacre in Jenin,” in which 500 “innocent civiians” were supposedly killed. It turned out that there had been no massacre; that 52 people were killed and of those 52, at least 45 were terrorists. And the IDF lost 23 of its own men during that so-called massacre. And it lied when it claimed last fall that an Israeli rocket had hit the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza, “killing 500 civilians.” Investigation revealed that it was in fact a rocket launched by Palestinian Islamic Jihad that misfired, fell short, and landed not on the hospital, but on a parking lot next door. And there were not “500 people killed” but about 50. How many of those 50 were Hamas operatives is not known. There are many other instances of Hamas lying. Take the denial by its leaders on October 8 that there had been any atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7, either at the kibbutzim or at the Nova Music Festival. A little googling will lead you to many of them.
“Since 1948, there has been a coordinated effort, especially in this chamber, to dehumanize Palestinians and erase Palestinians from existence,” Tlaib said before the vote. “My colleagues want to prohibit our own US officials from even citing the Palestinian death toll.”
The Gaza Health Ministry — which is run by the Hamas terrorist group in control of the Palestinian enclave — manages the health care and medical services in the Gaza Strip. Experts have cast doubt on the reliability of their figures for systematically overcounting the number of casualties and not distinguishing between civilians and terrorists as part of a strategy to tarnish Israel’s public image.
Hamas does not distinguish between civilians and terrorists in the figures it provides the media via the Gaza Health Ministry because it wants the world to believe that they were almost all civilians. But then Hamas finally had to provide a breakdown giving the total numbers of women and children who had been killed. Since February, Hamas had maintained that more than 9,500 women and 14,500 children had been killed so far in Gaza. The UN had been reporting similar figures for nearly two months. Yet on May 8, the numbers reported by fell to fewer than 5,000 women and 8,000 children — a reduction of more than 11,000 fatalities in all. The UN did not call attention to the change, which was buried in the fine print of one of its many updates on Gaza. But a handful of journalists noticed. The first wave of headlines put the UN on the defensive: “United Nations halves estimate of women and children in Gaza,” and “UN revises Gaza death toll,” with many more along the same lines.
Hamas first tried to make the media report that “37,000 people have been killed, almost all of them women and children.” And for some — the careless and the credulous — that strategy worked. I have heard NPR reporters, and Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, and AOC, all claim that so far “there have been 37,000 women and children killed in Gaza.” They continue to overlook the UN’s admission that the true figure was fewer than 5,000 women and 8,000 children killed, a figure that Israel continues to dispute. The IDF has calculated that by that time — early May — it had killed 16,000 Hamas combatants. It also added to this figure the number of Gazans who die a natural death each month — 800 — or 6400 during the eight months of fighting. The total of the two is 22,400. And when we add the revised figures now accepted by the UN, of 5,000 women and 8,000 children killed so far in Gaza, to the numbers both of combatants killed, and of those people in Gaza who died a natural death, we arrive at a figure of 35,400, which is close to the figure of 37,000, the number that Hamas wanted the world to believe consisted only of women and children.

In short, Rashida is a piece of “shida.’

Make that Rashida T A L I B …
Talib lends a familiarity to her m.o. ..?

I haven’t read where the House Democrats have kicked this vile person out of their caucus, though.

Thanks Hugh!!!!
Intrepid says
Trashida Tlaib (D. Gaza) is always furious about something. That square mouth of hers is always wide open. I wonder how many bugs have flown into that lockjawed pie hole of hers
Maha says
That image of her throwing a fit in almost every picture I see of her, reminds me of the images they show when “muslims are angry”. They are always angry. Meanwhile, this harridan is up for re-election in Dearborn, the Jihad center of America. Now if we could only take away the vote of pro-Islamist terror voters, someone else would have a chance to knock her out of her seat.
Alkflaeda says
Hopefully she has riled enough people for all of the non-Muslims to turn out in force for Polling Day.

1- “Palestinian” is a terrorist organization. Not a nation.
2- The terrorists dehumanize themselves. BY their acts, constant racist hate speech, and endless lies. 3- Leaving no option but to eliminate them all, rightfully so, once they declare their jihad AKA genocide.
4- Shame on evil leftists in the US for allowing such freakish terrorists in the country, let alone in the government. The left is obviously suicidal, but the rest of us don’t have to die with them.
5- We fight to end, and we will win.
MuggsSpongedice says
Who votes for these racist terrorist POS’s? There are insane possessed angry people in the USA and they are on the left and they vote for these demonic POS’s
Maha says
Tlaib’s district includes Dearborn, so, there you go.
Dartson says
I would add that Hamas counts any person under 21 as child, which includes a significant number of young terrorists.
World@70 says
I would think the massacres Hamas claims are just expressions of what they would want under the same conditions of 10/7. We know the Gaza concentration camp bull used as a pretext for their surprise attack is a lie.
The Hamas claim of “no atrocities committed on October 7, either at the kibbutzim or at the Nova Music Festival” is ludicrous given that their attack on peaceful, unarmed civilians was an atrocity.
RAM says
Ugky inside and out.
David Sugarman says
Using the last paragraph’s figures, the number of terrorists killed is 16,000 while the number of civilians is 15,000 – A 1:1 ratio as the IDF asserts
Pancake Rachel Corrie says
Why doest she take all her “palestinians” and move back to “palestine?”
BLSinSC says
She should be expelled and DEPORTED! If you don’t LOVE America – LEAVE It!!
L. S. Head says
She looks suspiciously post-menopausal and may suffer from that scourge PMS. That would account for her hot flashes…….
Alkflaeda says
If there isn’t a surah in the Qur’an that mandates upholding another person’s taqiyya, it’s only because Mohammed didn’t think far enough ahead, as Tlaib’s behaviour proves.
CraigAustin says
Turn Gaza in rubble, then dust, then glass.

Atikva says
The only really lethal weapon against the existence of Israel – and of the Jews in the rest of the world – is the thick fog of lies spread by the Arabs and their leftist allies since the end of WWII. From the pallywood videos to the unashamed negation of images taken by the very perpetrators of atrocities on October 7 and the laments about the Israeli non-existing genocide of the pseudos-palestinians religiously spread by our western medias, all and everything is lies, lies, lies.
Of course, lying has been one of the favorite weapons of the Arab world from the dawn of times: “Their lie is an easy stratagem and one’s most ready defense to mislead his enemy… and this lying mouth is indulged by the Arabian religion.” (Charles Doughty, Arabia Deserta, 19th century). Only second in this category of traditional liars are the various fascist regimes, from Russia to Germany, to Cuba or China.
If it were not for the counter-truths spread by the government-controlled medias, there would be no “Middle-East unrest” – no Eurabia, and no Biden at the White-House.
Andrew Blackadder says
She just looks smelly.. If you catch my drift..
