The Rot is Deep

To give you an idea of how pervasive anti-Israel sentiment is within the regime in Washington, consider this: Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (Michigan; the western half of her district is Detroit) is infamous for her anti-American and anti-Israel views. A crude, profane beast, Tlaib is of course surrounded by like-minded sycophants. Now comes word that her staffer Rasha Mubarak also hates Israel.

Recently, six Palestinian terrorists escaped from an Israeli prison. All six were eventually caught. That didn’t stop Mubarak from praising them!

The Islamic Jihad and Al-Aksa Martyr’s Brigade prisoners are responsible for deadly attacks. Yet Mubarak, who is being groomed for leadership in the Democrat Party, has a long sad record of this kind of support. According to a report from Frontpage:

“Mubarak has promoted material from Hamas-supporting media, including the Palestine Info Center and Shehab News, both of which are directly affiliated with Hamas and publicize the group along with shocking anti-Semitic cartoons of evil looking Orthodox Jews. In July 2014, Mubarak copied onto Facebook a post from Falastin News Palestine, a site that glorifies Hamas and PIJ fighters as heroes; outright states, ‘God bless Hamas’; features numerous photos of armed masked terrorists interacting with little children; and showcases photos of dead US and British Jews murdered in a Jerusalem synagogue, grossly referring to the dead as “occupiers.

“In June and July 2020, Mubarak posted memorials onto her Twitter and Facebook pages for car-ramming terrorist Ahmed Erekat, who was shot and killed after attempting to run over a female Israeli border officer, at a checkpoint east of Jerusalem.

“This past March, Mubarak tweeted a video honoring deceased Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) spokesman Ghassan Khanafani as a ‘martyr.’ Khanafani was responsible for the May 1972 Israel Lod Airport massacre, which left 26 innocents dead, including 17 Christian pilgrims from Puerto Rico. On the video, Khanafani is adamant about the fact that his group refuses to engage in any peace talks with Israelis, even if lives would be saved as a result, saying it would amount to ‘capitulation.’”

Chillingly, Mubarak has said that the Palestinians will “channel our pain.” This is an overt threat to Israel and Jews everywhere. Yet America’s ruling class and political community not only don’t condemn evil mouths like Mubarak, they reward such behavior.

Mubarak is a consultant and acts as Finance Minister for Tlaib. Such grotesque behavior from an American politician is disturbing. It should not be acceptable.

Combine all this with the fiendish “Biden Administration” and you can see that Israel has special challenges. And, as an aside, I have to say that I believe Naftali Bennett basically participated in a coup of sorts in his country, unseating Netanyahu with “creative politics” in the Knesset.

And the Tlaib/Mubarak fiasco is not an isolated case. Of the 535 members of Congress, only a minority truly supports Israel. Dems give lip service to the “we always support our great ally, Israel” line while at the same time grooming radical leftists to take over control of the party.

Make no mistake: for DECADES, America has “elected” anti-Israel leftists, whether at the state or federal levels. From Tom Hayden in the California Senate, to majority leaders like Tom Daschle, the lip service in public has masked an evil agenda to place Israel in peril.

As always, we rely on the God of Israel for our strength, rather than profoundly evil politicians.
