Rep. Rashida Tlaib is always outraged, and you can dismiss it most of the time. Now she’s outraged that the State Department is going ahead with the Trump-era plan to build the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem “on land stolen from the Palestinians.” It seems this is one extreme position not shared by the Biden administration.
I’m outraged that the @StateDept is moving forward with plans to build the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem on land stolen from Palestinians. By doing so, the U.S. is complicit in the illegal confiscation of Palestinian property. @POTUS should reverse this Trump era policy immediately.

“The illegal confiscation of Palestinian property.”
Is there any land in Israel that you believe isn’t stolen?

To be clear, an American Congresswoman is *outraged* that the United States is building an embassy in West Jerusalem, the capital of Israel, and without proof, she is claiming that the land was stolen.
It's a lie, designed to incite hate, and she knows she can get away with it.

Wow you're outraged again? No way.

How do you think these "Palestinians" came by that land?

Ah there's that antisemitism that people claim was a Right thing…

I guess it's not bigotry and anti-Semitism when a "progressive" does it…

Don’t act like you’re surprised by this, you lying grifter.
2020 DNC party platform on Jerusalem: “it should remain the capital of Israel, an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths.”
Joe Biden also said the same: pic.twitter.com/Yqp1D5IkKI

Stolen? You do realize your ancestors stole OUR land right?

Never a word for Iranian women, never a word for LGBT+ in Arab countries, not a word against Qatar…but when it comes to Israel, she lit up. So from the Holy land, go fck yourself!

Jerusalem is the ancient capital of Israel, captured during a defensive war. Meanwhile, the Palestinians have never presented a good faith peace plan or accepted any of Israel's good faith peace plans. When your policy is all-or-nothing, sometimes you're left with nothing.

I am shocked that you promote this nonsense. Jerusalem was not stolen. It is the historical capital of Israel. What you need to do get the Palestinian people to reject their current criminal leaders and see if a 2 state solution is possible.

Got receipts for prior "Palestinian" land? Hint: Israel does, and have purchased land legally.

Since you’re do deeply concerned with “stolen land” when will you be moving off American soil?
— Rosie Memos (@almostjingo) January 18, 2023
You’re a terrorist sympathizer. Your outrage is irrelevant.

Spoken like a true anti-semite

If only you’d focus on your district as much as you obsess over Israel.

Are any of the squad members going to join in on this? It seems right up their alley. Or is Tlaib going it alone? This might be the one Trump policy decision that Biden didn’t overturn.
