Last night, Twitchy reported on a pretty hilarious political cartoon directed at one of the members of the Hamas Caucus, Rashida Tlaib. You can read the Twitchy article here, but in case you missed it, here is the cartoon:
Shame on the @detroitnews for allowing this racist, xenophobic vile cartoon on their platform.

Pay attention to who condemns this. And then recognize the different standard Arab and Muslim politicians are held by. pic.twitter.com/nkDKon1mJH
LOL. Pretty funny, right? Political cartoons are only funny when they are able to capture a kernel of truth and this cartoon has an entire microwave popcorn bag full of kernels.
So, naturally, everyone in the Hamas Caucus and their surrogates in state government like Abraham Aiyash above was OUTRAGED.
That's RAAAAAYYYYYCCCCIIIIIST, they shrieked.
But the story got even better last night when the subject of the cartoon, the ignoble Tlaib herself, decided to chime in.
Thank you, Mayor @AHammoudMI, for speaking up. Our community is already in so much pain right now. This racism will incite more hate + violence against our Arab & Muslim communities, and it makes everyone less safe. It’s disgraceful that the media continues to normalize this… https://t.co/JTn2mur4Yj

It's kind of perfect that the last word from Tlaib's tweet got cut off here. Can you guess what that word was?
We'll give you three tries, but you'll only need one:
... It’s disgraceful that the media continues to normalize this racism.
There it is. Weird how the cartoon is racist when it is only directed at one person -- the terrorist sympathizer Tlaib -- and not at all Arabs or Muslims.
But this is the gaslighting game they play. Fortunately, Twitter wasn't having any of it and fired back at Tlaib with both barrels.
What does “From the River to the Sea” normalize, Rashida? pic.twitter.com/69WzMIVK83

Oops.
See, 'from the river to the sea' is the definition of racism since it is directed at a population, not a person. Oh, and it is intended to incite and celebrate the annihilation of that population.
But that, of course, is lost on Tlaib.
If you would just stop wanting to get Jews killed… https://t.co/vQmALPXAPt

She will never stop because that is what she wants. She even says it out loud sometimes. So, of course, she tries to deflect from that by playing the victim.
They support terrorists & incite violence against Jews then cry racism when people call them terrorist lovers/terrorists https://t.co/AcEqBOGjEE

HAHAHAHAHA. Throw it right back in her face.
Others were less subtle:
You’re a terrorist-loving scumbag https://t.co/o0meBB8csb

Welp. We can't really argue against that point.

Sorry your friends got their nuts blown off because they worked for a terrorist organization.
— Aldous Huxley's Ghost™ (@AF632) September 21, 2024
Not sorry even a little bit.
Thanks for bringing that cartoon to my attention! I almost missed a good laugh. pic.twitter.com/dmjZ0up878
— BadgerJer (@BadgerJer) September 21, 2024
The Streisand Effect was absolutely in full force last night. As Tlaib and her confederates went on Twitter to complain about how no one should look at that cartoon, it only resulted in more people seeing and laughing at it (and her).

BOOM.

Your community is in pain. Specifically their crotches. https://t.co/RypnT7QsBI

We giggled a little bit there.

There is no violin tiny enough for Tlaib's whining about how the cartoon nailed her dead to rights.
Sorry, but it's not "racism" to make fun of you're choice of "friends", you daft bint. https://t.co/2l7rwJ0hxY

We tried. No lie detected.
What is your position on Hezbollah?
— MP (@PrimeMojo) September 20, 2024
That's a great question that Tlaib will never answer. And in never answering it ... she answers it.
— Jerry Avenaim (@avenaim) September 21, 2024
Hey, look. It's another dead-on, balls-accurate political cartoon for Tlaib to complain about.
We hope she does. The more she whines about getting accurately lampooned, the more people will see the cartoons that accurately lampoon her.
She could stop all of this by simply coming out and denouncing antisemitism, affirming Israel's right to exist, and demanding that Hezbollah stop firing rockets indiscriminately into Israeli civilian population centers.
She never will. And that tells us all we need to know.
We can't wait for the next cartoon.
