'Democrats excuse the murder of Jews': Rashida Tlaib condemns Israel for defending itself from Hamas terror attacks

Well, we can’t say we’re shocked by this tweet from Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI):

When will the world stop dehumanizing our Palestinian people who just want to be free? Headlines like this & framing it in this way just feeds into the continued lack of responsibility on Israel who unjustly oppress & target Palestinian children and families. #FreePalestine https://t.co/p3X3j8WtwM

But, seriously — WTF:

Are you f*cking kidding me with this?

Israel was asking for it?

This. 1000X, this ==>

This is nothing short of a US Congress member justifying terrorism. Hamas wouldn't have to lob 100s of rockets into civilians areas of Israel if the Israeli gov't wasn't "oppress[ing] & target[ing] Palestinian children and families." https://t.co/QYWiRzgPnY

We don’t doubt she believes it either:

If you follow her logic here, she's saying that anyone who fights back against Palestinian terrorism is "dehumanizing our Palestinian people," i.e. Palestinians have an inherent right to kill Jews. I have no doubt she believes this. https://t.co/8jjsIbND6j

You know, there would be zero airstrikes if Hamas would stop firing rockets at civilians:

700 #Hamas rockets into #Israel
All aimed at and killing civilians

Some even killing Palestinian kids when they fall short because your terrorist friends don't care

Stop the terrorism first
Then we can talk https://t.co/hW5jvwERm5
