Rashida Tlaib says thinking of the Holocaust provides her a 'calming feeling,' shockingly claims Palestinians created 'safe haven' for Jews

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., has made yet another shocking and historically ignorant claim: That thinking about the Holocaust gives her a "calming feeling" because her Palestinian ancestors provided a "safe haven" for Jewish victims of the tragedy.

Tlaib, a close ally of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who is no stranger to anti-Semitic controversies herself, made the latest statement on a podcast called "Skullduggery" in an episode titled "From Rashida with Love."

"There’s always kind of a calming feeling I tell folks when I think of the Holocaust, and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors — Palestinians — who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence in many ways, have been wiped out, and some people's passports," Tlaib said just after the 28 minute mark. "And just all of it was in the name of trying to create a safe haven for Jews, post-the Holocaust, post-the tragedy and the horrific persecution of Jews across the world at that time. And I love the fact that it was my ancestors that provided that, right, in many ways. But they did it in a way that took their human dignity away and it was forced on them.”

Except for that inconvenient little fact that they want to exterminate Israelis and drive them into the sea.

Good. The more she spouts off, the more something will have to be done about it.
This is just too weird for words. I actually thought it was an 'The Onion' article from the headline.

If ordinary Jews don't leave the Democrat Party after all the blatant antisemitism, then I just don't know what to say.
Maybe they are suicidal or something. I don't know? I can't figure it out? This is exactly like Jews joining the Nazi Party. What are they expecting? What to they think is going to happen.

It makes no sense at all for a Jew to be a Democrat.
