 Rashida Tlaib Will Host Congressional Event To Mourn 'Catastrophe' of Israel's Founding
Anti-Semitic Democrat will cohost event with radical groups that defend terrorists

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) will host a congressional event this week to mourn Israel's founding alongside an array of anti-Israel groups, some of which have defended terrorism.

The Wednesday event marks the "Nakba," a Palestinian term for the creation of Israel that loosely translates as "catastrophe." Though Tlaib is listed as a "special guest" on the invitation, the event will take place at the Capitol Visitor Center, whose event space can only be reserved by a sitting member of Congress.

Tlaib's cosponsors include Jewish Voice for Peace, a "radical anti-Israel activist group" that pushes the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and has come under fire for glorifying Palestinian terrorism. Other organizers include Emgage Action, another BDS supporter that claims Israel is an "apartheid state," and Americans for Justice in Palestine Action, an advocacy group that claims Jewish money is infecting politics.

 Rashida Tlaib hosts anti-Israel event at the Capitol despite Kevin McCarthy’s move to block it

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) on Wednesday held an event at the Capitol decrying the founding of Israel as a “catastrophe” despite House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s move to block it.

The event, hosted by Tlaib and organized by nine anti-Israel groups, was moved at the last minute to the Senate side of the Capitol complex after McCarthy intervened late Tuesday to reserve the space in the Capitol Visitor Center where Tlaib’s event was initially slated to be held.

A source familiar with the matter told The Post that Senate committee chairs are responsible for approving rooms used for events.

Tlaib’s event was held in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Hearing Room in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, a panel chaired by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

During the event, Tlaib confirmed that Sanders allowed her to use his committee’s room.

A source close to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said he was “totally unaware” that the event would be hosted on the Senate side of the Capitol.

Tlaib, a member of the far-left “Squad” of congressional lawmakers, took to Instagram minutes before the event started and issued a cryptic message.

“I think folks need to be reminded, nothing stops Detroit,” Tlaib said in a video filmed right outside the Capitol Building.
