Rep. Rashida Tlaib Belongs to the Democratic Socialists of America, Which Endorses Murder of Jews
Multiple local, state, and federal elected officials also affiliate with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
he Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) was already pretty explicit in its support for killing Jews after Oct 7. A DSA founder, Maurice Isserman, resigned after that “to protest the DSA leadership’s politically and morally bankrupt response to the horrific Hamas October 7 anti-Jewish pogrom.”
And it got worse from there.
The DSA pushed out Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez for being insufficiently anti-Israel and Rep. Jamal Bowman had to beg to be let back in. Both AOC and Bowman are militantly anti-Israel so this was up there with the KKK or the Nation of Islam kicking out members for not being racist enough.
Over the summer, DSA Palestine argued that, “One could (and should) very well argue that in a settler colonial context there are no such things as ‘civilians’, but disregarding that even, it’s total folly to honestly compare settlers perpetrating pogroms to resistance groups deploying violence to liberate themselves.”
Translated from academese gibberish that meant that Jews were not legitimately civilians and that Hamas was fundamentally more justified in killing Jewish civilians than Jews were in defending themselves.
The DSA’s Marxist (literally) Red Star Caucus was even more blunt with a post headlined, “We Do Not Condemn Hamas, and Neither Should You.” The post argued that, “Hamas is at the center of the popular front for resistance, all major parties in the resistance are aligned with it, and all of our enemies (the US and Israel) are against it. There is no way to oppose Hamas—or any other element of the popular front—without standing in stark opposition to the entire resistance movement.”
Now the DSA’s National site decided to die a toe in the terrorist pool, going beyond the usual selective bias, critiques of Israel, and hysterical attacks, while pretending that the Arab Muslim settlers who call themselves ‘Palestinians’ are just a mass of unarmed civilians.
Titled, ‘Why Palestinians Engage in Armed Struggle’, when you get past the lies and distorted history, eventually gets to the point.
“The military capacity of Gaza’s guerilla factions has demonstrated itself to be a singularly powerful force at reuniting Palestinians around the possibilities of a military path to liberation. Despite the ongoing genocide, support for armed resistance as a tactic has remained high since October 7th.”
The article makes it clear that Hamas is a part of these “factions” and then praises the “military capacity of these guerilla factions”, celebrates assorted Hamas victories, and claims that “armed struggle is one of the only available methods of struggle that remains for the Palestinian people.”
The DSA cautions that the article endorsing terrorism against Jews may or may not be its view. “Signed articles do not necessarily represent the views of DSA.”
Suffice it to say that the DSA is okay with promoting terrorism and with maintaining strategic ambiguity about whether it supports killing Jews.
This is significant because multiple local, state, and federal elected officials affiliate with the DSA.
While the DSA ousted AOC, and Rep. Cori Bush and Rep. Bowman lost races that the Left vocally blamed on the Jews, Rep. Rashida Tlaib is affiliated with the DSA, as well as multiple local officials including Sen. Julia Salazar in New York, Sen. Omar Fateh in Minnesota, Rep. Madinah Wilson-Anton in Delaware, Rep. Abraham Aiyash in Dearborn, Michigan (some of whom were already covered in the Freedom Center’s Election Jihad report).
And this is significant because while Rep. Tlaib’s views are obvious, her affiliation with a radical organization that supports Islamic terrorism and the murder of Jews provides a hard and clear linkage to terrorism.
