This is EXACTLY, the commnt by Talib that the Right wing is calling anti-semitic. 

"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. 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."

In the comment where she is supposedly belittling the Holocaust she says it was a tragedy. 

Liz Cheney truncated the comment to this 

"There’s always kind of a calming feeling, I tell folks, when I think of the Holocaust."

Here is the proof that Cheney truncated the comment. Here is in a Cheney tweet

“Here’s @RepRashida direct quote, ‘There’s a calming feeling I always tell folks when I think of the Holocaust.’

Do you see the period at the end of Cheneys sentence? 

Trump also repeated Cheney's slander. 

The problem, John, is that Tlaib seems to me making some kind of moral equivalency between the holocaust and whatever you think the Palestinians went through via their history with Israel.

That is indefensible and democrats are fine with it!

Not really. I thought it was more like she would like it recognized that some Palestinians accepted Israel and now she wishes they would all just have peace.

In either case her comment is not anti-semitic.

BTW, are you in favor of Liz Cheney blatantly misrepresenting Talib's remarks?

I'm not in favor with what Liz Cheney did. She did what so many politicians do, she took part of a sentence and used it to try to make her point. That's just wrong no matter who does it.

But I think you are being way to generous with the comment by Tlaib. If she truly meant it how to describe then she did an absolutely terrible way to explain it. And IMO she double-downed on it when she attacked back rather than explain what she meant. But then, IMO her entire comment seems to be an attempt to try to rewrite history. The way she tried to explain how (even allowing for some) Palestinians accepted Israel and had no problems giving up what they had ,  it does not seem to match up with the British histories of the same time.

She has a point of view. I think she is somewhat misrepresenting the history, but that doesnt necessarily make her anti-semitic either.

The Palestinians have a right to tell their story, if it is all wrong that can be pointed out as well.

I thought it was more like she would like it recognized that some Palestinians accepted Israel and now she wishes they would all just have peace.

You really got that from what she said?

In either case her comment is not anti-semitic.

Oh yes, she IS a Jew hater!

BTW, are you in favor of Liz Cheney blatantly misrepresenting Talib's remarks?

Liz Cheney was spot-on, as she usually is.

Liz Cheney was spot-on, as she usually is.

Liz Cheney essentially lied, by clipping off Talibs comment mid sentence and putting a period after the new "sentence".  Maybe you are so used to accepting Trump's constant lies that you are losing some ability to tell the difference.

I think she is somewhat misrepresenting the history, but that doesnt necessarily make her anti-semitic either.

I agree that what she said wasn't necessarily anti-Semitic...it was, however, more than a 'misrepresentation of history'.

The Palestinian leader Grand Mufti Haj Amin el Husseini was actually an ally of Adolph Hitler and met with the dictator in 1941 .

The Arabs were Germany’s natural friends because they had the same enemies as had Germany, namely the English, the Jews and the Communists. Therefore they were prepared to cooperate with Germany with all their hearts and stood ready to participate in the war, not only negatively by the commission of acts of sabotage and the instigation of revolutions, but also positively by the formation of an Arab Legion.

This isn't creating a 'safe haven for Jews'. Hitler's loss was their loss.

She really needs to clarify her statements...because she cannot re-write history to calm her feelings.

Liz Cheney essentially lied, by clipping off Talibs comment mid sentence and putting a period after the new "sentence". 

Now all of a sudden you are concerned about context. The opposite of what you do with the words of the President. Didn't I correct you on that famous misquote about Trump supposedly asking the Russians to hack Hillary's e-mails?

This isn't creating a 'safe haven for Jews'. Hitler's loss was their loss.

The safe haven for the Jews was only realized after the war.  When Talib defends Grand Mufti Haj Amin el Husseini notify me. I will condemn her for that as well.

The safe haven for the Jews was only realized after the war. 

Yet I can find no information about the 'safe haven for Jews' online ....

The British authorities, while they were still in charge of the “Mandate for Palestine,” sided with Arab demands and placed significant restrictions on Jewish emigration from post-War Europe to the Holy Land. Refugee ships were turned back. Some Jews trying to enter the historic Jewish homeland were placed in internment camps. Haj Amin al-Husseini was anointed by the Arab League as the leader of the Palestinian Arabs, although he remained outside of the territory to avoid capture. Al-Husseini brooked no dissent from his extreme anti-Jewish position. On November 23, 1946, Fauzi Darwish el-Husseini, a relative of Haj Amin al-Husseini but an opponent of his who had sought reconciliation with Jews in the Holy Land, was assassinated.

....Abd al-Qadir al-Husseini soon took command of the Army of Holy War, which launched several military operations against Jewish forces in Jerusalem. These attacks included blowing up the Jewish Agency headquarters in Jerusalem, killing 12 and injuring 86 Jewish civilians. They occurred after the United Nations General Assembly had recommended in November 1947 a partition of the land inhabited by Jews and Palestinian Arabs. Jews accepted the UN proposal. The Palestinians and their supporters in neighboring Arab nations rejected it. In April 1948, Abd al-Qadir al-Husseini was killed during a battle and was lionized as a hero by many in the Arab world. When Israel declared its independence in May 1948, Palestinians, joined by armies of their neighboring Arab countries, launched a war against the Jews. This apparently is Rep. Tlaib's perverted notion of her ancestors' efforts "to create a safe haven for Jews, post-the Holocaust."

Cheney took her out of context. Of course, it's funny to watch the same people who continue to falsely claim Trump called white supremacists "very fine people" get upet about it.

The out of context snippet aside, her's statement is still horribly inaccurate. It's the equivalent of David Duke saying his southern ancestors were just trying to create a haven for black people in the South.  Her ancestors were Nazi collaborators who pushed Hitler to slaughter the Jews in the Middle East. 

Her ancestors were Nazi collaborators

And you know this how? Is she a descendant of one of the Palestinians who admired Hitler?

She's speaking in the collective John. She's tried to take credit for the acts of the Palestinian people as a whole. 

Nancy P says....give her some slack ! She (Talib) ...… Nows not what she does. "Ignorance is Bliss" !

After all, the Palestinian Arabs didn't know what they were doing when the Mufti types sided with the engineers of the Holocaust ...….

…… the NAZI's !

if the NAZI's screwed them, oh fucking well. They sided with the wrong fucking side !

Liz Cheney fraudulently took Talib's words out of context. She is following in her disgraced daddy's footsteps. 

Liz Cheney fraudulently took Talib's words out of context.

What was Talib's "Context" again ?

Ya know ……. What she REALLY meant !

You can do it. That's the "Liberal" go to every time one of their own Fucks up !

I'm not answering any more such questions. The main tactic of the right on this site is to ask "questions" which are either obvious, or have already been answered.  This is the so-called "sealioning" activity. The rest of us should all boycott you guys. 

I'm not answering any more such questions.

Answering just the One would be nice anyway.

Her context is inherent within her statement.

deleted for context             I dont like trolling on my articles.

I commented on the article itself with true statements. You made the choice to confront me on my comment about the "Article", as if you actually wrote it and you were protecting your baby, although with a ludicrous statement about Liz Cheney being some kinda fraud.

Funny thing....

Fraud and Talib seem to go together ........... much better.

although with a ludicrous statement about Liz Cheney being some kinda fraud.

Cheney blatantly mis-stated Talib's comment. And yes, adding a period in the middle of Talib's sentence is a falsehood. The period changes the meaning of the words.

So there is nothing "ludicrous" about saying Cheney lied.

Cheney blatantly mis-stated Talib's comment.

In whose eyes ?

"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 on the podcast's most recent episode, published Friday. "And, just all of it was in the name of trying to create a safe haven for Jews,"

During the Holocaust, Palestinian Arabs were Nazi Sympathizers. I guess that FACT about her ancestors still gives her a calm feeling ?

like I said, if the Nazi Screwed her sympathizing ancestors, after the fact, they weren't alone, and her beef is a ludicrous "Feeling" if she thinks Palestinian Arabs helped Jews. Hell, today, Palestinians aren't wanted by anyone, even other Arabs. How much help those other Arab countries are for Palestinians huh ?

Cheney blatantly mis-stated Talib's comment. In whose eyes ?

In the eyes of people who understand that you are not supposed to take someone else's words and rearrange the sentence structure.

We're done.

I don't think she is talking about the West Bank, or the aftermath of the 1948 war. She is talking about the original partition plan which displaced some Palestinians. 

Why not comment on the point of the seed? 

I thought I had, but okay.

Do I find her remark anti Semitic, no just thoughtless and ill timed.

Perhaps we would be better served if all of our Representatives concentrated on our troubles of which we have our own fair share.

After a thousand years or so we should have figured out by now that the only thing that will cure the Middle East, is the Middle East. 

I have to agree with you, luther. I didn't find the comment anti-Semitic but rather a misrepresentation of history, which is not a shock, since this what the BDS movement does. 

And I agree that we should be talking about our troubles of which we have our own fair share.

But it does seem that some of our new reps that came to office came with their own agendas and not necessarily what their constituents wanted.
