Twitchy, first noted the tweet and follow up, Well, we can’t say we’re shocked by this tweet from Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI):
Commenting on a post by Yousef Munayyer, Tlaib wrote, “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”

Tlaib’s tweet insinuated that Israel was asking for it and deserved that attacks. Conservative Commentator Kurt Schlichter called Tlaib out by noting she provided “excuses for the murder of Jews.”

Jeryl Bier noted Tlaib’s justification of terrorism, “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.”

Noah Pollack has little doubt she fully believes this, saying “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.
