The only three Muslim members of the House released a joint statement Tuesday calling on leaders on both sides to condemn 'anti-Palestinian hate.'
Three progressive House Democrats are calling on congressional leaders in both parties to condemn 'anti-Muslim' and 'anti-Palestinian hate' they said is growing more pervasive in U.S. politics. Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and André Carson, D-Ind., the only three Muslim lawmakers in the House, also singled out a new bill introduced by Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., aimed at expelling Palestinians from the U.S.
We call on the leadership of both parties to vocally and specifically condemn these comments and legislation, to make clear that anti-Muslim and anti-Arab hate has no place in our politics, and to name it when it happens.' Zinke responded to their statement, 'It’s unconscionable that Members of the United States Congress would care more about Palestinian terrorists than the safety of Americans.
It is fundamentally a call for a Palestinian state extending from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, territory that includes the State of Israel, which would mean the dismantling of the Jewish state,' the Anti-Defamation League’s website says. 'It is an antisemitic charge denying the Jewish right to self-determination, including through the removal of Jews from their ancestral homeland.' Twenty-two Democrats voted with 212 Republicans to censure Tlaib. It passed 234 to 188.
