One of the dumber Sunday shows…

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) defended her support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS), which is a Palestinian-led campaign promoting boycott against Israel.

Tlaib who is Muslim and not Jewish said, “It is criticizing the racist policies of Israel, and it is a boycott.”

She continued, “If there was an economic boycott around Saudi Arabia, I would be the first for it. They are all around college campuses. There are Jews and Muslims and backgrounds pushing back against racist policies in Israel because they see that the human rights violations of children being detained, the fact that my grandmother who lives in the west bank doesn’t have equality or freedom of travel. Someone right now under occupation is feeling less than. And I grew up in the most blackest beautiful city in the country where every corner in Detroit here you will see a reminiscence of the civil rights and labor rights movement, and we did it through economic boycott. It is a form of freedom of speech. But people want to dismiss it because they’re trying to say it is anti-Semitism. We know under Netanyahu’s regime human rights violations have gotten worse.”

First, West Bank is a proper noun that refers to a specific thing so it should be capitalized.

Second, Talib’s anti-semitism should be condemned out of hand.

Third, Detroit has never ever been officially designated as a black city. A dangerous place, yes. It is very, very poor and needs and gets massive financial help from non-black people who are assessed and pay heavy taxes to support what Talib is unable to support on her own. If anyplace in Israel was as poor as Talib’s Detroit the citizens of Israel would do what Talib should do in Detroit,.. work to fix it and make it prosperous once again. Talib attacks Trump to divert attention from her massive failures in Detroit. Her support of BDS is immoral. It is part of jihad against Israel and against the West which especially includes jihad against America. She must be stopped.
