PHOTO: Muslim Congresswoman Claims Gaza For Palestine On Office Map
A newly sworn-in Muslim U.S. Representative from Michigan has re-labeled Israel as “Palestine” on her office map, according to photo obtained by Hannah Allam, a BuzzFeed reporter.
“Someone has already made a slight alteration to the map that hangs in Rashida Tlaib’s new congressional office,” Allam wrote.

Tlaib, a Democrat, is the child of Palestinian immigrants, and draped herself in a Palestinian flag when she was officially elected to Congress. Since then, she has Tweeted support for former CNN contributor Marc Lamont Hill, who was fired after calling for the destruction of Israel. She was also accused of assaulting Jewish journalist and Big League Politics contributor Laura Loomer at a campaign event.
She was sworn into office Thursday using Thomas Jefferson’s Quran.
Palestine’s recognition as a nation state is in limbo.
But Palestinians are constantly in a state of war with Israel, consistently terrorizing the people of Israel by firing mortar rounds into Israeli territory.
Their official goals for 2019 were posted by Gateway Institute.
- “The Palestinian revolution has been continuing for 54 years. The revolution will continue until the aspirations of our people are fulfilled…. We have clearly stated that all forms of resistance are legitimate.” — Mahmoud Aloul, deputy chairman of Fatah; seen by many as the successor to Mahmoud Abbas
- Palestinian leaders are not offering their people a better life, prosperity, security and stability. Instead, the leaders are urging Palestinians to continue hating Israel and the US. They are urging Arab countries not to make peace with Israel: they consider normalization with Israel an act of treason.
- A cartoon published on Fatah’s official Facebook this week depicts “Palestine” as a single entity, the exact shape of Israel.
- These messages demonstrate, with no room for doubt, that any talk about resuming a peace process between Israel and the Palestinians is one thing only: a colossal fraud. Palestinian leaders will never return to the negotiating table when they are pushing their people, day after day, to ensure that more Israeli blood runs in the street. The Palestinians make it clear that their true intention is to carry a rifle and see Israel removed from the map.
The Trump administration – and administrations past – have pledged their support to Israel as a Middle Eastern ally. It appears that at least one new member of Congress wants to break from that tradition.

Democrat Congressmen Introduce Term Limits Legislation for SCOTUS Justices As Trump Prepares Nominee
Interesting timing.
Three Democrat members of Congress are introducing legislation to institute term limits for Supreme Court justices, as President Trump prepares to nominate his third candidate for the court following the death of progressive liberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Democrats Joe Kennedy, Ro Khanna, and Don Beyer are proposing legislation that would limit SCOTUS justice to a maximum term of eighteen years on the court.
Lifetime appointments to the highest court in our land undermine our democratic process and erode progress in our nation.
We must enact 18 year term limits on our Supreme Court justices to continue our march towards a more perfect union. https://t.co/9fCyggP686

Khanna has proposed an idea that would allow Presidents to appoint two judges in each term. “Senior” members of the court would be required to basically retired for every new member of the court.
When I first ran for Congress in 2014, I proposed limiting terms of Supreme Court Justice to 18-appointments.
Given the recent, dramatic politicization of the Court, it's time for real reform.
Here's how the bill @RoKhanna @RepJoeKennedy and I are introducing would work: https://t.co/qoVgXPKGV3

It’s pretty funny the Democrats are uniting behind these proposals the moment they appear primed to lose control of the Supreme Court for a generation. They weren’t complaining when Obama was trying to replace Antonin Scalia with progressive Merrick Garland, even going so far as claiming that the stealth liberal was entitled to the seat. Reports emerging Friday suggest that President Donald Trump intends to nominate Amy Coney Barrett, a mostly conservative judge with a pro-life and immigration hawk judicial record.
The judicial branch of government is arguably the most flawed element of American governance, and it’s highly questionable how institutions such as the Supreme Court are able to appoint themselves a nearly unlimited amount of political power.
A better reform proposals would be to institute term limits for justices that only go into effect after the current members of the court vacate their seats. Anything else is simply a political power grab.
