'The majority of Americans are not with you' claim used by Rashida Tlaib is false

In her usual angry and defiant tone, Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib’s video on X, addressed to U.S. President Joe Biden stated, “The majority of American people are not with you on this one,” referring to his support of Israel in defending itself against the brutal Hamas attack which led to the present war between them.  

By her statement, Tlaib presumptuously, and with contempt, appoints herself as spokesperson for the 332 million American citizens, as she confidently but shamefully assumes a position she believes they hold. But they do not, and if that was ever in doubt, the “March for Israel,” which took place in Washington, D.C. on Nov. 14 crushes her fallacious claim.

Nearly 300,000 people rallied…calling for the release of the hostages held by terrorists in Gaza and invoking the Holocaust while condemning Hamas’s October 7 onslaught with a cry of ‘Never Again.’”

The massive sea of people, which stretched for miles across the National Mall, is believed to be the largest pro-Israel gathering to have ever taken place in the history of the country. Israel’s President Isaac Herzog addressed the rally by video satellite link from the Western Wall in Jerusalem, reaffirming the value: “To march for the right of every Jew to live proudly and safely in America, in Israel and around the world.” He went on to say, “Above all, we come together to march for good over evil, for human morality over blood thirst. We march for light over darkness.”

These impressive images served as a true gauge for the likes of Tlaib, and her ilk, who would have everyone believe that the majority of Americans support savage and barbaric terrorists, for whom life matters nothing. Her fabricated numbers belie what we all saw right before our eyes – the decency and morality of the American people who came together, from all over the country, to make their presence felt at a time when the stark polar opposites of good and evil have never been clearer.  

For them, it was important to send a message that there can be no wavering in the support of America’s greatest ally, one which has earned their trust, because the enemy they are seeking to eradicate is not only that of the Jewish state, but also one which threatens to destroy all others who do not subscribe to their demonic ideology of radical Islam – pretty much encompassing most of the world. 

If anything, Tlaib, along with the rest of the Squad, got a much-needed reminder that America was built upon the fundamental and enduring principles of justice, decency, morality and respect for one’s fellow man – ideals which have not gone out of vogue but that remain their cornerstone.  

The message sent by the American people was that Israel has a moral obligation to go after those whose goal is the demise of the Jewish state. 'From the river to the sea' is clearly understood by America’s citizens to be a battle call for the annihilation of the Jewish people, not only in their ancestral homeland, but also throughout the world as antisemitism more and more becomes a vocal cry for Jewish cleansing – no different from the days of the Holocaust.

While there have been large pro-Palestinian gatherings on campuses, throughout the U.S., they were all dwarfed by the “March for Israel” which encompassed a broad spectrum of the American population – everyone from Jewish organizations and individuals to Evangelical Christians and other non-Jews, who simply felt the urgency to express their heartfelt support for a nation and a people they, too, admire and fully back.

But if that weren’t enough, “a new HarrisX poll commissioned by the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations (CoP) found that 67% of Americans believe Israel should continue its military efforts until Hamas is defeated and the hostages released. The survey also found that more than eight in 10 Americans believe that Israel has a responsibility to protect its citizens and strike back when necessary.”

Those numbers prove, beyond a shadow of doubt, that Rashida Tlaib is nothing more than a liar who, for the sake of shoring up her performance activism, has invented non-existent supporters who believe that terrorism should not be subverted and that the backing of Israel, at a time when their very existence is being threatened, is both wrong and immoral. She, herself, resorts to using the threat of remembering this Israeli support when elections come around in 2024.

While the congresswoman was born in Michigan and grew up under all of the many blessings of America, which values and honors all faiths and ethnicities, it is clear that Tlaib did not internalize those precious and deeply regarded standards which set it apart from other societies whose emphasis is not necessarily upon the freedoms and liberties, without which, America would not be the great beacon it has always been.

Sadly, the country is losing its bright light, which is being extinguished by the likes of Rashida Tlaib as she advocates for murderous terrorists who believe that their holy mission is to burn people alive, chop off their heads, savagely rape and sever a woman’s fetus from her body.  

Americans who attended the D.C. Israel rally stood as a solid and immovable force which rejects Tlaib’s barbaric views on justice by calling darkness, light!  To think that this woman serves in the halls of Congress is already a testament to the type of evil powers that are determined to bring down the USA and send it into obscurity for lack of virtue and moral integrity.

As an ex-pat American Israeli, it was gratifying and heartwarming to see so many Americans stop what they were doing in order to make the journey to the capital and send a strong reminder that there are those who still walk in righteousness and remember what is good, virtuous and true.

It is those same individuals, along with many others, who will need to make their voices heard in these very dark days, because if they don’t, the Rashida Tlaibs of the nation will continue to lie and invent reasons why terrorists should be hailed as the new freedom fighters.

America, the beautiful can only stay that way when her light shines forth and the darkness is banished, because goodness can only be seen when it is not overwhelmed by evil!
