BDS Enters the House

Rashida Tlaib's Hate Bill: 22 Dems Push Sanctions And Arms Embargo on Israel in Latest Resolution

Rashida Tlaib's first-ever congressional push for sanctions and arms bans on Israel reeks of antisemitic payback, ignoring Hamas's atrocities while dooming Palestinian hope.

In a brazen escalation of her relentless campaign against the Jewish state, far-left Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, long infamous for her unapologetic embrace of antisemitic tropes and Hamas terrorist sympathizers, has spearheaded an unprecedented bill in the U.S. House of Representatives calling for sweeping sanctions, investigations, and a full arms embargo on Israel, the very democracy fighting for its survival against genocidal jihadists.

Introduced on November 14, 2025, as H.Res.876, the resolution accuses Israel of committing "genocide" in Gaza, a vile blood libel that ignores Hamas's barbaric October 7, 2023, massacre of 1,200 innocent Jews, the kidnapping and torture of 251 hostages, and the terrorists' use of Palestinian civilians as human shields while diverting aid to build rockets and tunnels. Co-sponsored by 21 fellow Democrats, including Squad staples like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Pramila Jayapal, and Cori Bush, the measure demands the U.S. halt all weapons transfers, prosecute American companies aiding Israel's defense, comply with the International Court of Justice's biased rulings, lift sanctions on the antisemitic International Criminal Court, and impose "targeted, lawful sanctions" on Israel itself, all while funneling funds to the corrupt UNRWA, whose employees participated in the October 7 atrocities.

Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American in Congress and a BDS zealot who was censured by the House in November 2023 for promoting "false narratives" about the Hamas attack and chanting "from the river to the sea", a genocidal call to erase Israel, celebrated the bill as a step toward "accountability" for what she falsely labels Israel's "genocidal campaign." "We must hold individual perpetrators and complicit corporations to account. We must stop sending weapons to a genocidal military. We must follow international law and use all means available to us, including sanctions, to bring this genocide to an end," she declared, parroting the same propaganda that excuses Hamas's execution of hostages like Hadar Goldin, whose remains were only returned after 11 years of terrorist desecration. This isn't statesmanship; it's a shameful betrayal of America's alliance with its closest Middle East partner, a nation that has shared life-saving intelligence and technology while defending itself from Iranian-backed proxies lobbing 26,000+ missiles since the war began.

The BDS movement, which Tlaib has championed since her 2018 election, despite its roots in denying Jewish self-determination and glorifying terrorism, hailed the resolution as a "historic" breakthrough, claiming it legitimizes sanctions in U.S. discourse. Yet experts dismiss its passage odds as negligible, given overwhelming bipartisan support for Israel: the House has repeatedly blocked Tlaib's anti-Israel amendments, like those in April 2025 to a university funding bill exposing foreign influence on campuses fueling antisemitism. AIPAC and groups like the Orthodox Union have long countered her extremism, with a 2025 censure resolution (H.Res.674) blasting Tlaib for "promoting and cheering on terrorism and antisemitism" at pro-Palestine conferences. Her obsession blinds her to Palestinian suffering under Hamas: the terrorists who starved Gaza, executed rivals, and used hospitals as command posts, all while Tlaib ignores 450 Hamas-linked operatives in Canada funding such horrors.

Israel's Ad Kan organization demanded Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar and Interior Minister Moshe Arbel bar Tlaib and her co-sponsors from entry, vowing to monitor their "antisemitic incitement." This bill isn't about justice, it's Tlaib's embarrassing fixation on sabotaging Israel's right to defend its people from rocket barrages and suicide bombers, diverting focus from domestic woes like California's wildfires or Michigan's crumbling roads. As Trump pushes his 20-point Gaza plan for demilitarization and stability, Tlaib's stunt rewards Hamas holdouts refusing surrender in Rafah tunnels. For American Jews facing a 400% hate crime spike and Israelis burying 700 soldiers, it's a reminder: allies like the U.S. must stand firm against those who empower terrorists over truth.
