Just when we think that Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) couldn't get any more anti-Semitic, she proves us wrong. Her latest remark is rather cringeworthy too. During an interview with Yahoo News' podcast "Skullduggery," she explained her take on the Holocaust.
"There’s always kind of a calming feeling, I tell folks, when I think of the Holocaust, and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors — Palestinians — who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence in many ways, have been wiped out, and some people's passports," Tlaib said.
"And, just all of it was in the name of trying to create a safe haven for Jews, post-the Holocaust, post-the tragedy and the horrific persecution of Jews across the world at that time. And, I love the fact that it was my ancestors that provided that, right, in many ways, but they did it in a way that took their human dignity away and it was forced on them."

There are two sides to every conflict. Every side has a point of view if you are willing to listen:

You are correct.. there were two sides to the Holocaust.
I don't really need the other side's viewpoint.
Are you honestly sympathizing with the Nazis?
Just... wow.

BTW, their hatred towards Jewish people is what they are brought up to believe.

It sounded like Tlaib gave pretty good reason why the Palestinians might be unhappy with Israeli government policies after WWII. I don't think they were mad because the people were good loving Jews. I think they were unhappy because their lands were occupied by a hostile force that refuses to give them any human rights or treat them as equals.
It just goes to show you the after WWII the Israeli's have become what they hated with their government policies.

Yup, jews always were the real nazis. In fact, speaking of revisionist history, i've seen some very "valid" reasoning floating around lately that they were actually the INSTIGATORS in germany and that the nazi's were just defending themselves.
No #, some people actually try to shop that around and sell it to fools.

Wrong. First of all, the Jewish people PAID for Israel, even though those lands had belonged to Jewish people before the exodus of Muslims into what is known as Palestine. But Palestine has never really existed as a country, and because the Muslim authority in Palestine didn't want to recognize Israel, it was never given agency as a country. All they had to do was to accept the existence of Israel, and to allow the Jewish people to live there, and Palestine would have become a country, and would have been recognized as one.
Israel began taking lands, which should have belonged to them in the first place, when the Muslim authorities allowed radicals to attack Israel from those lands. Even when Israel agreed to give back Gaza, once again the terrorist attacks from Gaza to Israel began.

I thought we were talking about a person who thinks that the murder of millions of people that had another political or religious viewpoint is... calming.
So when you think about the Holocaust, does it have a calming effect on you?

Fact or fiction: Jews stole Palestinian land before 1948
From the beginning of World War 1 Arabs were claiming Jews stole Palestinian land and displaced them. However, the majority of the land in this region was owned by the Ottoman Empire (subsequently the British) and absentee landlords who lived in Cairo, Damascus and Beirut. During this period 80 percent of the Palestinian Arabs were impoverished peasants, semi-nomads and Bedouins… not wealthy landowners.1
The region was severely underpopulated which meant the Jews were able to avoid buying land in areas where Arabs might be displaced, which they did. They sought land that was largely uncultivated, swampy, sandy, and most importantly, without tenants. In 1920, David Ben-Gurion expressed his concern about the Arab fellaheen (peasants), whom he viewed as “the most important asset of the native population” he said “under no circumstances must we touch land belonging to fellahs or worked by them”. He advocated helping liberate them from their oppressors. “Only if a fellah leaves his place of settlement,” Ben-Gurion added, “should we offer to buy his land, at an appropriate price.” 2
The Jews overpaid for land they purchase
When British MP John Hope Simpson arrived in Palestine in May 1930 to report on Arab-Jewish violence and discovered the Jews were purchasing land at exorbitant rates: “They [Jews] paid high prices for the land, and in addition they paid to certain of the occupants of those lands a considerable amount of money which they were not legally bound to pay.” 3
