RESOLUTION
Censuring Representative Rashida Tlaib for promoting and cheering on
terrorism and antisemitism at the People's Conference for Palestine.
Whereas Representative Rashida Tlaib cheered on one of the most radical and
antisemitic conferences in America--the People's Conference for
Palestine;
Whereas, at the People's Conference for Palestine, Aisha Nizar, a leader with
the Palestinian Youth Movement, urged the audience to undermine and
sabotage the United States military and defense readiness by disrupting
the F-35 supply chain logistics;
Whereas Aisha Nizar stated, ``70% of the cost of the F-35 program actually comes
from the supply chain. . . It functions off of this just-in-time
logistics process. . . If one specific node of the F-35 supply chain is
intervened in, it has a huge impact. . . We need to be surgical. We need
to be strategic. And we need to be bold in our actions. Because there
are many different points of these supply chains of death that we can
intervene in--and we must intervene in'';
Whereas the People's Conference for Palestine laid out a militant strategy to
not only attack weapons manufacturers but also target logistics
companies to undermine the United States military supply chains;
Whereas openly calling for attacks on the United States military constitutes
terrorism and a radical ideology that must be condemned;
Whereas, at the People's Conference for Palestine, Hani Al-Masri characterized
the October 7th Hamas terrorist attacks not as terrorism, but as a
``natural reaction'' and part of a long historical arc;
Whereas Hani Al-Masri stated, ``In this context, October 7 came to complete what
they had not accomplished in 1948 and 1967. . . it was a natural
reaction to protect the people and the cause'';
Whereas Hani Al-Masri further stated, ``October 7 reminded me of the Paris
Commune, the revolution that erupted and was the beginning of the
European revolution and the change of Europe and the world. It is true
that the Commune did not succeed, but it was the beginning of change in
the whole world'';
Whereas, at the People's Conference for Palestine, speaker Nidal Jboor called
for the assassination of politicians in the United States, Israel, and
Europe who oppose a Palestinian state;
Whereas Nidal Jboor stated, ``We know who they are--whether in Israel, Tel Aviv,
Washington, or Europe. They must be locked up, taken out, neutralized to
save children and humanity'';
Whereas Omar Assaf, a terrorist affiliated with the Democratic Front for the
Liberation of Palestine, was given a platform to speak at the People's
Conference for Palestine;
Whereas the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine is designated as a
terrorist organization by some countries and has a decades-long record
of violence--including alleged participation in the October 7 attacks;
Whereas, at the People's Conference for Palestine, a panel purportedly focused
on health care highlighted Abu Nidal, who led the Abu Nidal Organization
(ANO), a splinter group from Fatah and one of the most violent
Palestinian terrorist outfits in history;
Whereas Thaer Ahmed stated, ``All of our names have really profound meanings and
a deep connection to Palestine. . . look up what Nidal means later'';
Whereas Abu Nidal ordered attacks in 20 countries, was responsible for over 300
deaths and 650 injuries, and orchestrated the 1985 Rome and Vienna
airport massacres, during which gunmen opened fire at El Al ticket
counters, killing 20 people;
Whereas, at the People's Conference for Palestine, Sachin Peddada--Research
Coordinator at the Progressive International and a Ph.D. student in
Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst--called the United
States ``evil'' and urged attendees to ``destroy the idea of America'';
Whereas Sachin Peddada stated, ``. . .the thing to do is to destroy the idea of
America in Americans' heads so that they can see the humanity of
everybody outside the warping of American exceptionalism and
imperialism'';
Whereas, at the People's Conference for Palestine, Omar Suleiman--founder of the
Yaqeen Institute, imam at Valley Ranch Islamic Center, and adjunct
professor at Southern Methodist University--praised the Holy Land
Foundation Five, men convicted in the U.S. of funneling millions of
dollars to Hamas under the cover of charity;
Whereas the Holy Land Foundation trial was the largest terrorism financing case
in United States history, with evidence showing that money was knowingly
routed to Hamas;
Whereas, at the People's Conference for Palestine, Houston-based PYM organizer
Mohammed Nabulsi called for targeting embassies;
Whereas Mohammed Nabulsi stated, ``It's empowering when we channel our campaigns
into tangible, strategic targets that have to respond to us. . . An
Egyptian gentleman in The Hague went up to the Egyptian embassy and
wrapped a little lock around the gates--and it exposed the complicity of
the Egyptian state. Did you see how the Egyptian state responded? Did
you see how it inspired everyone else to act?'';
Whereas, at the People's Conference for Palestine, Dalal Al-Mughrabi--a
terrorist who hijacked a bus and killed 38 civilians, 13 of them
children--was labeled a ``hero'';
Whereas Representative Rashida Tlaib attacked both Republicans and Democrats for
supporting America's ally, Israel, labeling them ``sellouts'' and
calling for unrest and violence in our streets;
Whereas Representative Rashida Tlaib stated, ``Change doesn't come from the
cowards and warmongers in Congress. It comes from the streets. It comes
from all of us mobilizing and seizing the power to resist and fight
back'';
Whereas Representative Rashida Tlaib is vilifying fellow politicians--blasting
supposed allies as ``sellouts,'' framing any support for Israel as soul-
corrupting, and urging the crowd to stay militantly loyal to the most
uncompromising line;
Whereas Representative Rashida Tlaib has a history of promoting false,
antisemitic narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on
Israel and has called for the destruction of the State of Israel;
Whereas, on November 3, 2023, Representative Rashida Tlaib published on social
media a video containing the phrase ``from the river to the sea'', which
is widely recognized as a genocidal call to violence to destroy the
State of Israel and its people;
Whereas supporters of terrorism have no place in the United States Congress;
Whereas Representative Rashida Tlaib has repeatedly displayed conduct entirely
unbecoming of a Member of the House of Representatives by calling for
the destruction of the State of Israel and by dangerously promoting
terrorism and extremism while Israeli and American hostages remain in
terrorist captivity: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That Representative Rashida Tlaib be censured.
