even Jordan, to the point that whole populations have been severely declining and many are approaching extinction in their countries. This is going on DAILY.

We're talking targeted murders and "ethnic cleansings," official genocides, imprisonments and "disappearings," displacements off their land by the hundreds of thousands, theft of water rights, torture, rape, etc, etc. This is happening in ALL nations except Israel against a long list of minority groups, but most numerously against ME Christians, who used to be far more numerous (Jesus was Palestinian, Jews were there at least 1000 years before Christ, and Christian Palestinians were there 600 years before Islam was founded). The many giant camps for displaced persons are filled with people originally from Muslim nations, not Israel.

And where are Tlaib and her sort on these horrific atrocities occurring every day? Their admirers should be able to answer. At least Tlaib is Muslim Palestinian in background, unlike others who ignore them to focus on the Jewish state.

What comes next is NOT an endorsement of the policies of Israel's RW-dominated government regarding the occupied territories and the Muslim Palestinians who reside there.

BUT, the Palestinian populations have been growing all along in the Israeli-occupied territories, even exploding. There are now over 5 million there, plus another couple million who've moved elsewhere. (There are no refugee camps for Palestinians displaced by Israel because the last big displacement was in 1948 during the war when surrounding Muslim nations tried to wipe the Jews.)

The minorities who are going to die would kiss the ground if they could somehow make it to the relative safety of the occupied territories.

Yet Jewish Israel is where Tlaib and her sort focus their condemnation. When's the last time YOU heard condemnation of any of the surrounding governments for causing and/or enabling/deliberately ignoring the suffering, desperation, death of their peoples -- by the tens and hundreds of thousands? Millions.

Go a head and pick a ME/North African nation and check it for ongoing crimes against humanity. This is real.
