Eight minutes with the president: Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the lone Palestinian American in Congress, gains relevance in Israel debate
May 22 - When Rep. Rashida Tlaib delivered a fiery condemnation last week on the House floor of what she called Israel’s “apartheid” and “racist” policies, she invoked arguments that have long made her a pariah among some Israel advocates, led Republicans to call her anti-Semitic and alienated some of her Democratic colleagues.
So it was a remarkable moment this week, just five days later, when the lone Palestinian American member of Congress stood face to face with the president of the United States on an airport tarmac and, for eight minutes, engaged in an animated conversation about the U.S. response to the latest outbreak of violence between Israel and Palestinians. Equally notable was the decision by President Biden later that day to praise Tlaib during an appearance in her hometown of Detroit.
“I admire your intellect, I admire your passion, and I admire your concern for so many other people,” Biden said Tuesday. “And God, thank you for being a fighter”... more
In 2018, Tlaib won the Democratic nomination for the United States House of Representatives seat from Michigan's 13th congressional district. She ran unopposed in the general election and became the first woman of Palestinian descent in Congress, the first Muslim woman to serve in the Michigan legislature, and one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress, along with Ilhan Omar (D-MN).[4][5][6] Tlaib is a member of The Squad, an informal group of six (four until the 2020 elections) U.S. Representatives on the left wing of the Democratic Party.[7]
Tlaib is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). She and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) are the first female DSA members to serve in Congress.[8][9] Tlaib has argued in favor of abolishing the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the police. She was a vocal critic of the Trump administration and advocated Trump's impeachment. On foreign affairs, she has sharply criticized the Israeli government, called for an end to U.S. aid to Israel, supports a one-state solution, and expressed support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign. quote from Wikipedia
Cracks open in Democratic support for Israel as old guard is challenged
The bloody bombing of Gaza has put Joe Biden at odds with progressive leaders in a generational and political divide
May 22 - With a giant Stars and Stripes and two gleaming cars at his back, Joe Biden turned to focus his remarks on one member of the audience. “From my heart, I pray that your grandmom and family are well,” he told Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in Congress. “I promise you, I’m going to do everything to see that they are, on the West Bank. You’re a fighter.”
It was a characteristic peace offering by the US president, even as protesters rallied outside the Ford plant in Dearborn, Michigan, and Tlaib herself challenged Biden over his unyielding support for Israel. But Tuesday’s gesture, and even a Middle East ceasefire declared on Thursday, may not be enough to heal a growing rift in the Democratic party... more
May 22, MOSCOW, (BM) – Russia has tested the Perevest secret laser weapon in Syria and hundreds of other new weapons, according to an interview with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu.
Minister Shoigu said that many new weapons have never seen the next stage of their development – their serial production. “Where else can you test weapons – in war. As much as we don’t want to, but state tests, military tests, army tests are, of course, good,” Shoygu said.
Minister Shoygu revealed that over the years, more than 70 specialists, engineers, and designers from Russian arms companies have been present at the Russian airbase in Syria – Khmeimim to conduct the tests and assist in the timely elimination of problems. He confirmed that a large production workshop has also been set up, which eliminates discrepancies.
“What did Syria give us? I will tell you frankly that we encountered a huge number of unpleasant surprises. Dozens of new weapons and prototypes were simply removed and stopped production,” the minister said.
Laser weapon Peresvet
Russia’s Peresvet laser complex has successfully passed all state and combat tests in Syria, Shoygu said. The minister stressed that Peresvet is already in service with the Russian army and continues developing and renewing, as Moscow continues to use it in Syria... more
