President Donald Trump berated freshman Representative Rashida Tlaib for her 'tremendous hatred' of Jews and Israel, claiming her statements regarding the Holocaust were 'insensitive.'
Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American woman to be elected to Congress, said her people lost their land and lives when they tried to 'create a safe haven for Jews' after the Holocaust.
The president also pointed out a double standard in treatment between the parties, and said he would be treated much worse if he were to make similar comments as Tlaib.
"Democrat Rep. Tlaib is being slammed for her horrible and highly insensitive statement on the Holocaust. She obviously has tremendous hatred of Israel and the Jewish people," Trump posted to Twitter Monday morning. "Can you imagine what would happen if I ever said what she said, and says?"
EDITOR’S NOTE: In fact, Mohammed Amin al-Husseini, The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and leader of the Palestinian Arabs, was a stalwart opponent of Zionism who served Hitler as a propagandist during the Holocaust. He also personally asked Hitler to support his opposition to establishing a Jewish national home in Palestine.

That is partially true. The Arabs initially supported the Jewish migration to Palestine but later were against it when it became clear that the Zionists actually wanted to create a state. Up until that point, Arabs and Jews had lived peacefully in the Holy Land, and even watched each others children and celebrated each others holidays. However, for obvious reasons, the Arabs had no desire to live in a Zionist State, and even religious heredi Jews opposed it.
The most observant of the tribe, the Satmar hasidim, still to this day burn the Israeli flag in Williamsburg Brooklyn on Purim.
The great Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum, of blessed memory, wrote what is considered his magnum opus, Vayoel Moshe, on the evils of Zionism and its fundamental incompatibility with Judaism.
Thank you, Mr. Cohen, for your very informative comment.
