[@CindyE589]

She needs to be removed from Congress and the Country!! Anyone that supports terrorist shouldn’t be in Our Government. This is ridiculous!!

[@donaldleider7382]

It did come from a member of Hamas!

[@pascalouellette8516]

Inciting violence is criminal whether your in congress or not...where is the FBI and DOJ

[@laurieboss1897]

I think anyone who sides with terrorist attackers needs to be on the first plane out of the United States and should not be allowed to serve in our government.

[@JohnQPublic11]

They did come from a member of Hamas.

[@musicteacher5757]

👍

[@ehaaron]

Rashida Talib and the "sqaud" is a plant by the Islamic State. Their ties to the Islamic Caliphate need to be investigated.

[@Eleanor-l2h]

How is it possible people who hate Americans can be in Congress??? Squad get out of my Congress now deportation

[@cathyorange]

Make a law now! No protests at this time in North Carolina! Make this law like France has done.

[@jasonlou2013S]

No cease fire! No cease fire!

[@sandrakaren6834]

Dah those tunnels are all over the United States coast to coast. Same thing probably will happen here.

[@loopba]

Arrest Tlaib for treason

[@__Rob]

"You would think they came from Hamas". Not quite, but sadly I knew they were spoken by a Palestinian. It seems few others here care this deeply about innocent lives if those lives are Palestinian. There goes the whole "Republicans are the free speech party!" Twilight Zone episode we've been watching these last few years.

[@rosemarieroth1984]

Thank you, Senator Tillis. I'll be voting for you for President one day, I hope. Talib's actions cannot be tolerated...

[@BroccoliChickenAndRice]

why no comments?

[@nonakotler3634]

What Should Israel Do Next in Light of Their Declaration of War? First, we should reflect deeply upon the painful divide that has festered among us, causing the devastating toll of hundreds of lives lost and thousands wounded. We need to yearn for a major change and wholeheartedly unite as one. Only the bonds of unity can shield us from future tragedy and elevate our nation from the abyss of despair. We cannot afford to nurse bitterness or delay action, waiting for the war's end to ponder our fractured state. Now is the time for introspection. We need to pinpoint the reasons behind our present circumstances and act accordingly. Our quest for understanding needs to extend to our lives’ very source: the upper force of love, bestowal and connection that acts on us beyond our current level of awareness, which perceives through an egoistic and divisive lens. It is no matter of religion, but a realization that reality’s governing force is singular, and we accordingly need to stand united before it as one. Precisely in our trying times, we are in need for an expansion of consciousness to let the upper force of love and bestowal into our lives. We need to raise the pain and anguish that erupts in so many people in such times to the upper force, and wish for it to mend our torn relations, and draw us closer together. We must seek to hold each other close to our hearts, not solely in times of war, but as an enduring duty. We are a nation established not on a biological foundation, but on a spiritual-ideological one: "Love your neighbor as yourself." That is, we were people from all around ancient Babylon who felt a problem with living our lives solely according to competitive-materialistic ideals and sought for a higher truth to our existence, which we revealed as a higher force of love, bestowal and connection that united us above our divisive drives. That is why we cannot remain divided without suffering from our separation. Our mission to unite above our divisions is constant, because divisive egoistic desires constantly surface within us, driving us apart. Therefore, much like a diligent student who finds new homework awaiting them each day, we should not accumulate any more overdue assignments that end up exploding in our faces, pressuring us into critical situations such as the one we now find before us. Instead, we should hurry up and correct our hearts to favor unity “as one man with one heart” above our divisions.

[@foylebutler8952]

Nice thoughts but it will never happen. Majority rules. Over %80 of US citizens side with Israel. 9/11. let us know there will never be peace with Islamic terrorists. This recent attack and the protesters in the streets and in the media let us know a large number of Muslims side with the terrorists. The line has been drawn. We didn't ask for war, but its here. The time for talk is over.

[@ozzie3963]

The world protested because a congressman posted something?🥳

[@bobmitchell2123]

Evil needs heroes too.

[@scottmitchell3641]

Barack Saddam Hussein Osama

[@chesterkendra5224]

As far as accountability goes, doesn't Israel need to be accountable for it's atrocities as well when they were taking land from the existing inhabitants to create the state of Israel?

[@mc1993]

Do you me retaking the land?

[@chesterkendra5224]

Either way, what the Zionists did was horrendous !@@mc1993

[@CCRider-if7mw]

Read the history of Israel.

[@rosemarieroth1984]

That was so long ago, that few of living even know of it...

[@brandontuck2725]

"It" is a member of Hamas.

[@gilraybaker826]

Don't roast her, expel her.

[@anna-tn8mg]

*"I am proud of you, Rashida," Barack Hussein Obama to his former staff member."*

Rashida Talib and the "sqaud" is a plant by the Islamic State. Their ties to the Islamic Caliphate need to be investigated.

[@ehaaron]

The Squad needs to be deported. Literal terrorist working in the government

[@The_DC_Kid]

I just now did a search for "how many Jewish democrats in the USA" and found the number is 64%. I have a strong feeling MANY will vote differently in the next election.

[@bobmitchell2123]

I hope you're right, but I seriously doubt it. When you're heavily invested in the democratic party, you tend to vote on autopilot.

[@sarahk93882]

As a democrat Jew this is going to be a tough election. I don’t want either of them for many reasons

[@fartman816]

If only Thom could get so fired up about the southern border in our own country...

[@JoelJ777]

He is fired up about the border too. We can do two things at the same time.

[@sirkronix5274]

The squad needs to go their useless

[@cathyorange]

Amazing how all the signs and posters were made and printed as soon as Hamas attacked the music festival. People knew the date! Americans here knew the date.

[@anemjoful]

❤❤

[@Eleanor-l2h]

I think the same

[@fyre2377]

Amazing how not too long before the attacks, there was major israeli protests against netanyahu for becoming more tyrannical. But then came a major terror attack that helped unite everyone

[@RosemaryLeonetti]

Which is not true it was a bad bomb from Hamas

[@Lacey_Face]

It wasnt a hospital either, it was the parking lot. Ppl running off at the mouth without an investigation first like Lying Talib and her insurrection 10/18/23 just stirs the pot and accomplishes nothing.

[@dsamh]

Expel her from congress immediately. She's spreading lies and hatered.

[@shineyourlight1555]

She needs to be deported.. get her out of congress!!!

[@ehaaron]

Get the "squad'' out of America

[@tonytonitoney85]

I bet she spoke out about all of the innocent people in Israel that were killed by terrorists too. Or did she?

[@francih923]

Of course not ..

[@fyre2377]

Most of them were IDF

[@waynephillips2777]

Expel her now!

[@nosknut]

Why have they not kicked her out yet ...

[@kylepopell3585]

Well, we can talk about about win all those congressional leaders and members of Congress going to start being held accountable

[@PhyllisJohnson-lr9bq]

Thank you Senator Tillis. Well said. ✝️🇺🇸🇮🇱

[@america9546]

Rashida needs to be removed !!

[@fahdh.a1590]

Know nothing party is reborn

[@motionattached]

Rashida Tlaib Is just not Africa American, otherwise he dares not talk like that. That is human weakness.

[@galewinds7696]

Thank God someone in the capital building speaks up in defense of Israel

[@Lacey_Face]

Its not our conflict. These countries have been Warring for thousands of years and probably always will. Let them figure out their own issues and may the best one win. We are tired of being the worlds babysitter involved in other ppls beefs. Israel has plenty money & weapons, some of the best pilots & troops in the world to handle it. Why not everyone pull their pants up and stop comparing peters and act like adults and not petty high schoolers. I have no problem with Israel, but I do despise Terrorism and wars that kill ppl.

[@tomthumb3732]

When you allow wolves into your home, don't be surprised when they behave like wolves.

AIPAC MONEY SPEAKS HERE

[@raymondfinch8425]

To the people that is in Congress

[@merialusher5890]

Amen .

[@lindahorn27]

I can believe you said that. 😂 I dont trust Liars! 😔

[@darrellheath9331]

Send her to Palestine

[@user-if2vi3hb8l]

Tillis finally did something right. I still wonder what his motive is. He never does the right thing.

[@nextime3927]

AIPAC MONEY SPEAKS HERE

[@nextime3927]

You saw the tunnels but didn't notice the largest prison in the world? Must have been a perfect prepaid vacation!

[@manehbag732]

Netanyahu has admitted he needs hamas to keep the conflict going. He funds them. So go ahead and keep him accountable. Be a man of your words. Let me see you try.

[@Lacey_Face]

Whats the source on that? I'd like to see or hear that.

[@ehaaron]

Hamas member spotted

[@diegosuarez1265]

The hipocresy of our goverment mermeraize me...!! Why not talking about the genocide of Israel against the palestine...!!! For more of 70 years.....!!!!

[@vemarj2802]

"You'd think..."? Er... Sorry to break it to you, Tom. The thinking stopped circa 2016. It's been only "feelings" ever since. 😂
