U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib expressed concern Sunday that President-elect Joe Biden’s pick for Secretary of State might try to silence her criticism of Israeli government policy. Biden tapped longtime diplomat Tony Blinken for the role.
“Just make sure he doesn’t try to silence me and suppress my First Amendment right to speak out against Netanyahu’s racist and inhumane policies,” Tlaib wrote on Twitter, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Tlaib wrote a similar message immediately after. Both were in reply to progressive leaders who had praised the selection of Blinken. Her concerns come days after the State Department announced that it had determined the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement targeting Israel was antisemitic and that it would end funding to organizations that support BDS.

Yes Madam! You can speak in Ramallah all you want. Here hate speech is illegal.
Yes Madam! You can speak in Ramallah all you want. Here hate speech is illegal. Inhumane?? You mean maiming, bombings, kidnapping and stabbings of innocent people is humane! You don’t know what humane means!!
Tlaib consistently proves her allegiances to terror are greater than to America or democracy. And her extreme anti-Semitism will be allowed to be spoken through Congress when we have a president that tolerates such positions as if they have a moral thread to them. In reality, she is a plant from the terrorist regimes around the world to undermine the politics that recognizes terror as evil. I pray that she becomes a victim of her own terror.
This stupid dog should go enter a refugee camp in Khan Yunis.
