Actually, the First Palestinian-American in Congress was a Jewish fella

Not that it matters for the Democrat party of jihad and their enemedia lapdogs’ endless stream of jihad propaganda promoting the racist annihilationist, Detroit-born Rashida Tlaib as the first ‘Palestinian’ Congressperson. Unfortunately, facts are the enemy of these supremacist revisionists. Challenge them with facts and you, too, will be smeared as a racist-islamophobic-anti-muslim-bigot. If Tlaib is the first in anything, it’s the first vocal and unfiltered genocidal hatemonger in Congress.

The First Actual Palestinian-American in Congress (and He Was Jewish)

Rashida Tlaib is being called the first Palestinian-American woman elected to Congress. There have also been several congressmen claiming Palestinian descent: Justin Amash who represents Michigan’s 3rd Congressional District, and John E. Sununu, who served in the House from 1997-2003.

But did you know that there was a Palestinian-American in the House long before any of them, who was in fact the only one who was actually a citizen of “Palestine,” and who had a Palestinian passport?

And that he was Jewish?

First, a word about what “Palestinian” means.

There have been between three political entities that could be called “Palestine:” the first was a Roman province created when the Romans joined what was formerly called Judea to Roman Syria and called it “Syria Palaestina,” in order to irritate the Jews left alive after they sacked Jerusalem. That didn’t stick, and Judea went back to being called Judea.

Then there was the British Mandate for Palestine, which existed from 1923 to 1948, and encompassed several provinces of the former Ottoman Empire. It was replaced by the State of Israel.

Finally there is today’s Palestinian Authority, which was created by the Oslo Accords, and governs some 95% of the Arabs in Judea and Samaria, and theoretically all of Gaza. It is not a state and cannot issue legal passports.
John Krebs’ Palestinian passport. Note stamp near the bottom indicating that he was a Palestinian citizen

John Hans Krebs z”l (born Hans Joachim Krebs in Berlin, Germany, in 1927) moved to Mandatory Palestine with his parents in 1933. As a young man he served in the pre-state Hagana, and then came to the US to study law at the University of California at Berkeley in 1946, when he was almost 20. He got his law degree in 1950, served in the US Army from 1952-54, and received US citizenship in 1954. He also married his wife, Hanna in that year.

John held several political jobs in Fresno, California in 1965-74. He was elected to Congress from California’s 17th district as a Democrat in 1974, and served until 1979.

John was simply the nicest guy you could ever meet, soft-spoken, but very intelligent and knowledgeable; not at all a typical politician. I can’t imagine what he would have thought about Rashida Tlaib’s vulgar remark about the president. Although I suspect John thought I was a bit extreme politically, he always had a big smile for me.

And he was the first actual Palestinian-American member of Congress.

The deceptive incitement for an illegal Muhammadist tyranny with clitodirectomy, mental & physical slavery & blasphemy laws, replacing Israel is at the center of political & cultural discourse in the USA diverting from the enslavement of Africans by Muhammadists today.
Pamela Geller who regularly reports on this enslavement was scolded by Trump with the words: “Why is she insulting everybody?”.
By promoting Trump Pamela Geller normed an inferior role under the unjust Muhammad-law which was imposed by Trump.
Meanwhile Trump patronizes the unforgivable censorship for Muhammadism of social & mind-control media & education & sells weapons to Saudi Arabia where Africans are enslaved, atheists killed & girls clitodirectomized & raped & to new Muhammadist tyranny Nigeria which was created along continuous mass-murder by Muhammadists.
Africans are enslaved, castrated, divorced, beaten & killed in Saudi Arabia & enslaved in UAE, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Lebanon, Bahrain, North-Sudan, Libya, Algeria, Mauritania, Niger, Mali, Somalia, Nigeria in emulation of unjust Muhammad who started the global African slave-trade by saying his unproven deity had turned Africans black so Africans’ descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks.

The first Palestinian flag is something I was never taught.
More revision of history!

Agreed, much is not taught in schools or are skewed to meet a leftist agenda. More so, when it comes to The State of Israel that is deemed the Great Satan as is the USA under the leadership of Trump. This propaganda the omission of historical facts is not by chance, but design; those, the drones or malleable minds of students are at great risk. Moreover, the propagation of lies finely tuned throughout the decades and is accelerating. Misinformation, the conjuring of lies to fabricate truth is a ploy utilized by Democrats and others of an autocratic objective. Tlaib is an example of the inner-workings of the treasonous Democrats’ ceaseless bent on the Leftist-Progressive’s insatiable thirst for power. The unconscionable selling-out the American peoples and the Constitution bears no weight on this godless party and its apostates. Power at all cost is their mantra.

The leading of our children down the Marxist, collectivist pathway while blinded by historical falsehoods, sanitized history from the propagandist handlers, the educators.

Yes, it’s all orchestrated. Substance and real knowledge has been replaced with lefty propaganda.
They purposely keep them immature and emotional to be easily manipulated and ideally government dependent. No worries! The government will solve their problems. LOL!

“Palestine” will never be truly free as long as their people cling to Islam.
