Detroit pro-Palestinian conference calls for 'destroying the idea of America'
Quote:Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) appeared at a pro-Palestinian conference in Detroit on Friday, where one of the panelists denounced the United States as “an evil country” and urged that “the idea of America” be “destroyed in Americans’ heads," according to Fox News. The comments came during the opening day of the “People’s Conference for Palestine,” a three-day event featuring a mix of activists, academics, and controversial speakers, including two individuals previously imprisoned by Israel and freed in a Hamas prisoner deal.
Sachin Peddada, a PhD student in economics and research coordinator at Progressive International, made the remarks while speaking on a panel titled “No Weapons for Genocide: The People Demand an Arms Embargo.”
“We live in an evil country,” Peddada declared, as the audience broke into applause. He went on to accuse the US of being “the most responsible country for what is happening not only in Gaza but also the West Bank and also all over the global south” since October 7, 2023.
Peddada argued that America functions as “the sole superpower of the world” with “an agenda that is driven primarily by the accumulation of profit at the expense of human lives.”
Responding to a question about how Americans can participate, he paraphrased Palestinian author Bassel al-Araj, saying, “The average American will never understand the plight of the Palestinian person because the state of Israel is a carbon copy of the United States. And, therefore, the thing to do is to destroy the idea of America in Americans’ heads so that they can see the humanity of everybody outside the warping of American exceptionalism and imperialism and all these evil things.”
He added that Americans have “a unique responsibility” from within “the heart of the empire” to act in solidarity with Palestinians.
Conference programming began Friday afternoon with an elaborate ceremony where attendees waved Palestinian flags and were asked to rise for “our national anthem,” performed in a foreign language.
Reaction online quickly followed. One user on X wrote, “As an American, I find this galling. My culture and history have already been relentlessly attacked — statues of Washington, Jefferson, and other Founders torn down as ‘controversial.’ Now we have conference speakers openly talking about ‘destroying the idea of America.’”

The only things that need to be destroyed are (1) the idea of the Palestinian state and (2) the Democratic Party.

Sachin Peddada needs to be shown the door. Send him to Gaza, Venezuela, Cuba or some other leftist utopia.

Tlaib should be kicked out of Congress for her political views. I believe hers actually go against her oath of office.

Radical Squad Member Rep. Rashida Tlaib Goes Full Anti-American at Pro-Hamas Rally — Boasts of Palestinian Infiltration and Curses in Vulgar Anti-Israel Tirade: “Every Genocide Enabler, Look at This Room, Motherf**kers… We are Not Going Anywhere” (VIDEO)
Quote:Rep. Rashida Tlaib at the People’s Conference for Palestine
At one of the most radical conferences in America, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib took the stage and lashed out at critics.
“Every genocide enabler, look at this room motherfuckers — we ain’t going anywhere.”
She then celebrated the expansion of the cause:
“They are just growing and growing. We are bringing siblings from other movements with us.”
That a sitting U.S. lawmaker is not just attending but cheering on a conference platforming terrorists, extremists, and open calls for revolt shows how deeply mainstream politics has been pulled into this radical space.
Quote:A good portion of Tlaib's speech concerned the encampments on college campuses.
"You know when my colleagues are outraged, they're outraged over the protests on college campuses in our country."
Tlaib thinks if Congress gets their way, they will "silence the universities here at home."
Tlaib discusses visiting the Wayne State University encampment. Tlaib is Wayne State Alum and discusses how her alma mater has been trying to divest from Israel for years.
She doesn't understand why colleges are invested in "weapons and war in the first place." She feels universities are sending militarized police after their students. Tlaib concludes by mentioning how these attacks and smears will be remembered in November.
Quote:Near the end of her speech, she brought up the time the House voted to censure her. Tlaib states, "They can censure me but they can't censure all of you." This really got the crowd going which she had in a fever pitch and she finished up her speech.
"We had to demand it in our country. We had to march. We had to boycott. We had to do civil disobedience. We had to make sure that we moved our country to say, 'Civil Right Act Now. Black Lives Matter Now. End the War Now.' We're going to march and we're going to move Congress and we're going to the White House because they have no other option. We're not going anywhere."

Nothing like having Hamas supporters in our Congress.

Watch: Rashida Tlaib Goes on Foul-Mouthed Rant at Pro-Hamas Event Where Speakers Called America ‘Evil’
Quote:Sachin Peddada: “We Live in an Evil Country”
At the People’s Conference for Palestine, Sachin Peddada — Research Coordinator for Progressive International and a PhD student at UMass Amherst — painted the United States not just as flawed, but as fundamentally wicked:
“We live in an evil country… that doesn’t mean we’re all evil, but it does mean we have a unique responsibility here in the heart of the empire.”
He declared that imperialism “has conquered every corner of the world,” except for “several exceptions that are worth upholding and highlighting and celebrating.” While he didn’t name them, the implication was clear: authoritarian regimes like Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, and Cuba — defined by repression, censorship, and corruption — are the “exceptions” to be admired.
Peddada then invoked the revolutionary language of “decolonization.”
“The task of decolonization is just as urgent today as it was 50 years ago.”
In the canon of anti-colonial thought, particularly Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth, decolonization is defined as a violent process — “always a violent phenomenon.”
By calling for more decolonization in 2025, Peddada wasn’t gesturing at peaceful reform but at upheaval, confrontation, and potentially violence against the “empire” he says defines America.

RE: Detroit pro-Palestinian conference calls for 'destroying the idea of America'
Muslims and Sharia law are trying to take over the planet and have made significant inroads in the last decade.
Europe is in big trouble if they do not wake up.
I am all for freedom of religion - whatever lets you sleep at night. But I am not for religion taking over our way of life like they are signaling. Send Talib and the rest of them back to their homeland and live the life you want to live there where it is acceptable.
GTFO

Speaker at Michigan’s Radical “People’s Conference for Palestine” Calls for Assassinations of U.S., Israeli, and European Leaders Who Oppose Palestinian Statehood
Quote:The mask is off.
At the so-called “People’s Conference for Palestine,” a speaker openly called for political assassinations on U.S. soil.
Nidal Jboor, who was previously arrested during the U.S. Capitol protests, took the stage this weekend and delivered a chilling tirade that sounded less like activism and more like a recruitment speech for terrorism.
Western leaders, whether in Washington, Tel Aviv, or Europe, should be “locked up, taken out, neutralized.”
He cloaked his violent rhetoric in language about “love for the children” while simultaneously demonizing “Jewish supremacists” and “Christian evangelicals,” whom he claimed hold the “thrones of power.”
Jboor made it clear that in his view, “speaking up isn’t enough, it’s time to escalate and act.”
Nidal Jboor:
“Gaza needs to be saved now. It saved all of us, liberated all of us. It is time for us to pay back and stop the criminals, the perpetrators, the child murderers—and we all know who they are. We all know who they are, whether they are in Israel, Tel Aviv, Washington, Germany, or Europe. We all name them. We all know them.
They need to be locked up. They need to be taken out. They need to be neutralized to save children, to save humanity. We are not saying this out of hate—we are saying this out of love. Love for the children, love for life, love for humanity, where every life is equal. We only hate the war criminals, the child murderers.
We need to act now. Speaking up alone is not enough. It’s two years old—we have been speaking up for two years. Now it’s time to escalate and to act, to get the murderers out, to save the children. Thank you.
The war criminals and the migrants who are owning these systems, they want the whole world to be owned by these few supremacists—whether they are Jewish supremacists or Christian supremacists, Christian evangelicals, or meagerage.
It is now or never. We need to mobilize. If we wait five years, ten years, their system will be so strong that we, the people, cannot fight it. We need to take the thrones of power from them, and we, the people, need to create a better world and better humanity for everyone.”

RE: Detroit pro-Palestinian conference calls for 'destroying the idea of America'
Quote:Lara Logan explains how Islam commands the “overthrow of the existing government” Muslims migrate to
Lara Logan “Islam is not a religion. It's a civilization. This is a very significant difference because people think that under the First Amendment of The United States that the protection, the freedom of religion means that you have the freedom to use religion to enforce and advance a political ideology, even where it means the overthrow of the existing government.
And that is not the case.
Islam defines itself as a civilization, and religion is really part of that, but it is not the defining thing, and why does it matter so much?
Well, because the civilization of Islam is governed by Sharia. And by that, I mean Sharia law. Right. And you cannot have Sharia law coexisting with the constitution and American law.
Those two things are diametrically opposed in every single respect. They're not even vaguely tied to each other — This is so what we have allowed in The United States, we have allowed first amendment protection.
— Islam is a political organization that uses the religion as a cover and as a front”

Why? Because decent hard-working people can't seem to fathom the threat that Islam and marxism represent. We think our government will take care of it but they're just as likely to be part of it. If any of us tried to organize against it and used activist tactics such as the left employs we would be labeled as domestic terrorists.

It sure seems that way. Hopefully, they, like the democrats, have gotten out way ahead of their skis. The tide may be turning, all across the UK people are demonstrating in the streets against the immigrant culture that has all but destroyed merry old England, Scotland and Ireland.
There's a tipping point that we apparently haven't quite reached yet. When we do things will get scary for a lot pf people.
