Even if one concedes that following 'win' narrative of globalist neoconservatives funding MAGA leadership today saw a setback and Congresswoman Tlaib's prediction is coming true, today's Congressional House vote was just a battle and may not necessarily mean a full defeat for agenda of GOPA top donors. Even if it's image is tarnished after impeachment by House, chances are slim to none that Senate would remove "The most pro-Israel President in US history" considering that Senate is usually considered 'Israel country'. ( Ref. LewRockwell.com: U.S. Senators Are Nearly All Stooges for Israel). Would be unrealstic by critics of globalist foreign policy to see today's developments as a 'defeat for zionism' and expect any major reversal of ongoing foreign policy that ensures standing with our closest allies in mideast.

US angers Palestinians with reversal on Israeli settlements
MATTHEW LEE AP Diplomatic Writer
November 19, 2019
WASHINGTON -- The Trump administration on Monday said it no longer considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank to be a violation of international law, reversing four decades of American policy and further undermining the Palestinians’ effort to gain statehood.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the U.S. is repudiating the 1978 State Department legal opinion that held that civilian settlements in the occupied territories are “inconsistent with international law.” Israeli leaders welcomed the decision while Palestinians and other nations warned that it undercut any chance of a broader peace deal.

Hopefully there was not repeat of such profanity laced language that was used while predicting impeachment earlier this year:

Meet Dr Miriam Adelson: the record-breaking Republican donor driving Trump's Israel policy

When Dr Miriam Adelson was awarded the US Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s top civilian honor,by Donald Trump in November, the public response ranged from disdainful to “who?” Her husband, the casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson, is widely known for his record donations to Republican causes, as well as passionate support for conservative Israeli interests. Many news articles about the award described Miriam solely as his wife.
But Miriam’s influence has been deeper than many credit, although she appears to have been perfectly comfortable remaining in her 85-year-old husband’s shadow until recently.

One of the few outward hints of Miriam’s powerful role comes with the couple’s his-and-hers political contributions – made to the same candidates and causes, in identical amounts. When the couple gave $30m to the Congressional Leadership Fund, dedicated to electing Republicans to the US House of Representatives, last May, it was $15m from him and $15m from her.
Miriam turns out to be far wealthier than her husband, who was ranked #21 on the Forbes 2018 billionaire ranking. She appears nowhere on the Forbes list, but according to the corporate filings of the Las Vegas Sands Corp casino company, which accounts for the bulk of the couple’s wealth, she directly controls a 41.6% stake, compared to her husband’s 10%.
Worth $17.4bn at the current stock price, her holdings make Miriam wealthier than a number of the world’s richest men, including Rupert Murdoch and Charles Schwab.

Rep.-elect Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) votes for Speaker-designate Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) along with her kids during the first session of the 116th Congress at the U.S. Capitol January 03, 2019 Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images/AFP
Newly inaugurated congresswoman, Rashida Tlaib, took a jab at U.S. President Donald Trump - vowing to impeach him. Speaking at a MoveOn.org event in Washington D.C., hours after being sworn into office, Tlaib used particularly colorful language to describe the president.
Axios's Alexi McCammond reported that at the event Tlaib, quoting her son, said, “Look mama you won. Bullies don’t win," to which she replied, “You’re right, they don’t. And we’re gonna go in and impeach the motherfucker.”
