So let’s talk about this tweet and whether accusations against Tlaib are just right-wing propaganda or legitimate.
During the campaign, Tlaib claimed to support a 2-state solution, only to then turn around and admit to only supporting 1 state after she won the primary. That led to even far-left JStreet withdrawing their support. haaretz.com/us-news/.premi…
After she was elected, Tlaib covered up Israel on a map in her office with a post-it note that said Palestine.
Problem with one-state is that Jews wouldn’t have a place in such a state. Even now, Palestinians are being sentenced to jail and death just for selling land to Jews.
Tlaib has also refused to answer questions as to whether she supports the PA, which pays terrorists and their families to kill Israeli civilians. Or even whether she supports Hamas, the gov’t in Gaza, which governs Gaza, has killed Americans, and is a designated terror group.
When Former CNN Contributor Marc Lamont Hill got in trouble for using the Hamas slogan “Free Palestine From The River to the Sea” and advocated for terrorism against Israelis, Tlaib posted a petition defending him: freebeacon.com/politics/tlaib…
Tlaib publicly endorsed the anti-Semitic BDS movement. She has not supported a boycott for any other country, including the Palestinian territories being led by pro-terrorist governments. Explanation for why BDS is anti-Semitic:
Tlaib celebrated her inauguration to Congress with far-left activist and Women’s March co-founder Linda Sarsour, who was already facing her own controversy for an extensive history of anti-Semitic statements and associations.
Then last week Tlaib sent a blatantly anti-Semitic tweet using the classic dual loyalty accusation to attack supporters of a bi-partisan anti-BDS bill in Congress. Even the ADL was forced to call her out for this. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/freshm…
Finally, this week it was discovered Tlaib invited a blatantly anti-Semitic Hezbollah and Hamas supporter to a private family dinner celebrating her ascent to Congress. That has led to condemnation from Republican AND Dem Jewish groups. foxnews.com/politics/jewis…
You might be able to argue one or a few of these isn't sufficient evidence, but combined it presents a damning picture of antisemitic tendencies and associations. You don't need to be "right-wing" to recognize that reality.
Most damning: This extensive record has received almost no coverage from the mainstream media and no comment from Dem leadership in Congress. If you search for the last story I mentioned, almost all the links are either from conservative or Jewish news sources.
I'll keep adding to this thread until our esteemed media actually decides to ask Tlaib or her colleagues about this record. Here is another association Tlaib has w/ an antisemitic pro-terrorist activist (Deena was a speaker at CAIR's reception for Tlaib):
I'll just keep adding this to the list. Maybe one day a mainstream outlet will actually show some interest in actually holding Democrats accountable for the bigotry in their caucus.
One more: Rashida Tlaib (D) wrote a column for Louis Farrakhan's blog in 2006: businessinsider.com/rashida-tlaib-…
No big deal. Just a member of Congress following an account that posts about the "Jewish agenda" and compares Jews to Nazis...
Democrats have an antisemitism problem, and it's not going away.
Adding Tlaib's latest comments justifying her opposition to the existence of Israel with historical lies to this thread:
Wow. Even with everything in this thread, I was shocked by some of the content in this video. @israel_advocacy went through some posts of the people Tlaib identified as her closest friends and campaign workers. They are truly shocking.
Going to add this here. This is who they are and who they choose to associate with. A major stain on Democrats that they have chosen to defend or be silent about this:
Just going to keep adding the daily examples of Tlaib's antisemitisim here so it will be easier to keep track of when a bunch of people who have been excusing it try to pretend they didn't know later on:
Hey look,
It's Rashida Tlaib promoting and defending another obvious anti-Semite.
Any chance the press will ask her about the pro-terrorist, anti-semitic, and anti-US military views of the person she is openly defending/praising here?
Anti Semitic Congresswoman now spreading false blood libel against Jews. No one seems bothered. Just accepted as normal now.
Good time to add to this thread.
Tlaib's response to Biden picking a Jewish SoS:
Then today she retweeted a phrase used by Hamas to call for ethnic genocide of Israeli Jews:
I stopped adding to this thread last year, but I'm going to restart to keep a record. Here is Tlaib lying about police clashes to try to portray those attacking Jews trying to visit the holiest site in Judaism as the victims:
Rashida Tlaib has a fairly consistent pattern of supporting and whitewashing the actions of terrorists that try to murder Jews.
More examples:
