Freshman Democrat @RashidaTlaib, mostly known as a vulgar anti-Semite who claims to be "Palestinian", a region which in reality and fact, is called GAZA , unleashes anti-Semitic dual loyalty smear washex.am/2Fb4S2h
Democratic Sens. Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen of Maryland attempted this weekend to make a separate process argument against the bill, arguing that the Senate should not take up any business unrelated to ending the partial government shutdown.
But Tlaib obliterated that messaging strategy when she pulled out the anti-Semitic guns, saying advocates of the bill "forgot what country they represent."
The idea of Jews as having divided loyalty, and of using their influence to convince others to act against the interests and principles of their own country, is an age-old anti-Semitic trope.
Tlaib supports anti-Israel boycotts. She also defended former CNN contributor Marc Lamont Hill after he was fired for calling for the elimination of Israel and endorsing violence against Jews.
The Democratic Party has a festering anti-Semitism problem within its own ranks, and so far it seems content to look the other way and excuse the deployment of stereotypical attacks on Jews as long as they are thinly masked as mere criticism of Israel.
