So let’s talk about this tweet and whether accusations against Tlaib are just right-wing propaganda or legitimate. Image
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. Image
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. Image
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:

Not really a surprise that the pro-Hamas Washington Post would frame open anti-Semitism as criticizing Israel. Image
Here are some of the examples the Washington Post alleged journalist @pranshuverma_ listed as examples of criticizing Israel…

I don’t care if you want to object to what @StopAntisemites does, but framing this as criticism of Israel is just lying. And intentionally doing so.

Is Israel Committing “Genocide” or indiscriminately killing Palestinians in Gaza?

I’m tired of people going through this discussion without any accompanying facts or logic so I’m going to put some thoughts into one thread and people can decide for themselves.
To properly have this discussion, we first need to go through and understand Gaza casualty figures. Where they come from and what they show.

The current Gaza casualty figures are all provided by the Hamas-affiliated Gaza Health Ministry. In previous conflicts with Israel, the Gaza Health Ministry has used a system of collecting data from hospitals, ambulance services, and morgues (we can refer to this as the central collection system) to come up with casualty figures. Their numbers do not usually distinguish civilian vs. militant casualties, but they do typically provide a demographic breakdown. Those who defend using their numbers will point to the fact that the Gaza Health Ministry casualty numbers in previous conflicts, collected via the CCS mentioned above, have often been consistent with estimates from other sources.
However, there have been large errors in the demographic breakdowns and in claims on the portion of combatants killed when provided. Usually, some NGOs are also doing their own counts to confirm, which is not happening in this conflict.
In the current war, the Gaza Health Ministry started collecting casualties the same way via the CCS when the war began. They showed ~9K deaths before Israel launched their ground invasion at the end of October. Then, as the data below shows, the casualty rate dropped significantly in the CCS data after the initial period of fighting in November. What is also clear from the CCS data, as shown below, is the proportion of male casualties (the category most, but not all, Hamas militants would fit into) increased significantly over time.Image

These are Jordanians who were born in Jordan and have lived there their whole lives. Only by the insane UNRWA definition, which applies to no other group of people anywhere in the world, are Jordanian citizens that have only ever lived in Jordan considered refugees.
This is like referring to Jews in Israel, whose grandparents fled Arab countries such as Jordan, as refugees. Only no one does that because it’s obviously absurd. But UNRWA is intentionally setup outside the normal rules for everyone else to perpetuate conflict.
Not one person can reasonably explain why the grandchild of a Palestinian Arab who moved from The current West Bank to Syria in 1952 is a refugee but the grandchild of a Jewish Syrian who was forced to flee to Israel in 1950 is not one. Or why they were not considered refugees when Jordan controlled The West Bank from 1947-1967, but are now.

It's incredible that almost the entire media adopted and regularly used a nickname for this law ("Don't Say Gay") that was used by critics to intentionally mislead regarding the content of the law while the settlement just restates that the law should be followed as written.
I pointed out repeatedly at the time that media outlets were misleading their readers by suggesting the law bans discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity instead of classroom instruction related to those subjects....

Even now the AP presents this as a new agreement, but it's exactly what the actual text said at the time...

If you want to understand how Hamas propaganda is created on here and spreads, let me show a perfect example.

21 year old Mia Schem was taken hostage by Hamas on 10/7. She had her arm blown off. She was released as part of the ceasefire exchange.
While she was still in Hamas captivity, they had her film a hostage video in October.

Then, right before her release, they had her film another video under gunpoint where she said she was treated “very good” and people in Gaza were “very kind” to her.
The main anti-Israel propaganda accounts on here then promoted that video for millions of views suggesting Hamas was treating the hostages very well.

A perfect example of how ignorant reporters create false narratives that get exploited in this media environment.

Yesterday there was a lot of outrage over a CNN report from @NatashaBertrand which claimed almost a majority of the bombs Israel was using in Gaza were “dumb bombs” Image
The implication of most of the article, which was widely cited to support the idea that Israel was doing something irresponsible, was that Israel’s choice of unguided munitions was similar 2 indiscriminate targeting.

Although they did add 1 paragraph that undermined the premise Image
But what Bertrand failed to do was add any context as to whether that rate of “dumb bombs” was appropriate or consistent with other military actions.

When ABC News looked at that, they found it was a “historically high level of precision weapons” being used. Image
