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:

If you’re surprised that Candace Owens is now downplaying and whatabouting Hitler’s crimes, then you haven’t been paying attention.

She has signaled for some time that she thinks America was wrong to take on Hitler in WWII.
Image
Image
She literally doesn’t actually know anything about history or any of these topics. She just picks up random facts/claims on Nazi websites now and runs with them to justify her idiotic narratives. And any time anyone points it out, she just claims she is a victim being silenced. Image
But don’t worry. It’s not just pro-Hitler, antisemitic, and anti-American conspiracies. She also doesn’t believe in dinosaurs and isn’t sure if the world is round.

So she does diversify her ignorance.

The Hill chooses to platform this despicable lowlife bigot and her atrocity/rape denials.

She spent their entire show spewing one lie after the next using that platform.
A reminder the evidence of rape on 10/7 is overwhelming.

In addition, she uses retracted, false, and evidence-free accusations against Israel while issuing these atrocity denials. A truly evil person.
Truly one of the dumbest people to ever have a media platform. Image

What an evil and dishonest lowlife.

I tried to warn people about this scumbag grifter for years. Should have listened.

That janitor, who changed his story repeatedly, was the main prosecution witness despite being found with blood on him. A mob demanded a conviction and then lynched Leo Frank based on it.

A witness came forward years later to confirm that Conley had been carrying the victim’s body and threatened him into silence at the time.

Read the details of The Tennessean investigation in to the case that eventually led to a posthumous pardon of Leo Frank:

Candace Owens is so desperate to smear Jews that she’s covering for an actual pedophile and killed in this case.t.co/62MWqDz5vl
Just to be clear, Conley didn’t even deny disposing of Mary Phagan’s body. He just claimed that Leo Frank made him do it.

But it was obvious he was lying at the time because he said him and Frank took an elevator from the second floor to the basement with the body, but there was proof the elevator hadn’t gone to the basement that day.

Then this witness said he saw just Conley with Phagan’s body on the first floor. Conley threatened him so he stayed quiet.

The police ended up arresting several suspects, but Leo Frank was the easiest to pin it on because he was last seen with Phagan. But the only real evidence against him was the testimony of the likely actual killer. There was a mob that formed outside the courthouse demanding they convict someone. Then they lynched Frank. It one of the clearest cases of a historical wrongful conviction imaginable.

Of course none of that matters to Candace Owens, who is on a crusade just to smear Jews regardless of the facts.

I hope anyone who ever defended her realizes now the monster they created.
This isn’t a one-off mistake. Owens now spends all of her time posting nonsensical historical smears related to Jews.

All of her claims, including this one, are basically sourced from random white nationalists.

Another unrelated example from today:

Let me make it easy for those interested in the truth or who have been denying that these mobs are motivated by anti-Semitism or support for terrorism. Here is a short thread with just some of the direct evidence. I will just focus on the protests at and around Columbia:
As @jonathanchait pointed out, the main 2 groups behind the protests, SJP and WOL, have both openly expressed support for terrorism. Both groups have defended the 10/7 attack where Hamas massacred numerous innocent people:
The main student organizer of the Columbia protests is on video saying he believes “Zionists do not deserve to live” and was on video directing other students to expel 3 Jewish students who simply walked into the area:

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.

@pranshuverma_ @StopAntisemites This a pattern with The Washington Post, which clearly indicates intent:

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
