SCOOP: Rashida Tlaib Hosts Another Extreme Anti-Israel, Terror-Affiliated Activist @jncatron On Capitol Hill dailycaller.com/2019/04/17/tla… via @dailycaller
Democratic Michigan Rep. @RashidaTlaib met with members of the anti-Israel organization American Muslims for Palestine during an advocacy event they hosted on Capitol Hill.
.@RepRashida was photographed after sitting down with Joe Catron, an extreme anti-Israel activist and outspoken terrorist supporter.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) describes the BDS movement as “the most prominent effort to undermine Israel’s existence” and has further criticized AMP (American Muslims for Palestine) for promoting anti-Semitism under the guise of educating Americans.
AMP hailed the ADL’s anti-Israel description of its organization.
Catron is a long-time extreme anti-Israel activist and has openly supported terrorist organizations. He serves as the U.S. coordinator of Samidoun, the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network.
Samidoun is an affiliate arm of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a Palestinian Marxist–Leninist and revolutionary socialist organization. 
The United States designated PFLP a terrorist organization in 1997, and Australia, Japan, Canada and the European Union shortly followed suit.
Catron’s cover photo on both of his personal Twitter and Facebook accounts is a montage of a PFLP fighter donned in the organization’s official logo, as well as rockets and soldiers pointed towards a target over the state of Israel.
It also displays the Arabic phrase “If you do [more attacks on Gaza] we will do [as well], hell is waiting for you.” The phrase is attributed to Mohammad Deif, the supreme military commander of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing.
Moreover, the feature image on his social media accounts are of himself posed alongside Leila Khaled, a member of PFLP who is a known Palestinian terrorist most notable for hijacking airplanes.
After PFLP murdered an Israeli policewoman in 2017 during a terrorist attack in Jerusalem, Catron posted PFLP’s official statement on his social media and referred to the event as “heroic.”
The attack was described by the PFLP as a “blood oath” to Palestinians, and the organization echoed the Hamas war cry to eradicate Israel.
