Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D) calls Israel a ‘racist country’ while also erroneously claiming Israel denies COVID vaccine to Palestinians, when she knows that according to the Oslo Accords, which was signed in Washington, D.C., health and social welfare are under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority, not Israel.

By TZVI JOFFRE

 

US Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib called Israel a “racist state” and falsely claimed that Israel was denying access to coronavirus vaccines to Palestinians in an interview with the left-wing news program Democracy Now! on Tuesday.

“I mean, I think it’s really important to understand Israel is a racist state and that they would deny Palestinians, like my grandmother, access to a vaccine, that they don’t believe that she’s an equal human being that deserves to live, deserves to be able to be protected by this global pandemic,” said Tlaib in the interview.

VIDEO REPORT: Identity of Rep. Rashida Tlaib backers will shock Americans

The Israel Advocacy Movement investigated Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib’s inner circle and exposed 18 of her closest colleagues, supporters and friends, many posting content exalting the mass-murder of Jews, leaving a serious question on her suitability for the U.S.Congress.

By Israel Today Staff

 

She’s a true Palestinian politician.

US Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) has mastered the art of speaking out of both sides of her mouth, a trait shared by the Palestinian leadership in Ramallah.

But this week, Tlaib made sure to wish a “Happy Hanukkah” to all her potential Jewish voters.

At least one Israeli TV anchor tore Tlaib to shreds over that disingenuous holiday greeting. Continue Reading »
