“Newly-installed Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is being criticized for an antisemitic tweet,” in which she accused “pro-Israel Americans of dual loyalty — a common theme used by antisemites to attack Jews.”
Tlaib’s tweet was in response to Bernie Sanders’ opposition to anti-BDS legislation (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions). The BDS movement is itself “widely considered antisemitic for singling out Israel.”
The BDS movement is part of the jihad against Israel. It aims both to delegitimize the Jewish state and cripple it with economic sanctions. The ultimate goal is to obliterate the Jewish state “from the River to the Sea.”
Westerners have been naive to think that Islamic supremacist conditioning from back home will somehow be left at Western borders.
It is noteworthy how quickly the Palestinian-American Rashida Tlaib has taken her Palestinian war against Israel into her position in Congress.
“Democrat Rashida Tlaib Blasted for Antisemitic Tweet: ‘They Forgot What Country They Represent,’” Penny Starr, Breitbart, January 7, 2019:
Newly-installed Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is being criticized for an antisemitic tweet she posted on Sunday evening, accusing pro-Israel Americans of dual loyalty — a common theme used by antisemites to attack Jews.
Tlaib tweeted in response to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who is opposing legislation targeting the “boycott, divestment, sanctions” (BDS) movement — itself widely considered antisemitic for singling out Israel.
Sanders and far-left Democrats oppose the anti-BDS legislation because, they claim, it stifles freedom of speech and association — though the same Democrats often support censorship of conservatives on campus and in media.
Many states — including far-left California — already have anti-BDS legislation, which typically does not prohibit boycotts of Israel but prevents state governments from doing business with those who participate in such boycotts.
Sanders tweeted in response to an article at The Intercept, which was co-founded by Glenn Greenwald, a harsh critic of Israel.
The comment has been widely condemned for evoking an old attack on American Jews — namely, that they are not loyal to the United States. Similar false claims were made about Jews in Europe during the early 20th century by both Nazis and communists — even after Jews had served their countries in battle — leading to persecution and mass murder. …..
