Rashida Tlaib's Dem challenger accuses her of anti-Semitic rhetoric. 'She goes crazy' (jewishinsider.com )
A Michigan Democrat who says she plans to challenge far-left U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib in a primary for an open U.S. House seat in the state this fall has accused the Detroit congresswoman of “anti-Semitic rhetoric.”
“When she gets that mic in front of her, she goes crazy and goes to many extremes,” Shanelle Jackson, a former Michigan state representative from 2007-2012, told the Jewish Insider in an interview published Friday. “I really feel like it’s now or never as it pertains to being able to sort of shut her down and calm down some of the anti-Semitic rhetoric,” Jackson added.
As everyone knows, Talaib is one of the so called squad members. Also she has been labeled as an anti-Semite for her past comments. Ones that still stand out as offensive and hateful. Here are just a few of her past comments.
"I will not support an effort to enable and support war crimes, human rights abuses, and violence," she said of Israel on the House floor. Tlaib referred to Israel as a "violent apartheid system" during a debate over funding for Israel’s Iron Dome system. "Gaza to Detroit" were being controlled by people "behind a curtain." The reference sounded to some like an anti-Semitic conspiracy that rich Jewish "globalists" secretly control the world, according to the Times of Israel. "There’s kind of a calming feeling I always tell folks when I think of the Holocaust, and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors, Palestinians, who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence in many ways, have been wiped out" to create Israel.
