Rashida Tlaib (D.-Nablus) is still conducting her endless campaign of vilification and hate directed at Israel. A report on her latest attack is here: “Media Bias Provides Cover for Rashida Tlaib’s Efforts to Hide Palestinian Terror,” by Gidon Ben-zvi, Algemeiner, September 5, 2021:
On August 28, United States Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) ignited a firestorm after posting a claim on Twitter that Israel was dehumanizing Palestinians by not returning the body of an assailant who in June had attempted to ram a car into IDF soldiers before exiting the vehicle while wielding a knife. She was subsequently shot dead.
The assailant was Mai Afana, who had tried to kill Israeli soldiers, first with a car-ramming at a checkpoint and then with the knife she wielded after exiting the car, with which she intended to stab them.
- First, there is the obvious fact that Tlaib failed to even note that Afana had committed an act of terrorism.
- Second, Afana was not killed by “the Israeli government,” but rather by security forces who were intentionally targeted.
- Third, Tlaib alludes to an Israeli policy whose underpinnings she is clearly unfamiliar with.
