New York Congressman says Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib's sharing of a photoshopped image of a fake poll showing Israelis supporting the rape of terrorist prisoners proves the need to expand Natan Sharasnky's famous 'Three Ds' antisemitism test
Congressman Ritchie Torres stated that a fourth D should be added to the classic 'Three D' test for when criticism of Israel crosses the line into antisemitism after fellow Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib shared a fake poll accusing Israelis of supporting the rape of Hamas prisoners.
"Natan Sharansky speaks of the three Ds against Israel: demonization, delegitimezation, and double standards. There’s a fourth D, a new enemy of Israel in the social media age: disinformation," Torres wrote on X on Friday.
"A fake poll falsely accusing Israelis of endorsing rape against Palestinians is dangerous disinformation designed to delegitimize and demonize both the Jewish People and the Jewish State. Simply put, it is a blood libel," he said, as reported by Israel National News.
