(IPT) When U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib argued last month that true progressives cannot “back Israel’s apartheid government,” she and her supporters insisted it wasn’t an antisemitic statement covering the vast majority of American Jews.
As I noted at the time, however, the Michigan Democrat’s previous statements show her problem is not with the Israeli government, but with the existence of the Jewish state.
She again made that clear last week in a video praising six Palestinian charities Israel shut down in October 2021 due to their ties to Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorists.
“These incredible people inspire me every single day,” she said, “and countless others, with their dedication and their courage to shine the light on the horrors of Israel’s apartheid government despite the extremely serious risks.”
