(Washington Times) Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Michigan Democrat, was declared “Antisemite of the Year” in the pro-Jewish group StopAntisemitism’s annual poll, beating out Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
Ms. Tlaib was the top vote-getter in the online poll that drew more than 15,000 votes. Supermodel Gigi Hadid was the other of the three finalists.
StopAntisemitism called the award “long overdue.”
“Rep. Tlaib’s well-earned title reflects a long history of antisemitism, but her statements in the wake of Hamas’s October 7 attacks were particularly unconscionable,” said StopAntisemitism executive director Liora Rez.
“Tlaib not only victim-blamed Israel, but she also accused it of committing genocide against the Palestinians and continues to defend calls to ethnically cleanse Israel of Jews and genocide,” Ms. Rez said.
