Radical leftist Congressmuslim Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) will likely face off against a challenger who rejects the “Squad” member’s anti-Semitic rhetoric in a primary bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives this fall.
BizPacReview “When she gets that mic in front of her, she goes crazy and goes to many extremes,” Shanelle Jackson, who previously served from 2007 – 2012 as a Michigan state representative, explained to the Jewish Insider in a phone interview. “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 antisemitic rhetoric,” the 41-year-old explained.
Tlaib – the only Palestinian-Muslim to hold a seat in Congress – has frequently been accused of making antisemitic statements
“We cannot be talking only about Israelis’ need for safety at a time when Palestinians are living under a violent apartheid system,” Tlaib said last September when she voted against funding the Iron Dome defense system in Israel, calling the Israeli government “an apartheid regime.”

Jackson sees the Democratic House primary contest as a “great opportunity” and plans to launch her campaign for the newly drawn 12th Congressional District seat in mid-February. The seat is currently held by Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-MI) who has announced plans to retire when her term is up.
“I think right now is the moment,” Jackson said. “It’s almost palpable in the city of Detroit and in this region: Black women are stepping up in leadership. We’re hungry to have our voice in the room and at the table.”
Although Tlaib, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, has represented the 13th Congressional District since 2019, she will seek to spend her third term in the 12th Congressional District seat which is up for grabs in the Aug. 2 primary.

Jackon slammed Tlaib, saying “She obviously is carrying the water of Palestine in all that she does.”
“Just saying it real plain, I believe that the United States and Israel are sisters, and I can’t imagine living in a world where our nation didn’t have Israel’s back,” said Jackson, an evangelical Christian. “It’s heartbreaking, to be honest with you, to have Rep. Tlaib not even wanting to explore that path.”
Jackson sees parallels with the history of her black ancestors and that of the Jewish community. “I want to convey to the Jewish community that, as an African-American woman, to me, our stories are extremely similar,” she said. “We can look at the history of the civil rights movement, we can look at our shared history here in this country.”
Rashida Tlaib’s tweet claiming “Israeli forces attacked Palestinians ‘kneeling in prayer’ a deadly dog whistle.”
BizPacReview Michigan Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who has regularly been accused of making antisemitic remarks, was blasted on social media over the weekend after she falsely suggested that Israeli forces launched an unprovoked attack on Palestinian worshippers.
“Why is Israel attacking Al Aqsa on Eid Al Adha (the holiest day for Muslims)? Why attack people who are literally kneeling down in prayer?” Tlaib, who herself is of Palestinian descent, posted on Sunday, retweeting a short video clip that was posted by Al Jazeera correspondent Arwa Ibrahim of what appears to be Israeli police or security forces moving forward at the mosque and firing non-lethal rounds.
“Answer: To continue dehumanizing Palestinians even in prayer. It’s not enough to bomb them while they sleep or demolish their homes,” she added. Ibrahim wrote in her post, without any context: “First moments of when Israeli forces stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound after Fajr prayer this morning.”
Tlaib’s tweet was immediately refuted and she was personally ripped for making the claim. “The worst kind of dog whistle politics,” writer and attorney Jonathan Levin clapped back on Twitter.
“This same lie has triggered Arab massacres of Jews for a century. If Israel wanted to take the Temple Mount, it could at any moment, yet this lie is repeated ad nauseum and never seems to come to fruition. All it does is stoke hatred,” he added.

“Americans have spent decades raping and pillaging my people.”
I guess that’s only fair, after all, her people (Muslims) have been raping, pillaging, enslaving, and murdering people (many millions) for 1400 years.
BareNakedIslam says
LOL! Someone should ask her exactly which Americans were raping and pillaging (“her people”) Arab Muslims who claim to be “Palestinians?” Show us the names, bitch.

Racist White hater/Black hater, Jew hater/Christian hater, American hater, Israel hater, RABID GOD HATER, Wicked witch, DESPICABLE LIAR, Tlaib, is silent about the fact that for 1,400 years, Muslims have savagely slaughtered and raped, gang raped and seized black, brown and white
all races for slaves and sex slaves, and continue this terrible evil and great sin against the Just Judge, the Righteous HOLY ONE, our Precious Creator, who dwells in unapproachable light, up until this very day.
The Screams of Agony of the black Christian Sex Slaves in Africa; the Sudan, and white Christian sex slave child victims in Britain, pierce the heavens. The earth is soaked with their BLOOD and TEARS.
