No one will care. It’s what she does, and the establishment media is all on her side. But imagine if, say, Marjorie Taylor Greene promoted a fundraiser for a group devoted to opposing jihad mass murder and Sharia oppression of women. The media outcry would be insistent, and the Republican leadership in Congress would immediately call for her resignation.
“Rashida Tlaib Promoted a Fundraiser for Group Tied to Hamas, Taliban,” by Matthew Foldi, Washington Free Beacon, August 27, 2021:
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) on Wednesday shared a tweet that advertised a fundraiser for an organization with ties to Hamas and the Taliban.
Tlaib, who has a long history of anti-Semitic rhetoric, retweeted a post from critical race theorist Khaled Beydoun that urged donations to Baitulmaal, a Texas-based nonprofit. Experts say Baitulmaal helps fundraise for Hamas and distributes aid to the “families of martyrs of the Palestinian people.” And the group’s leader, Mazen Mokhtar, has been accused of working with the Taliban and other terrorist groups.
The retweet isn’t the first time Tlaib expressed support for terrorists. Days after she became a congresswoman, the controversial Democrat hosted Abbas Hamideh, a pro-Hezbollah activist who has repeatedly compared Israelis to Nazis. She shared a post last year that included an anti-Semitic phrase frequently used by Palestinian terrorist groups that seek to destroy Israel. She subsequently unshared the post.
Baitulmaal works closely with Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip, according to a 2020 analysis by the Middle East Forum. The group, which received $10,000 in emergency coronavirus funding last year, frequently partners with Unlimited Friends Association for Social Development, a Palestinian group that describes itself as a “a social, developmental, educational NGO.”
The Unlimited Friends Association works with Baitulmaal to hand out cash to the families of Palestinian terrorists, according to the Middle East Forum. These donations complement the Palestinian Authority’s formal “Pay to Slay” program, which has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Palestinian terrorists. The Palestinian government this year paid $42,000 to the family of a Palestinian terrorist who stabbed two Israelis to death and wounded two more, including a two-year-old child.
The association, which lists Baitulmaal on its website’s partners and donors page, is openly hostile towards Israel. The group’s Facebook page contains references to “the filth of the most dirty Jews” and “Nazi Zionist jails.” The association also partners with Islamic Relief, a group with which the State Department cut ties this year because of “anti-Semitism exhibited repeatedly” by its leaders.
In 2004, federal agents in Connecticut investigated Mokhtar for running a website that “solicited funds for the Taliban and Chechen mujahideen.” Mokhtar was not convicted. Three years later, he was arrested on a multi-count indictment for filing false tax returns. The lead prosecutor was former New Jersey governor Chris Christie (R.)….

The Dems are the anti-American and anti-Jewish party … you can be American or Jewish and a Dem, but you may not show any enthusiasm or you will be censored for it. No American or Israeli symbols allowed except during campaign season.
Tlaib is given a license by the Dems to be as anti-American and anti-Semitic as she likes. The Dems are thus fully complicit in promoting Jew hatred.
Tlaib is promoting ‘pay-for-slay’ … a fund to promote jihadic suicide attacks … this is about as racist and terroristic as it gets.
About 15% of Muslims self-declare in surveys as supporting a terrorist group. That means one in six Muslims supports jihadic terrorism. Tlaib is one of them … and she is RIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN about it !!
What is the world coming to when a politican in the ruling party PROMOTES GENOCIDE AGAINST JEWS. The first stage of genocide is to ‘other’ the target group and then demonize them. Tlaib demonizes Jews for wanting their own Jewish state, but she would never consider demonizing Qataris or Lithuanians or Bosnians.

Has anyone noticed that drawing the outline of Michigan, without the lakes, looks like an outline of Bart Simpson, praying toward Mecca?
Similar to personifying Idaho and Montana map images, Michigan could draw in a figure of Talib in that space.

Grimly no surprise here. Sometimes I still can’t believe Tlaib is in Congress.

“opposing jihad mass murder ”
Does jihad have to be “mass”?

Tlaib is a traitor by definition, but exempt from prosecution, because that would be Islamophobe.
