(Jewish Group) Tlaib removes tweet 'river to the sea' phrase associated with Israel's elimination

[Behind the Aegis]

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., removed from her Twitter feed a retweet that said “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” a phrase that has been associated with calls to wipe out Israel.

On Nov. 29, the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, Tlaib retweeted a tweet from an account that featured the phrase accompanied by an image of a poster marking the day.

Tlaib, a Palestinian American who does not believe Israel should exist as a Jewish state, came under fire for the retweet from pro-Israel groups.

“Rashida Tlaib is not just opposed to Israeli control of the West Bank — this slogan means she sees the entire State of Israel as illegitimate and wants it eliminated,” Democratic Majority for Israel said in a tweet. “That’s an immoral and reprehensible position.”

Trump got record Jewish vote there. Not quite the majority, but off the charts, historically.

It's not helping that Biden is filling his cabinet up with antisemitic retreads.

2. Once or even twice might be considered an "oversight", unfortunately with Rep Tlaib this has

become a pattern, and it isn't an "accident"

I still remember the video of her booing Hillary Clinton.
