As Hannah mentioned earlier, the 116th Congress was sworn in today…and while the left celebrates the “first Muslim Congresswomen” anyone with a shred of decency or common sense doesn’t know that things like THIS should be celebrated:
Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. #Gaza #Palestine #Israel

Wow.
But this is a “Diversity win,” right?
Today this anti-Semite and anti-Israel activist is being sworn in as a Democrat member of Congress https://t.co/sw7wvWCUHq

Well… that’s not it, unfortunately. It gets worse.
According to this:
Newly elected Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American woman to serve in Congress, doesn’t appear to be concerned about allegations of antisemitism, judging by the way she behaved as the government’s bicameral legislature returned to session Thursday.
First, she announced that she would be sworn in with a Koran while adorned in a Palestinian gown:

Whatever. She can wear whatever she wants. That’s not what’s concerning.
THIS is what’s concerning.
Someone has already made a slight alteration to the map that hangs in Rashida Tlaib’s new congressional office. pic.twitter.com/mwyshIog4r

Yeah.
It’s not about the dress, folks.
The note, in particular, drew widespread concern on social media due to Tlaib’s connections to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign, an insidious anti-Israel movement whose members believe that the world’s only Jewish nation-state shouldn’t exist.
“Many of the founding goals of the BDS movement, including denying the Jewish people the universal right of self-determination — along with many of the strategies employed in BDS campaigns — are anti-Semitic,” the Anti-Defamation League notes.
“Many individuals involved in BDS campaigns are driven by opposition to Israel’s very existence as a Jewish state. Often time, BDS campaigns give rise to tensions in communities – particularly on college campuses – that can result in harassment or intimidation of Jews and Israel supporters.”
so supporting the elimination of Israel is but a “slight alteration”?

Rashida Tlaib, with Linda Sarsour by her side, entering congress today and already changing world maps. This was the candidate originally supported by JStreet because she “supported a 2 state solution.” After primaries, she declared she supports BDS and the end of Israel. pic.twitter.com/Z6V6sGMW40
