The weekend’s fawning feature is about Rashida Tlaib—or more specifically, about the righteousness of Rashida Tlaib’s anti-Israel dogmas. It follows just a few months after the paper printed another flattering story about an anti-Israel (and anti-Jewish) activist, Gaza poetry professor Refaat Alareer.

The premise of the earlier piece was, commendably, retracted with an editors’ note acknowledging failures in reporting. (Alareer was feted as a bridge-builder, though he is a hatemonger.)

The new piece, which was published online on Thursday and is slated to appear in print in this weekend’s Sunday Magazine under the headline “What Rashida Tlaib Represents,” will get no such sweeping correction. That’s because author Rozina Ali was honest — not on the details of the conflict, but at least about the essence of Tlaib’s extreme positions.

Tlaib seeks an end to Israel. Ali more or less admits it. Tlaib is unhappy about Israel’s life-saving anti-rocket system, the Iron Dome. Ali doesn’t deny it. Indeed, to conceal these beliefs would be counterproductive, since the core premise of the piece is that they are noble positions.

In promoting that conclusion Ali plays tricks on her readers, with the tendentious characterizations starting at the very first sentence: “Last May,” she writes, “following protests in East Jerusalem over planned evictions of Palestinians, Hamas started firing rockets toward Tel Aviv, and Israeli airstrikes pounded residential buildings in the Gaza Strip.”
----------
Ali, at least, does mention the criticism that followed Tlaib’s slur about American supporters of Israel having “forgot[ten] what country they represent.” But she seems to miss that this example, too, belies her claim that accusations of antisemitism follow from mere “criticism of Israeli policies.” This, after all, was an allegation of dual loyalty levelled against Americans, not a comment on Israeli behavior.

As a whole, Ali’s piece is meant as a lesson about, first, why Tlaib should be seen as a hero, and second, why Americans are allegedly receptive to her extreme anti-Israel messages.

For Ali, the answer to the first question is that Tlaib is a hero because her extreme anti-Israelism. That’s the author’s prerogative.

The second question is best answered not by the arguments in Ali’s article, but by the very existence and nature of the piece, which is more of the same from a newspaper that too-often excuses, or even lauds, attacks on Israel’s legitimacy and Jews in general.

Here is yet another story taking aim at Israel. Here are yet more distortions meant to misinform readers about the conflict. When editors make a point of defaming the Jewish state and whitewashing Palestinian contributions to the conflict, and do so again and again, it would hardly be surprising if some readers take the bait.

Arms deals with Arab countries is going to make peace?

Peace is an elusive word, especially in Arabic.

Cooperation and strong alliances
ensure stability and prosperity
but a weak ally is no less a
threat of war.

The cooperation is much wider,
only 8% of the funds are allocated to arms,
the main aspects are business and healthcare.

Omar never said that Jews have dual loyalty.

One of the individuals who refused to ignore such an egregious tweet is one of Omar’s constituent’s, Rabbi Hayim Herring.

The author and former congregational leader delivered a letter to Omar flagging specific errors that he warned amount to a “a version of the dangerous anti-Jewish ‘blood-libel’ trope.”

Herring also started a Change.org petition demanding that Omar “think before she tweets antisemitic and bigoted comments.”

“I have been frustrated, like many other Jewish constituents, with her anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, and anti-other minority comments,” said Herring, according to a report by a Twin Cities area Jewish community website called TC Jewfolk. “I think that you can’t just tweet and get away with things. I decided I can’t sit idly by.”

‘Trifecta of Lies’​

Herring continued, “So if we break it apart, what she’s saying is, members of the Israeli establishment planned a premeditated murder. About the $3.8 billion in military aid with no restrictions: if you’re on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and you don’t know that most of that has to be reinvested here, then you don’t deserve to be on the Foreign Affairs Committee.

“And here we go with human rights violations. Well, let’s talk about the fact that Israeli human rights were being violated by terrorists. So it was that trifecta of lies,” Herring added.

Herring highlighted the fact that Omar accused Israel of killing the journalist before “a verifiable forensic or international investigation was completed” into Abu-Akleh’s death.

Omar tweeted the comments after CNN and AP published reports spreading accusations that Israel targeted journalists. As a result, CNN’s journalistic ethics and standards have been questioned by several media watchdogs. CNN relied almost entirely on biased so-called “witnesses,” several of whom supported the murder of innocent Israelis in coldblooded terror attacks.

CNN’s star forensics expert, Chris Cobb-Smith, was also exposed as an advisor to the London-based Forensic Architecture, which HonestReporting noted has “produced numerous pseudo-scientific investigations into Israel that have reached provenly biased and misleading conclusions.”
