Rashida Tlaib's anti-Semitic 'facts' do not comport with reality: gets instant fact check

Hamasshole fangirl, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) called Israel an "apartheid state" in a tweet that got more blowback than Eric Swalwell's shorts.

"Speaker McCarthy wants to rewrite history but the apartheid state of Israel was born out of violence and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians," Tlaib tweeted on Monday. "75 years later, the Nakba continues to this day."

Tlaib's tweet was in response to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's post noting the "special relationship" between Israel and the U.S. The Jew hating congresswoman was instantly fact checked by Twitter with several errors pointed out.

The first fact check points out that Israel was created by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181, linking to the document at the U.N.'s official website. The so-called "ethnic cleansing" that Tlaib claimed happened "affected both Jewish and Arab communities caught up in the war initiated by 5 Arab states who opposed the existence of Israel." 

The Twitter fact check linked to the State Department's official history of the Arab-Israeli War of 1948 to emphasize that point.

The last fact check note showed that Israel has over 20% Arab citizens which have "full and equal rights," linking to a Democracy Institute study that found the country's Arab residents had declining rates of infant mortality and rising life expectancies. [In fact, Arabs are fully represented in the Knesset, unlike Palestine where Jews are not allowed to live and will be killed if they make a wrong turn on the road.]

Twitter's "Community Notes" system has been expanded by platform owner Elon Musk. He announced in April that there would be "no exceptions" to fact checks for those who post "materially false statements on this platform." He included heads of state and even himself under the system.

The fact check of Tlaib, a progressive member of the "squad" comes after conservatives have long shown that social media companies target and censor conservative views with arbitrary fact checks and bans, including a ban on former President Trump, something that is evidently changing at Twitter under the leadership of Musk. The concept of free speech seems to scare the heck out of the left.

Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, argued that Tlaib was "a bit off" with her so called facts.

Hitler and the Grand Mufti

"You’re a bit off on this congresswoman," Friedman posted on Twitter. "Actually, the State of Israel was born notwithstanding the unsuccessful Palestinian attempts at ethnic cleansing to remove the Jews, through acts of terror and collaboration with Hitler (whose dear friend was Grand Mufti of Jerusalem)."

Tlaib's office has yet to respond to the blowback the blowhard produced.
