Tlaib&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rashida-tlaib-asks-supporters-to-chip-in-so-she-can-host-more-anti-semitic-events\/\" title=\"Tlaib seeks funds for more anti-Semitic events.\">fundraising pitch references<\/a> the event and boasts about her ability to hold it, even after it was initially canceled by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.).<\/p>\n<h3>Fundraising Pitch<\/h3>\n<p>In the fundraising email to her supporters, Tlaib pledges to confront &#8220;Israel&#8217;s apartheid regime&#8221; and work to cut off the billions of dollars the United States allocates to protect Israel from terrorism. She asks supporters to &#8220;chip in&#8221; so that she can &#8220;stand up to U.S. and Israeli attempts to silence and erase Palestinians.&#8221; Tlaib also claims she faces &#8220;constant targeting and bullying by extremists in Congress.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Anti-Israel Groups<\/h3>\n<p>Tlaib was joined at the event by a cadre of anti-Israel groups that have defended terrorism and support the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-campus-anti-semitism-skyrockets-even-as-coronavirus-forces-remote-learning\/\" title=\"Report: Campus Anti-Semitism Skyrockets Even as Coronavirus Forces Remote Learning\">wages economic warfare<\/a> on the world&#8217;s only Jewish state. Among them was Jewish Voice for Peace, a &#8220;radical anti-Israel activist group&#8221; that backs BDS and has come under fire for glorifying Palestinian terrorism. Emgage Action, another BDS supporter that claims Israel is an &#8220;apartheid state,&#8221; and Americans for Justice in Palestine Action, an advocacy group that claims Jewish money is infecting politics, also sponsored the event.<\/p>\n<h3>Condemnation<\/h3>\n<p>Jewish and pro-Israel advocacy groups denounced Tlaib&#8217;s event and called on leaders in both parties to issue a condemnation. While McCarthy stepped forward after receiving a letter from the Coalition for Jewish Values, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/amazon-pressed-to-pull-anti-semitic-film-in-wake-of-kyrie-irving-scandal\/\" title=\"Amazon Pressed To Pull Anti-Semitic Film in Wake of Kyrie Irving Scandal\">advocacy group composed<\/a> of several thousand rabbis, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) and Democratic House leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) dodged questions about the event. Schumer also took heat from Senate Republicans.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>Tlaib&#8217;s controversial event and fundraising pitch have sparked outrage and condemnation from Jewish and pro-Israel advocacy groups, as well as Senate Republicans. The event and Tlaib&#8217;s rhetoric have been criticized for promoting anti-Semitism and spreading hate against Jewish Americans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is using her recent anti-Semitic event to raise funds, claiming she needs the money to fight against &#8220;Israel&#8217;s apartheid regime.&#8221; Her fundraising pitch refers to her controversial push to host an event mourning Israel&#8217;s creation as a &#8220;catastrophe.&#8221; Tlaib boasts about her ability to hold the government accountable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":117,"featured_media":1931350,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[5977,7500,4543,3814,5420],"class_list":["post-1931349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon","tag-anti-semitic","tag-events","tag-funds","tag-seeks","tag-tlaib"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1931349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/117"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1931349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1931349\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1931350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1931349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1931349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1931349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
