The campaign&#8217;s website accuses Israel of &#8220;apartheid,&#8221; &#8220;ethnic \u2064cleansing,&#8221; and &#8220;genocide.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It is anti-American and even treasonous for Tlaib to speak at a USCPR conference that falsely \u200ccondemns America\u2063 as an\u2064 &#8216;imperialist,&#8217;\u2064 and \u200baims to &#8216;mobilize action&#8217; against \u2063America, Israel,\u2062 Jews, and Jews on American college campuses,&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; President Morton Klein, Zionist Organization of \u2062America<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>President Morton Klein\u200c of the Zionist Organization of America has \u2062called on the Democratic Party leadership \u2063to publicly condemn Tlaib and demand\u200b that she not\u200b speak at this \u200bconference, which he describes as anti-American and anti-Semitic.<\/p>\n<p>This news \u2063comes \u2062as\u200d Tlaib faces increased criticism \u200dfrom both \u2064Republicans and\u200d fellow Democrats \u2062for her anti-Israel positions. In May, Permanent Israel\u2063 Representative to the United Nations Gilad Erdan \u200baccused Tlaib of &#8220;ignorance and hatred toward the Jewish people\u200d and the state of Israel&#8221; after\u200b she posted on social media\u2063 about the &#8220;apartheid state \u2063of Israel&#8221; being born out of violence and ethnic cleansing.<\/p>\n<p>Last September, many \u2062House Democrats, including Representatives \u2063Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Elaine Luria, Jerry Nadler, and Ritchie Torres, condemned Tlaib for alleging that &#8220;Israel&#8217;s apartheid government&#8221; \u2064does not align with &#8220;progressive \u2063values.&#8221; Tlaib also joined other left-leaning Democrats in \u200bboycotting Israeli President Isaac Herzog&#8217;s joint address to Congress, labeling Israel as &#8220;an\u2064 apartheid state.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>USCPR, which raises funds through its U.S. charity called \u200bEducation for Just \u2063Peace\u2062 in the Middle East, has consistently criticized Israel&#8217;s efforts to combat terrorism. In \u2063August 2022,\u2062 USCPR signed a statement opposing Israel&#8217;s\u200b designation of six Palestinian groups as proxies for the U.S.-designated terror \u2064organization, the \u200dPopular Front for\u200b the Liberation \u2064of\u200c Palestine.<\/p>\n<p>The BDS National Committee, sponsored by USCPR, includes \u200bthe Council of National\u200c and Islamic Forces in Palestine, which has members affiliated with U.S.-designated terror groups such as the Popular Front, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and\u200b Palestinian Liberation Front, according to \u2062various sources.<\/p>\n<p>Jeffrey \u200bBerk, head of the pro-Israel advocacy group\u2064 TruthTells, finds it &#8220;incomprehensible&#8221; that Tlaib would associate herself \u200cwith USCPR\u200b and calls for\u2064 her to be \u2064censured.<\/p>\n<p>The conference will be held at the Hilton Houston\u200c Post Oak by the Galleria, a 4-star hotel, with \u200dregular admission costing $225 per ticket. Notably, the hotel is located just five miles from Congregation Beth Yeshurun, a conservative synagogue serving 2,000 families.<\/p>\n<p>Other speakers at the USCPR conference include liberal activist Marc Lamont Hill, lawyer Diala Shamas, and Nida Abubaker, the daughter of Shukri Abu Baker.<\/p>\n<p>Shukri Abu Baker, who incorporated \u2064the Holy Land Foundation, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-democrat-rashida-tlaib-to-speak-at-major-anti-israel-conference-treasonous\/\" title=\"Rashida Tlaib, House Democrat, to address significant anti-Israel event: 'Treasonous'\">defunct nonprofit group \u2063shut<\/a> down by the U.S. \u200cgovernment in 2001 for funding the terror group Hamas, \u2064was sentenced to \u206365 years in prison in 2009 for conspiracy to\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-announces-new-legal-team-for-impeachment-defense-after-previous-team-collapsed\/\" title=\"Trump Announces New Legal Team For Impeachment Defense After Previous Team Collapsed\">provide material support<\/a> to a designated foreign \u200bterrorist organization.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Seize the Moment!
