Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) shared a misleading poll on Wednesday that claimed 47% of Israelis believe Israeli soldiers have the right to rape Palestinians. She later deleted her repost, which originated from a now-removed post by Palestinian American activist Noura Erakat. The poll was manipulated; the original question asked whether Israelis thought their government had capitulated to terrorist supporters. Yashar Ali pointed out that Tlaib had retweeted an altered image of the poll, clarifying that it did not reflect the actual question posed in the survey. Erakat, who teaches at Rutgers University, commented on societal attitudes towards violence and later expressed regret for sharing the misleading information without verification, stating that Tlaib trusted her judgment. An Anti-Defamation League representative criticized Tlaib for spreading false narratives about Israel and emphasized that misinformation can spread rapidly on social media platforms. Israel has faced significant backlash for its military actions in Gaza against Hamas, and Tlaib has been a vocal opponent of these operations as part of her role in Congress as a member of the progressive &#8220;Squad.&#8221; While some members critical of Israel have lost their Democratic primaries due to substantial funding from pro-Israel groups for their opponents, Tlaib ran unopposed in her primary election<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2321494,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/AP24129752082130.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[7380,37600,4671,37601,5420],"class_list":["post-2321493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-misinformation","tag-fake-poll","tag-israel","tag-palestinian-rights","tag-tlaib"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/AP24129752082130.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2321493","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\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2321493"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2321493\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2321494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2321493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2321493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2321493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
