Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) on Monday over inflammatory and false statements that she has made in recent days about escalating Palestinian terrorist attacks directed toward Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Erdan\u2019s remarks came after Tlaib promoted a debunked story that claimed that accused Israeli settlers of burning Palestinian land. \u201cStealing Palestinian homes and burning their lands,\u201d she claimed without evidence. \u201cThe actions of an apartheid state. We cannot stand by and watch this happen. @SecBlinken, billions of U.S. taxpayers dollars support Netanyahu\u2019s government and this racist violence. We must condemn this swiftly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tlaib then tweeted a link to a foreign publication that has alleged ties to an extremist group, the Jewish Journal <a href=\"https:\/\/jewishjournal.com\/news\/336321\/tlaib-criticized-for-tweeting-retracted-story-of-israeli-settlers-burning-palestinian-land\/\">reported<\/a>. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/arab-israeli-conflict\/settlers-to-sue-btselem-for-alleging-they-set-palestinian-fields-ablaze-667300\">told<\/a> The Jerusalem Post that it had evidence that Palestinians started the fires and that when the Israeli settlers arrived to put out the fires that a fight broke out.<\/p>\n<p>The American Jewish Committee responded by writing: \u201c.@RashidaTlaib , you shared a falsehood about Israeli Jews setting fire to Palestinian fields. This ugly claim has been retracted. You\u2019re a member of Congress. Take down your tweet.
