A member of ‘The Squad’ is slandering the Jewish state — again

Hamas is once again launching rockets into Israel and promoting a viral social-media campaign encouraging violent assaults against Jews in the streets. And once again, a member of the congressional “Squad” thinks she has found the true culprit: the Jewish state. 

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) accused Israel of encouraging hate crimes against Palestinians, tweeting: “During the holy month of Ramadan, Palestinians are met w/ mobs of Israeli settlers calling on [sic] the ‘death of Arabs!’ The anti-Palestinian violence was not stopped by the Israeli [government]. These acts of hate is [sic] what colleagues need to see when I say Palestinians deserve human dignity.”

Rep. Tlaib of course has the right to weigh in on these issues, but as a public figure and a leading voice on the American left, she has a responsibility to get the story straight. Here’s what really happened.
