The Palestinian Terrorist Bitch Rashida Tlaib

That most honest and upright of Congresswomen, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Jihad), gained still more notoriety when, according to the Times of Israel, she “retweeted then removed a tweet falsely blaming Israelis for the death of a Palestinian child.” Tlaib “retweeted a tweet by Hanan Ashrawi, a top Palestinian official, who was quote-tweeting an account, realSeifBitar, that accused Israeli settlers of kidnapping, assaulting and throwing into a well an eight-year-old child.” It was all in a day’s work for the Palestinian atrocity factory.

When it became clear that the child had drowned, rather than being killed by murderous Zionists, Ashrawi published a retraction. Although she took down her initial retweet, Tlaib didn’t retweet the retraction. Tlaib has nearly 900,000 followers on Twitter. Hundreds of thousands likely saw her initial tweet before she took it down. Mission accomplished.

This deception is standard practice for adherents of the Palestinian cause. Israelly Cool reported Wednesday that a supporter of the Palestinian jihad against Israel, Sarah Hassan, recently posted a photo on Twitter of a boy crouched beneath a cart, surrounded by snow, trying to keep warm. “Gaza…poverty…cold!” wrote Hassan, but IsraellyCool noted that “never got lower than 6 degrees Celcius [sic] in Gaza over that time period” – that is, 43 degrees Fahrenheit, so there couldn’t have been snow piled up everywhere.

What’s more, the photo doesn’t really come from Gaza at all; it was taken in Afghanistan in 2006. A cornerstone of the Palestinian cause in the court of world opinion is projection and deception on a massive scale. Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, declared: “War is deceit.” (Bukhari, vol. 4, book 56, no. 3030) He also elucidated the conditions under which deceit was permissible: “It is not lawful to lie except in three cases: Something the man tells his wife to please her, to lie during war, and to lie in order to bring peace between the people.”

As The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process demonstrates, Palestinian leaders have refined lying during war into a fine art. Palestinian spokesmen set out to portray Israel as an outrageously repressive regime, routinely committing atrocities against the Palestinian people, who deserved aid from the international community as much as the Israelis warranted condemnation.

This initiative, too, has been wildly successful. The United Nations condemns Israel far more often than any other nation; many of these condemnations have been based on reports about Israeli atrocities that were entirely fabricated. World opinion has largely turned against Israel as well, as it has an international reputation today of being one of the world’s most unjust and repressive regimes. There is much more.
