Notoriously anti-Israel Rep. Rashida Tlaib has come under fire for sharing a fake poll on social media that claimed 47% of Israelis believe IDF soldiers have a right to molest Palestinians. The doctored image was originally posted by Noura Erakat, who later admitted it was fake.
The manipulated poll was based on a real N12 poll from 2022, but Erakat altered the title to suggest that nearly half of Israelis support such abhorrent actions. Tlaib shared the post, contributing to the spread of anti-Israel propaganda, before deleting it after being called out by American journalist Yasher Ali.
Erakat took responsibility for the mistake, stating that she should have cross-checked the information before posting. However, she also defended her actions, citing a video of a Palestinian detainee being assaulted and a Knesset debate on the topic as reasons why she believed the poll to be true.

they don’t even bother to call it an “apology” anymore. because they believe they are superior beings, and therefore infallible.
What. Proofreading, checking sources?! No one foes this anymore! Hating Jews is so in!!! And Dearbornistan’s Tliab is still in Washington DC.
It’s unfathomable that she can get away with such ridiculous rhetoric which is certainly likely to cause real harm. Why isn’t this called incitement, which is illegal,
and why aren’t members of congress obligated to a higher standard? It’s incomprehensible!
Machasheifah, in all her glory…worse than a clown, plus a pathetic joke
