U.S. Rep. Tlaib dons shirt of Israel replaced with Palestinian state

(JNS) Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) has been seen wearing a t-shirt of the State of Israel replaced with a Palestinian state. “Stand in solidarity with Palestine by wearing this beautiful Palestinian tee-shirt,” reads an online purchasing description about the shirt. “An outlined map of Palestine is filled with red, white and green Arabic letters that look stunning from a distance and spell the word Palestine up close. A patterned shemagh wraps around the neck of the Palestinian state like the brave soldiers whose boots stand on the dusty ground.”

Republican Jewish Coalition spokesperson Neil Strauss told JNS, “Her tee shirt shows her sup-port for wiping Israel, and it’s nearly 7 million Jews, off the face of the earth. Her antisemitism knows no bounds.” The Jewish Democratic Coalition of America did not respond to a request for comment. In the same photo, she is also shown displaying the newly released book by Linda Sarsour, who was removed from the leadership of the Women’s March movement for her anti-semitic, anti-Israel rhetoric.
