Rashida Tlaib embraces trutherism on Gaza hospital blast


Rep. Rashida Tlaib has finally moved to a full-on, open embrace of Jew-hatred. 

The Michigan Democrat is now pushing 9/11-truther-style conspiracy theories around the rocket strike on Gaza’s Al-Ahli Hospital.  

“I cannot uncritically accept Israel’s denials of responsibility as fact,” she announced in endorsing an “independent investigation.”

That’s despite copious, incontrovertible evidence exonerating the Jewish state to the point where even institutionally anti-Israel media orgs like the New York Times and the Associated Press have come around to the truth. 

Including an audio tape of Hamas operatives openly admitting the rocket came from Islamic Jihad, another terror cadre operating from Gaza. 

Tlaib went all-in on the fake hospital bombing story from the get-go. 

Even after evidence quickly emerged that the rocket was a Palestinian terror attack gone wrong and that Hamas’ claims of 500 casualties were erroneous, Tlaib took to a podium before a Capitol crowd of demonstrators and screeched that Israel was somehow still responsible.

And now, when there’s not the flimsiest shred of a “fog of war” excuse left for her, she’s sticking to her blood libel. 

You’d think, given her public advocacy for the Palestinian cause, Tlaib might be a little more disturbed by an Iran-backed Islamist terror group slaughtering dozens of the people she claims to fight for as they congregated in a hospital parking lot.

She might even demand an “independent investigation” of Islamic Jihad, Gaza’s Hamas government, and every other Palestinian institution responsible for the catastrophe. 

That she seems utterly unperturbed by the truth here reveals what her real motives are: slandering Israel and undermining its legitimacy, facts be damned.

A motive shared by fellow “Squad” members like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and others. 

The tragic aftermath of the Hamas attacks will echo down the years in Israel and throughout the global Jewish community. 

But Hamas did perform one real service: revealing just how many morally deficient useful idiots the US hosts.
