Rashida Tlaib shares fake poll that Israelis approve of rape in Palestine

While one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress was fighting for her right to party in a Minneapolis bar, the other half of that equation was sharing a fake poll online to dehumanize Israelis.

US Rep. Rashid Tlaib (D-MI) re-released a rigged poll showing 47 percent of Israelis believed soldiers should be allowed to rape Palestinians; the great irony here is that the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas has a history of weaponizing rape as part of it. of his campaign of terror against the Jewish State.

The Democratic lawmaker would seek to have the post deleted when it was revealed that the authentic survey question, which is in Hebrew, asked whether respondents thought the government had surrendered to the terrorist's supporters.

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib retweeted the leftist tweet containing a digitally altered image.

That is NOT what the survey question was.

The poll question was, do you think the government has surrendered to the terrorist's supporters?

The original post was by Noura Erakat, an American Palestinian activist who, not surprisingly, is an associate professor at Rutgers University.

Erakat was quick to defend Tlaib, posting on X: “Representative Tlaib trusted me and posted this [without] Cross checking was my mistake. But I'm sure you understand how this poll could be considered true in light of the video of the gang-rape of a Palestinian detainee and the public debate in the Knesset + whether such rape should be okay.”

The latest reference was to a video leaked by an Israeli media outlet showing an alleged gang-rape of a Palestinian detainee, a man in his thirties, by Israeli soldiers in the Sde Teiman detention camp.

Tlaib, who has a history of anti-Semitic actions, is known for sharing pro-Hamas talking points that have little basis in fact.

“It is completely unacceptable that Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib would spread false and inflammatory stories about Israel,” said a spokesman for the Anti-Defamation League. Washington Examiner. “Although Tlaib later deleted his post sharing this photoshopped survey image, the damage had already been done. Lies and misinformation spread like wildfire on social media: Members of the Congress shouldn't be promoting false and harmful misinformation, they should be fighting it.”

Here's a quick sampling of responses to the story, which focused on both Rutgers and Tlaib, as seen on X:

Now we make a survey questioning whether Noura and @RashidaTlaib he should be punished for spreading false information and incitement, where are you? @elonmusk?

Tlaib is terrible for the Palestinians, because people assume she is their representative.
