An 8-year-old boy goes outside for shopping. On the way, he tragically slips and drowns in a pool of rainwater, where he is found dead the following day. Some observers accuse Jews — without any evidence — of having murdered the boy. Leaders echo the charge, and locals march toward a nearby Jewish neighborhood seeking “vengeance.”
...
The rumors of kidnap and murder spread on social media. A Twitter account named “Real Seif Bitar” tweeted that Abu Ramila was “kidnapped and executed” by a “herd of violent Israeli settlers,” who assaulted him and threw his body in a well. Palestinian politician Hanan Ashrawi retweeted these allegations, adding, “The heart just shatters, the pain is unbearable, no words.”
And then, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) retweeted Ashrawi, sharing the vicious lies with her nearly 1 million followers.
Of course, mistakes happen. Once authorities concluded the boy had likely slipped and drowned, Ashrawi apologized, saying a kidnapping was “not certain.” Tlaib later deleted her retweet.
But she never apologized, and despite her self-serving acknowledgement a few days later, her followers may still think Jews murdered Abu Ramila.
And this wasn’t the first time Tlaib flirted with blood libel and other forms of anti-Semitism. Last year, for example, Tlaib tweeted that Israel “unjustly oppresses and targets” Palestinian children following a barrage of Palestinian rocket attacks against Israeli civilians.
Two months later, she compared Israel to Nazi Germany, which itself is a form of anti-Semitism under a definition adopted by many Western governments. In August, she declined to participate in a popular trip to Israel for members of Congress, opting instead to take one with a Palestinian NGO that itself pushes blood libels; the trip never came to fruition because Israel barred her from entry.

Apologize? Why would she. Could have happened, and as both a palestinian and an antisemitie, it's important to keep these things front and center. She's certainly not going to thank the Israelis who tried to save the boy. Anyway, who's going to criticize her for antisemitice comments, surely not her fellow democrats. And who cares what a bunch of deplorables think. As Bernie's aide said, they belong in reeducation camps.
I saw it! The Jooos! grabbed him and hooked him up to machines in a big car with a red star on it. One of them kept pushing on his chest as another put a tank with a cup at the end over his face. They stole his breath and beat him to death! Then they took two paddles against his chest and ran electricity through it and yelled “Clear!” as his body jumped./s
