No sooner had Rashida Tlaib been sworn in as a member of the 116th US Congress last January, than the daughter of Palestinian immigrants caught flak for her off-colour cry to impeach US President Donald Trump.Whether it's her relentless needling of the president, being told by MrTrump to"go back" to the"corrupt" country she came from despite being born in Michigan, or beingon Thursday by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Ms Tlaib is a political lightning rod.
Accepting that offer under Israel's"oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in - fighting against racism, oppression and injustice," she said. Rashida Tlaib votes for Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi along with her kids during the first session of the 116th Congress.Ms Tlaib is 43, the eldest of 14 children born to Palestinian immigrants. A self-described"progressive warrior," she grew up in modest means in Detroit, eventually becoming a social justice attorney.
Also that year she raised eyebrows by supporting a one-state solution, a departure from her Middle East peace stance that envisioned Israel and a Palestinian state side by side."It has to be one state. Separate but equal does not work," she told In These Times magazine.
Thankyou SBS💜
Lightning rod my arse!
You cant be serious right? She is Anti-Semitic nothing about her is worth praising
MSMWatchdog2013 Why does SBS describe Rashifa Tlaib as “fiery”? Would they describe a man in that fashion. She has a strong articulate voice.
Seriously though though, stop using my taxes to pay whomever wrote this piece. Tlaib is a known anti semetic. should be ashamed of yourselves.
And here is her partner in crime
The only reason they’re denegrating her, is because she is in a minority within Congress, and a representative of a minority within the US. Bullies only pick on someone they perceive as being weaker. Hope she proves them wrong!
SBS how about you tell the whole story. WeAreTheNewsNow
This unsigned piece praising an anti Semitic published by is unacceptable and should be investigated by the SBS Board. Is there anyone in charge there? Not even the ABC would go this far. And, interestingly, SBS piece is unsigned. Hence it is an editorial.
You misspelt idiot.
Stop lying for once and try telling the truth, after all you are a taxpayer funded organization yes? Let's start with her connections to Palestinian terrorists & Islamic extremists as well as her hate for the great nation of America. You are FakeNews & propaganda, nothing more.
More SBS propaganda. Thank goodness most Australians can see thru the one sided views of both the SBS and ABC.
This woman is one of Donald Trump’s greatest asset’s
There’s no lightning rod here. Netanyahu is a de facto Republican and is in bed with Trump and Republicans are being racist to rile up their bass. Rewrite this headline.
A political lighting rod. This woman couldn't even strike up a 9 volt charge
She chose not to visit her own grandmother to make a political statement.
Who is Rashida Tlaib? She is a clown
She is a lying taqiyya merchant whose only aim is to create jihad for the sake of koranic verses 2:16-2:18 .Only SBS is taken in by her lies .
Rashida Tlaib is a Terrorist trying to undermine Western culture and beliefs.. There ya go fixed it..
Please put your authors names on at the bottom of these articles so they can be called out for laziness and producing drivel. As it stands even the authours seem to think it is complete shit journalism so tefuse to put their names behind it.
You mean this lightning rod? Troublemaker
Whether it's lieing to the Australian people, extreme bias or using taxpayer dollars to create misinformation, SBS is a national disgrace. FakeNewsMedia EnemyOfThePeople auspol
Hang on. I thought Israel subsequently gave her permission to visit her sick grandmother, but she declined the entry permit to make her political statement. Can’t have it both ways.
Antisemitic at its worst. This is completely unacceptable We can’t continue funding this network AustralianJA
Your daily dose of anti-trump fakenews
Lol nice satire
The only reason SBS can stay woke and not be broke is because the Australian taxpayers pay for this bullshit defundsbs
Well, if both POTUS and Israel don’t want her, then it’s obvious she’s poison.
Writes for special permission to visit israel to pick figs with her grandmother. Permission is granted. She then proceeds to tear up letter allowing her in and complains about israel. Seems more like a hissy fit to me.
Hahaha, 'political lighting rod'? Who writes this hilarious drivel? Tlaib and the rest of the squad are killing the Democrats right now. They're gifting the 2020 election to Trump and the rest of the Dems can't do a thing to stop them. It's delicious to watch.
Nice way of saying she's hated by a lot of people.
Lightening Rod? I would have said thunder clap.
Orange man bad? Why are you constantly lying and defending a despicable woman with countless ties to extremist muslims, terrorists and holocaust deniers? Is this what the SBS represents now because if so, you should have every cent of your funding immediately severed.
Stop printing utter garbage
She is actually irrelevant.
The whole things was a set-up from the beginning, the Democrat party is the anti-semite party. They know they have the MSM their side so they can't away with anything. Even after all this the squad are all full on anti-semite mode.
Shes an American senator who is supposed to be working for the American people, yet, here she is and you are telling us she's working for Palestine? Something isn't right with this picture...
