WELL, THAT’S WHO THEY ARE, THAT’S WHAT THEY DO: Rashida Tlaib Lies About Her Grandmother So She Can Blame Israel. “Congresswoman Tlaib is lying. Grandma Tlaib is a resident of the Palestinian Arab village of Beit Ur al-Fauqa. The Israeli occupation of that village ended in 1995. It has been governed by the Palestinian Authority (PA), not Israel, for the past 24 years. For the congresswoman to claim that her grandmother is ‘occupied’ by the Israelis — and therefore a victim of persecution and an eyewitness to Israeli ‘human rights violations’ — is simply a lie.”
