Rashida Tlaib retweets unverified claim Israelis killed Palestinian boy | |
2020-01-26 | |
[Jpost] The tweet claimed that the boy was kidnapped by "Israeli settlers, assaulted and thrown in a water well" US Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib
A Twitter account called "Real Seif Bitar" tweeted that the boy had been kidnapped and executed and showed a video of the boy’s body being found by emergency services. The tweet claimed that the boy was kidnapped by "Israeli settlers, assaulted and thrown in a water well, was found this morning frozen to death in Beit Hanina, Jerusalem after Israeli forces assaulted search teams." Paleostinian politician Hanan Ashrawi re-tweeted the allegation and added "the heart just shatters, the pain is unbearable, no words." Congresswoman Tlaib then retweeted the Ashrawi tweet that included the allegations. However Ashrawi apologized for her tweet. "My apologizes for re-tweeting something that’s not fully verified. It seems that the news of his being kidnapped is not certain." She also tweeted other clarifications and then appeared to delete the tweet. Tlaib’s retweet was also was thereafter deleted but she did not apologize for spreading the false information. The tweet accusing Israelis of kidnapping and murder and which actually shows the boy’s body being taken from the cistern by medical personnel has now been viewed 125,000 times. It has led to an outpouring of incitement against Israel. George Galloway ... a British national embarrassment, not particularly honest, more fond of dictators and terrorists than he is of his native countrymen except at the peak of the election cycle ... , the UK politician, wrote "there are no words which can fully convey the evil of this story." Many noted that Tlaib had erred in re-tweeting the false story. Arsen Ostrovsky wrote "seriously Rashida Tlaib?...this was a tragic case of a child who went missing and fell into a pool of rainwater, have you no shame in reposting these lies?" Many compared it to a modern day blood libel. | |

#3 ^A derangement that spread them from a small tribe of goat-f*ckers to control of a 1/4 of Earth. It's like Nazis winning WWII. |
