John,
The attacks on Rashida Tlaib haven’t slowed down — in fact, they’re worsening.
Right-wing extremist Marjorie Taylor Greene just reintroduced her resolution to censure Rashida, making another attempt to formally punish the only Palestinian American in Congress for standing up for human rights.
MTG — the same woman who’s notorious for her anti-Semitic, white supremacist comments and conspiracy theories while cozying up to actual Neo-Nazis and insurrectionists — is hoping to succeed in censuring Rashida this time with help from BOTH sides of the aisle.
And this time, she might. Members of Congress and even Senators from both the GOP and Democratic establishment — including Senators Marsha Blackburn and Jacky Rosen — have ramped up their hateful rhetoric condemning Rashida.
Instead of defending their fellow Democrat who’s done nothing but call for peace, moderate Democrats are joining Republicans in fanning the flames of this malicious censure attempt as well as the violence and death threats against her.
Democrats should be focused on working together to save lives, not to silence one of the few Muslims and the only Palestinian American in Congress for her courage to demand a ceasefire.
— Justice Democrats
Do not worry if you cannot afford to make a contribution — we understand that this is a difficult time. There are other ways to make an impact in support of peace and equality in Israel and Palestine: please urge your member of Congress to support a ceasefire through Adalah Justice Project’s petition or by calling them using Jewish Voice for Peace’s dialer here. Your voice matters in this critical moment. |
