Rashida Tlaib Named 'Antisemite of the Year' by StopAntisemitism

The congresswoman faced backlash for her comments on Israel, including incorrect accusations and defense of a controversial chant.

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has been named 2023’s 'Antisemite of the Year' by the nonprofit watchdog StopAntisemitism, beating out Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and model Gigi Hadid.
Tlaib faced backlash for incorrectly accusing the Israel Defense Forces of bombing a Gaza hospital, despite evidence showing it was actually struck by a misfired Palestinian Islamic Jihad missile.
Tlaib also accused President Biden of supporting the 'genocide' of Palestinians and defended protesters chanting, 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,' a phrase interpreted by some as a call for the elimination of the state of Israel.
For her defense of the chant, Tlaib was censured by the House of Representatives, with 22 of her fellow Democrats voting with 212 Republicans to do so.
Tlaib is part of a hidden Facebook group that has praised the Hamas jihadists who kidnapped and killed hundreds of civilians in Israel.
