At a panel on anti-Semitism, four speakers known for their outspoken criticism of Israel including Rep. Rashida Tlaib said that they themselves do not hate Jews.
Tell everybody, I dont hate you. I absolutely love you, said Tlaib, a Palestinian American and Democrat from Michigan who supports the movement to boycott Israel. If anybody comes through my doors or through any forum to try to push anti-Semitism forward, you will hear me being loud with my bullhorn to tell them to get the hell out.
The panel had sparked substantial criticism from Jewish commentators and pro-Israel activists when it was announced, both for giving anti-Zionists a platform to discuss anti-Semitism and for being majority non-Jewish. Bari Weiss, the former New York Times opinion writer and editor, tweeted, So dismantling antisemitism is actually about dismantling *accusations* of antisemitism.
An all-Jewish panel with a similar title, called Dismantling Anti-Semitism: Jews Talk Justice, is being hosted the night after by the Combat Anti-Semitism Movement, a coalition of nearly 300 groups, most of them Jewish.

And she's a foul anti-Semite who does us no favors having her nominally on "our side".
Lots of bad people have had "D"s next to their name: David Duke comes to mind.
