The mounting tide of leftist anti-Semitism just keeps surging higher and higher. While leftist anti-Semitism has so far, perhaps, reached its highest peak in Britain, with the odious Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader, other Western democracies are not far behind.
In the US, the Democrat party is fast succumbing to the lure of Jew-hating, especially in the personage of the hydra-headed beast known as “The Squad”. This is the term used to describe the four neophyte Congresswomen, all far-leftists, three Muslim, who are collectively notorious for their anti-Semitic jibes.
They’re at it again.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) slammed Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., for sharing “blood libel” on social media that wrongfully claimed that Israelis were responsible for the death of a young Palestinian boy.
Over the weekend, Palestine Liberation Organization committee member Dr. Hanan Ashrawi shared an unverified tweet that alleged a 7-year-old Palestinian child was “kidnapped and executed” by Israeli settlers and was “assaulted and thrown in a water well.”
“The heart just shatters. The pain is unbearable. No words,” Ashrawi reacted to the tweet.
That post was retweeted by Tlaib, exposing it to the congresswoman’s roughly 900,000 Twitter followers.
There’s a big problem, though: it’s a complete lie.
However, it was reported in The Jerusalem Post that the boy’s death was an accidental drowning after the area was hit with heavy rain.
Ashrawi eventually deleted the tweet and offered an apology on Sunday.
“My apologies for retweeting something that’s not fully verified. It seems that the news of his being kidnapped is not certain,” Ashrawi said.

Except that that’s not even an apology. Note the doublespeak: Ashrawi refuses to actually admit that she perpetuated a grievous, anti-Jewish lie.
Don’t expect an apology from Tlaib, either.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., walked back a controversial retweet spreading “blood libel” against Israel…vowing to “strive” for higher standards when it comes to sharing information on social media, but she fell short of apologizing for the error.

Tlaib might also want to explain what she’s doing, following a leader of an organisation notorious for terrorist violence, and dedicated to the destruction of the Jewish state.
The Democrats also need to explain why their Congressional stars are repeatedly entangled with anti-Semitism.
The Squad hates this country; their only political motivation is to destroy it…As the Democrats stand with the Squad, they stand against America. Their words might appeal to the Democratic base, but to those who love this country, their words grate on the sensitivities of what we are, not just as a country but also as a civilization.
