'That's antisemitism, and I reject that!' Dem Rep. Ted Deutch unleashes hell after Rashida Tlaib rails against Israeli 'apartheid' and 'war crimes' [video]

Democratic socialist Rep. Rashida Tlaib has made it very clear that she’s not in favor of funding for the Iron Dome.

I will not support a standalone supplemental bill of $1 billion to replenish the bombs Israel used to commit war crimes in Gaza. https://t.co/YILmG1ZmLy

— Rashida Tlaib (@RashidaTlaib) September 23, 2021

She reiterated that on the House floor today:

.@RepRashida opposing Iron Dome funding for Israel:

"I will not support an effort to enable and support war crimes, human rights abuses, and violence…Palestinians are living under a violent apartheid system…war crimes …Palestinian need for security from Israeli attacks…" pic.twitter.com/C0WG0CRXKG

And that got Democratic Rep. Ted Deutch to thinking:

Rep. Ted Deutch said he had a speech planned in support of Iron Dome, but said he instead needs to condemn Tlaib for calling Israel an "apartheid state."

And condemn it, he did:

Deutch explicitly accuses Tlaib of antisemitism.

In no uncertain terms:

.@RepTedDeutch after Rep. Tlaib:
"I cannot allow one of my colleagues to stand on floor of House and label Jewish democratic state of Israel an apartheid state…my colleague who just besmirched our ally…when there's no place on map for one Jewish state, that's anti-Semitism" pic.twitter.com/kCa5Y5W8EI

A-freakin’-men.

it's getting dimed out on the House floor folks https://t.co/xPqwSrktGG

Good. It needs to be. Rashida Tlaib and the Squad need to be named and shamed as the antisemitic bigots they are.

Finally fellow Democrats (in this case @RepTedDeutch) name @RashidaTlaib for who she really is – an antisemite who wants no any Jewish state in this world. https://t.co/LmFRdOKZYl

Pretty straightforward from here:

1) House debates resolution condemning Tlaib

2) House debates resolution condemning anti-Semitism

Several days later..

3) House debates resolution condemning all hate and Islamaphobia https://t.co/QLBm2I118Y
