#Rashida Tlaib listed on event by controversial Palestinian activist

Rep. Rashida Tlaib took part in an event with a pro-Palestine activist who she distanced herself from two years ago when it surfaced he’d shared a video referencing “Satanic” Jews.

Tlaib was shown in a screenshot of a virtual event and listed on a flyer posted on Instagram by activist Maher Abdel-qader in March.

Abdel-qader called the event, held for Viriginia lieutenant governor candidate Sam Rasoul, great and successful and said the Michigan congresswoman “provided a solidarity message.” The flyer listed suggested donation levels between $100 and $5,000.

The activist, one of several listed hosts, had come under fire in 2019 when the site The Daily Caller outlined his connections to Tlaib, who followed Abdel-qader’s Facebook group called “Palestinian American Congress.”

He was found to have shared since-deleted posts on his page that had anti-Semitic content including a video that said Jews controlled the media and another that said Jews in Israel were not “real Jews.”

He later apologized for sharing the videos.

Tlaib’s office didn’t return a call from The Post. In 2019, The New York Times asked her about her relationship with Abdel-qader.

“It is unfair to be held responsible for the statements of others, especially when my actions — including votes as a Michigan legislator and leading the Take On Hate campaign — make clear that I oppose all forms of hate and condemn those who dehumanize others,” she said in a letter to the Times.

The posts about the recent fundraiser came to light as Tlaib has made headlines over her encounter with President Biden at a Detroit airport on Tuesday.

The Palestinian-American congresswoman and member of “The Squad” pushed the president in a conversation on the tarmac to take a stronger stance on Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as violence continued in the Gaza Strip.

“Palestinian human rights are not a bargaining chip and must be protected, not negotiated,” the aide told NPR.
