A shocking report by the Jewish Telegraph Agency (JTA) revealed in early August that "wealthy American Jews in Detroit," the largest city in Michigan, They gathered and pledged to put their resources, their strength and their influence to defeat the democratic (Palestinian-born) Rachida Tlaib, of whom 13 are the constituency, an African-American-majority constituency.
Ron Kampeas, a journalist with the Jewish Telegraph Agency, who was interviewed by the Detroit Jewish Federation to explore the views and agenda of American Jews in the region, said after a Democratic debate on July 30 and 31, 2019 The Jewish force in the Detroit area two weeks ago (on the sidelines of the democratic debates on July 30 and 31), a prominent Jewish organization arranged a meeting with me, pledging to raise funds to get rid of Rep. Taleb because she supports the boycott of Israel BDS.
"Although Taleb is a colorful Muslim and Palestinian-American woman," he said, "the comments at the meeting included ambiguous language about racial categorization. One of the respondents said," The blacker the skin of a competitor, the more right (better). " To the skin of MP Tleib compared to the population of the region it represents.
“This kind of hatred never works when the truth is on our side. Palestinians are deprived of humanity. I say to those who want to suppress the truth by trying to discredit me. My grandmother (in the occupied West Bank) taught me that in the past, everyone in Palestine lived side by side in peace and that is what I will strive for. ”
"We in this society will oppose with all our energy Rachida Tlaib," Campias attributes Lisa Liz, a wealthy Jewish activist who donates generous money, especially pro-Israel.
Campias revealed that those present at the meeting hinted that there was already contact with Brenda Jones, the Detroit City Councilwoman, whom Tlaib defeated in the primaries last summer, to urge her to fight the next campaign against Tlaib in the next primary (summer 2020). "People loyal to Israel were wasting money to target Taleb."
Taleb is one of only two members of the House of Representatives who support the BDS movement, along with a Democratic, Somali-born Minnesota lawmaker, and Taleb is the only one to support a one-ethnic, two-state solution that includes Palestinians and Israelis.
"Pro-Israel money is rarely directed against those who will win, no doubt, because the loss will embarrass pro-Israel groups," Campias explains. The thinking in the room was that African-Americans in Taleb´s 13th District would rally around one candidate - probably Brenda Jones - and that this candidate would have the support of those who support Israel.
But the targeting of Tlaib is not a common denominator among the Jews of the Detroit area. With the support of Jewish youth. "
"It is not about Rachida, but about social justice issues, such as access to clean water, access, workers´ rights," Rabbi Albert said.
"This is about Jews who are making alliances with colorful (non-white) communities, and don´t want to focus on other issues. This electoral sector agrees with Rachid Tolib, 80-90%, and a member of Congress (Tolib), supported by young people," he said. The Jews who are returning to Detroit from the suburbs now, and we will lose the next generation of Jews (if the fight against Talaib). The belief that we will spend our efforts to defeat Talaib is confusing and disturbs the core issues. "
Palestinian lawmaker Rachida Tlaib is subjected to a distorted campaign by all fronts of the Israeli lobby, especially AIPAC. .
