    Rashida Tlaib accused of anti-Semitism for reaction to Biden’s Jewish Sec of State nominee – By Joseph A. Wulfsohn (FOX News) / Nov 23 2020

    Critics ask did she raise Israeli policy issues because of Antony Blinken’s religion

    Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., has reignited accusations of anti-Semitism in response to President-elect Biden‘s nominee to become Secretary of State.

    The Biden transition team announced on Monday that Antony Blinken, the former deputy secretary of state during the Obama administration and a foreign policy adviser for Biden, was selected to head the State Department.

    Speculation of Blinken’s nomination was fueling over the weekend, which sparked a reaction from the Michigan Democrat after former Bernie Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir called Biden’s selection a “solid choice.”

    “So long as he doesn’t suppress my First Amendment right to speak out against [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu’s racist and inhumane policies. The Palestinian people deserve equality and justice,” Tlaib wrote on Sunday night.
