Two weeks ago, New Canary Mission outed Rashida Tlaib for having 3 members tied to Hamas for fundraising for the anti-Semitic Tlaib. The mainstream press was able to totally ignore that fact. Today, New Canary Mission has discovered three more Hamas fundraisers, taking the total to six, which includes Mwafaq Jbara, Sheikh Muhammad Qatanani, Huwaida Arraf, Salah Sarsour, Rafeeq Jaber and Abdelbaset Hamayel, during her 2018 campaign.
And still, not one mainstream outlet has acknowledged that has picked up on the scandal that Tlaib’s campaign was aided by the same people who killed thirty Americans and kidnapped another dozen or so more.
This time, they have linked six Hamas-connected activists who raised money for her first term in the House:
Canary Mission can confirm that at least 6 Hamas-linked activists fundraised for Tlaib during her 2018 Congressional campaign: Mwafaq Jbara, Sheikh Muhammad Qatanani, Huwaida Arraf, Salah Sarsour, Rafeeq Jaber and Abdelbaset Hamayel. …
Other Key Findings:
- PFLP Connections: The Black4Palestine activist group that Tlaib co-founded in 2015 worked publicly with terrorists from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) no less than 8 times from 2016 to 2020.
- Guest of Honor Linked to Terror Group: One of Rashida Tlaib’s guests for her January 2019 swearing-in was Fatah activist Mazen Dola. He is the cousin of a terrorist who lured an Israeli teenager online for a date and then murdered him in cold blood, in 2001. Two and a half years before attending Tlaib’s swearing-in, he attended the release of his cousin from an Israeli jail along with armed members of Fatah’s Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.
- Hamas-Linked Fundraiser Host: One of Tlaib’s 2018 fundraiser hosts, Mwafaq Jbara, met with a Hamas co-founder while in a maximum security Israeli jail. He called for the death of Jews and praised the terrorist who killed U.S. Army veteran Taylor Force.
- Anti-Israel representative Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) is connected to at least “six terror-linked activists who all served as cohosts for fundraisers for her 2018 congressional campaign,” according to a report from a watchdog group.Just a day after the “Squad” member was censured by the House for promoting anti-Semitism, Canary Mission—an organization that monitors Jew hatred across the country—says it has identified three new Tlaib fundraisers who are connected to terrorism.
This includes one Tlaib fundraiser who “met with a Hamas co-founder while in a maximum-security Israeli jail” and another said to be allied “with multiple terror groups, including Hamas,” according to the findings provided by Canary Mission to the Washington Free Beacon. A third Tlaib fundraiser was allegedly convicted “by an Israeli military court for providing material support to Hamas,” according to the findings.
How many outlets have reported on them? Let’s use the search phrase Tlaib Canary at each of these outlets, without quotes:
- New York Times: Zero, although two older and unrelated links come up. The search term Tlaib Hamas produces 22 links from the past month, but none of them about her potential links to Hamas as detailed by Canary Mission.
- Washington Post: Zero. The search term Tlaib Hamas only produces two links, neither of them pertinent.
- Detroit Free Press: Zero.
- Associated Press: Almost 800 returns, but nothing on either Canary Mission report. An attempt to drill down with the search term Tlaib “Canary Mission” narrowed it down to 253 non-pertinent returns.
- Reuters: Zero.
- CNN: One hit on a link to a video of Tlaib ‘tear[ing] up’ during her defense against the censure motion, but nothing on the Canary Mission reports. CNN’s search functions are terrible and rudimentary, but a search on Tlaib Hamas doesn’t seem to generate any link to coverage of Canary Mission’s reports … although it does produce a link to CAIR’s claims of ‘unprecedented’ Islamophobic bias complaints. Priorities, priorities.
- NBC News: Zero. Again, Tlaib Hamas also doesn’t return any story covering the Canary Mission reports, but it does return a lot of non-pertinent coverage.
- ABC News. Zero pertinent returns.
- CBS News: Zero pertinent returns. (CBS’ search feature does not return a unique URL.)
- Fox News: Good luck using their search feature. It’s worse than CNN’s. I’ll just give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they mention the Canary Mission report.
- New York Post: Zero? Zero. Maybe we shouldn’t give Fox News (same parent company) the benefit of doubt after all. For that matter, News Corp’s Wall Street Journal hasn’t covered it either.
- Al Jazeera? Zero. (I expected nothing more, of course.)
