Fact-check: Tlaib did not say Nessel charged pro-Palestinian protesters because she’s Jewish (www.metrotimes.com)

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Democratic state lawmaker, and some news agencies are falsely claiming that U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib said Nessel’s office only filed charges against pro-Palestinian activists at the University of Michigan because she’s Jewish.

The spurious claims stem from an interview that Tlaib did with Metro Times on Sept. 13. Tlaib, who was born in Detroit to Palestinian immigrants and is the only Palestinian American member of Congress, argued the charges were an unjust and heavy-handed response to peaceful civil disobedience.

Tlaib pointed out that Nessel, who has been in office since January 2019, has not filed charges against protesters opposed to racism, police brutality, water shutoffs, and environmental contamination.

Tlaib never once mentioned Nessel’s religion or Judaism. But Metro Times pointed out in the story that Nessel is Jewish, and that appears to be the spark that led to the false claims.

Shortly after the article was published, state Sen. Jeremy Moss, a Democrat who is Jewish, posted a screenshot of the story on X and claimed that Tlaib’s response was an attempt “to divide us into ‘good’ Jews she accepts & bad Jews.”

On Sunday, CNN host Jake Tapper followed up with a segment in which he falsely claimed that Tlaib said Nessel only filed the charges “because she’s Jewish and the protesters are not.” Tapper made the statement while interviewing Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and tried to get her to weigh in on his false claim.

I don't get the point of what you are saying here. Cohen doesn't get "it"? Democracy? What's wrong with what she did and what she said?

Thanks for the heads-up, I hadn't seen that. Glad to see it was re-categorized as an enhancement. Hopefully, someone will work on it at some point.

I'm seeing "just a moment" in the first box below article title by pete_link in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

Right, I'm hoping that the change might be easy. If it requires major work, then no, it would be very unlikely. Thanks for responding.

Hi, has there been any progress on this? Thanks.

An admin just wrote me about this, and said to create an "issue" about it. Where do I go to do that? Thanks.

Yeah, good point, my mistake.

Yeah, I see your point. This post is fine for most communities, but not quite suitable for this one.

You were correct about flair - doesn’t help with Masto-to-lemmy. Thanks. (last night I posted this in the wrong place. It's where I want it now.) :-)

I replied to maegul with some observations elsewhere in this thread. But if you want to see my first good Masto-to-Lemmy post, you can look here: https://lemmy.ml/post/19510351

Thanks a lot for your help. You are right about placement of community - I have mine way down in the post, but it is before other non-Lemmy groups.

One silly error I made when I started testing was that I tried to send the message non-public, so I wouldn't send garbage to Mastodon followers. That didn't work for getting it to Lemmy - I had to have my test post be public before I started seeing them in test lemmy.ml.

Also, I found that putting "[News]" in front of the title in Mastodon post doesn't carry over well to Lemmy, so I don't do that now.

Here is my simple prototype:

Title of news article

text, text

URL of article

hashtags (too many)

@palestine AT lemmy.ml (but entered correctly there)

2 more @ mentions to gup.pe groups

================

Thanks again for your posts!
