Rashida Tlaib's Passover greeting falls flat
Washington Times ^ | April 21, 2019

Posted on 04/21/2019 9:17:32 AM PDT by billorites

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Michigan Democrat, offered Passover greetings to her “Jewish sisters and brothers” with a graphic that included two fluffy loaves of bread.

There’s just one problem: Jewish people don’t eat leavened bread on Passover.

The first-term congresswoman’s fans and foes on social media were quick to flag the gaffe after her tweet was posted Friday, the first day of Passover.

“Hi! I like you a lot but loaves of bread should not be on a Passover image! May I suggest replacing them with Matzah?” tweeted Ben Yelin.

The blooper came after the British Labour Party removed a similar image, spurred by a round of fact-checking from social-media critics, who pointed out that consuming bread with yeast is forbidden during Passover, the start of the feast of the unleavened bread.

“The Passover custom of eating only unleavened products commemorates the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, which, according to the Bible, took place so quickly that they did not have time for their bread to rise,” explained the Times of Israel.

This image looks Christian, perhaps about communion. It has a wine cup in it, which would not be characteristic of Islam.

I think she did it on purpose. Just another example of her anti-Semitism.

I think you credit her with too much subtlety.

She’s an anti-American anti-Semite. If there is a chance to insult Jews, she will take it.

But she can’t be seen as doing so.

The antisemtic triplets, Omar, AOC, and Tlaib, must be despondent over the capture of the two Taliban linked to the beheading of journalist Danny Pearl.

Should she not be showing matza bread made with the blood of arab children, as a sign of support for her district?

I’m pretty sure she’s never thought this through.

We need to adopt an eye for an eye foreign policy.

Cut their heads off and post it.

Sneaky Muslim. That’s French bread, e.g. the mirroring of sacking Paris by destroying Notre Dame.
