The pro-Palestinian protests over the last month, where tens of thousands in the US have chanted for the end of Israel, are not merely a story of organic rage. They are also funded in large part by an uber-wealthy American-born tech entrepreneur, Neville Roy Singham, and his wife, Jodie Evans.

Tlaib has continuously spewed the lies and propaganda of the Hamas-ISIS terror organization. She falsely accused Israel of bombing a Gaza hospital and even after...
