'Anti-Jewish': Florida venue cancels rally with Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib

A South Florida events venue canceled at the last minute a rally in support of Democratic primary candidates that was to feature Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib. The cancellation came after a Democratic state legislator, Michael Gottlieb, called the event an "anti-Jewish gathering."

An events venue in South Florida, "The Venue" in Fort Lauderdale, canceled at the last minute a rally in support of Democratic primary candidates that was to feature U.S. House member Rashida Tlaib, known as pro-Palestinian and a sharp critic of the Israeli government. The cancellation came after sharp complaints from Michael Gottlieb, a Florida House member and chair of the state's Jewish caucus, who issued a strong statement on Thursday calling the rally an "anti-Jewish gathering." Tlaib, a congresswoman of Palestinian descent, was scheduled to appear at the rally last night (Friday). The article notes that Tlaib has in the past boasted of waving a Palestinian flag in the Capitol building in Washington and attempted to promote recognition of the "Palestinian Nakba" in the House.
