Rashida Tlaib and the Making of her Second Blood Libel

A vile anti-Semite and spreader of blood libels lurks the halls of Congress — while her own party remains silent.

As it turns out, the boy’s death was accidental and Israeli rescue teams resorted to superhuman efforts to retrieve the boy from the pond’s cold, murky waters and revive him.
