Representative Tlaib, who is the first Muslim to become a U.S. House Representative, recently received backlash for posing for a picture with Abbas Hamideh. Hamideh is a supporter of the terror group Hezbollah. In the past, Hamideh has compared Zionism to Nazism, and has claimed living in Israel is like living under the authority of the Islamic State.
“Asking the Palestinian people to live under a Jewish state, is like asking the Muslim people, or all citizens of Syria, to live in ISIS,” he stated.
