Una consultora progresista que actúa como principal recaudadora de fondos para la congresista Rashida Tlaib ha proyectado sistemáticamente puntos de vista contrarios aIsrael en plataformas de medios sociales y recientemente ha dicho que cree que pretenden limpiar étnicamente a los palestinos, según ha descubierto Fox News Digital.
The Michigan Democrat's committee has paid $42,000 to Unbought Power for "fundraising consulting" this year, with the most recent payment of $7,000 coming in August, her new filings show. Unbought Power is a Florida-based consulting and advocacy firm owned and managed by Rasha Mubarak, a Palestinian-American Muslim activist. Mubarak also acts as treasurer of Tlaib's leadership PAC, Rooted in Community Leadership, which has also paid her company over the past two years.
Like Tlaib, Mubarak has regularly made comments critical of Israel. Weeks before Hamas' terrorist attack on innocent civilians, Mubarak accused Israel of "ongoing ethnic cleansing."

La representante Rashida Tlaib, demócrata de Michigan, celebra un acto en la sala de audiencias del Comité de Salud, Educación, Trabajo y Pensiones para reconocer la "Nakba", término palestino para referirse a la fundación de Israel en 1948 que se traduce como "catástrofe".

"The layers of grief that Palestinians experience can be difficult to contextualize – especially – when a large part is how normalizing the ongoing ethnic cleansing has grossly transcended," Mubarak wrote on X in September. "Forfeiting red lines generates the false idea that this is the fate of the Palestinian [people]."
Following Hamas' attack this month, Mubarak amplified several pro-Palestinian messages on her social media account, particularly of rallies across the United States.
One of the messages Mubarak reposted after the Oct. 7 attack called for halting money to Israel and ending the "siege in Gaza."
"Congressmen, this is a start. It is beyond time that you use your position that we elected you into to take action," says the reposted message from the Florida Palestine Network in response to Democrat Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost. "We demand that you condemn Israel's violence against Palestinians, vote against sending [money] and arms to Israel, [and] call for an end to the siege in Gaza."

Mubarak did not respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment. Instead, she locked down her social media account. Tlaib's campaign also did not respond to a request for comment.
Mubarak lleva varios años enviando mensajes contraIsrael . Anteriormente dijo que están "decididos" a cometer un genocidio contra los palestinos.

"An Israeli occupation tank attacks the entrance of a hospital – their genocide is clear, their intent to ethnically cleanse Palestinians is immeasurable, the impact is 75 years and counting," Mubarak tweeted in early July.
Mubarak also has a history of criticizing Israel over what she calls its "state-sanctioned violence."
"These aren't clashes – it's an ongoing occupation," the Palestinian activist tweeted in May 2021. "These aren't evictions – they are forced expulsions. This isn't a conflict – it's settler colonialism, it's ethnic cleansing, it's oppression, it's apartheid."
"Say it loud. Say it clear. Palestine will be FREE," she added.

Additionally, Mubarak previously took aim at Jewish Florida Democrat Rep. Ted Deutch in September 2021 after he had pushed back against Tlaib when she labeled Israel an "apartheid state."
"Oh look it's [Deutch] throwing another tantrum," Mubarak tweeted. "He used his time to attack [Tlaib] for underscoring facts also made by Human Rights Watch [and B'Tselem] – Israel is indeed an apartheid state."
"He's flustered [because] how else does one rebuttal the truth?" she added. "Bullying [and] disparagement."
Los pensamientos de Mubarak, por su parte, coinciden con los de Tlaib. Tlaib ha acusado habitualmente a Israel de cometer una "limpieza étnica" contra los palestinos y ha afirmado que Israel es un "Estado de apartheid".
Recientemente, Tlaib también fue objeto de críticas por ondear una bandera palestina frente a su oficina del Capitolio. La bandera ha estado allí al menos desde enero, pero los observadores se indignaron de que la bandera permaneciera tras el ataque de Hamás contra israelíes.
