The campaign of Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) has given $170,000 to a political consulting and advocacy firm run by an anti-Israel activist who called Israel an “apartheid state,” reported Fox News.
Unbought Power LLC is led by Rasha Mubarak, who describes herself as a “Palestinian Muslim American community activist.”
In May 2021, amid 11 days of violence between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Mubarak tweeted: “These aren’t clashes— it’s an ongoing occupation. 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.”
She also attacked Rep. Ted Deutch (D-Fla.), who is Jewish, on Twitter in September after he criticized Tlaib for calling Israel an “apartheid state.”
Mubarak has also publicly called for defunding the police multiple times, according to Fox News.
