Tisha b'Av is about Israel. It is about the people of Israel and the incalculable pain of being torn away from the land of Israel. If you're trying to make it about something else, you are perverting this holy day.
Contender for the worst thing Tlaib has ever tweeted, though it's a tough competition. As far as lies go, this one requires a level of bloodlust that is hard to imagine existing in Congress. This is a person who hates Jews down to the marrow. But appropriate for Tisha b'Av. https://t.co/oVzrpLb1g3

Today is Tisha B’Av, a Jewish fast commemorating the distraction of the Temple.
Jewish worshipers planned to visit Temple Mt. So what did Israel do to facilitate that?
Enter violently after mourning prayer and clear the Al-Aqsa compound.
