At least 45 prominent Jewish American leaders are calling on AIPAC — the American Israel Public Affairs Committee — to apologize to progressive congresswomen of color, accusing the lobby group of putting their lives at risk with repeated Islamophobic attack ads. The ads link Congressmembers Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to terrorism and mirror language used in death threats they have received. Omar and Tlaib are the first two Muslim congresswomen, and Tlaib is Palestinian American. They have been vocal critics of Israel’s violations of Palestinian human rights and its killing of Palestinians.
