Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Rashida Tlaib" in English language version.
Tlaib never once mentioned Nessel's religion or Judaism. But Metro Times pointed out in the story that Nessel is Jewish, and that appears to be the spark that led to the false claims.
Nessel's religious background was only mentioned as part of the description from the article's author, who wrote, "Tlaib also criticized Nessel, who is the first Jewish person elected Attorney General of Michigan, for what she believes is a biased approach to the protest." A closer look reveals that Tlaib's statement was not about Nessel being Jewish but about systemic anti-Palestinian bigotry.
"The attendance record is spectacular," said Tlaib, a member of Southwestern's class of 1994.
