Contradicting Rashida Tlaib’s claims of Israeli oppression and racism, the village in which her grandmother lives is full of luxury items.

World Israel News  "One would be forgiven for thinking that Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s grandmother is suffering a life of poverty in a small dusty Arab village in Samaria given the congresswomen’s charges of Israeli “racism, oppression and injustice,” but the truth appears to be very different, Israel Hayom reports on Thursday.
"Tlaib’s grandmother, Muftiya, lives in the village Beit-Ur al-Fauqa. Her home has been described as a modest, one-story home, according to reports. Tlaib said she had hoped to pick figs with her. The image that’s been painted is one of dignified poverty.
"However, Israel Hayom took a look at the Facebook profiles of Tlaib’s relatives and a different picture emerges.
"“If you look at the Facebook profiles of people who actually live there, you will discover that things are actually not bad at all,” the paper says.
"One of the family, Achiam Tlaib, drives a new BMW and lives in a three-story building.
"Another, Raja Tlaib, can be seen on Facebook “posing next to his new Mercedes, wearing an expensive suit. He also has pictures showing him working out in a gym that has the latest equipment,” the paper says.
"Mawaid Tlaib vacations in Italy. Anas Tlaib enjoys a fancy Mercedes.
"Samach Tlaib speeds around in a BMW. Niaf Tlaib prefers a Corvette convertible (a car almost never seen in Israel itself). Israel Hayom says he can be seen standing before his new three-story home under construction.
"Rep. Tlaib of Michigan has made much of the “dehumanizing” checkpoints. But Israel Hayom says pictures show her family members visiting sites all over pre-1967 Israel, including Jaffa, Acre and Tel Aviv. Clearly, they have a great deal of freedom of movement." . . .

The Washington Post adds: Meet Rashida Tlaib’s grandma: ‘Who wouldn’t be proud of a granddaughter like that?’

. . . "Muftiyah Tlaib — who says she is somewhere between 85 and her early 90s — lives in the village of Beit Ur al-Fauqa, about 15 miles outside Jerusalem and close to the seam line between Israel and the West Bank, territory that Israel occupied in the 1967 war and that Palestinians hope to see as part of an independent state someday.
"She lives in the same elegant limestone house in the same sleepy village she has called home since 1974 — the house where the whole village once came to celebrate Rashida Tlaib’s wedding, and the house that looks directly onto an Israeli settlement with a visible military presence." . . .
From where, I might add, anti-Israel forces could position artillery and infantry to drive to the nearby sea, cutting Israel in half. TD
