A Jewish advocacy and watchdog organization has chosen US Rep. Rashida Tlaib as one of three candidates in its annual poll to determine the most antisemitic person of the year.
StopAntisemitism, a watchdog group founded in 2018, has launched its 2023 "Antisemite of the Year" poll, offering Tlaib as a finalist.
Tlaib is one of three options for the poll, joined by international supermodel Gigi Hadid and senior Hamas official Ismail Haniyeh.
All three of the selected candidates were previously featured by StopAntisemitism as their "Antisemite of the Week."
StopAntisemitism criticized Tlaib for her rhetoric referring to the Israel-Hamas conflict as a "genocide" and defense of the "River to the Sea" chant used widely at pro-Palestine protests.
Last year, the organization selected rapper Kanye West for the distinction, citing his highly publicized remarks praising Hitler and announcement he was "going death con 3 [sic]" on "Jewish people."
