DC Comics putting out Christmas special featuring radical Democrat congresswomen as “real-world heroes.”

One of America’s leading comic book companies is preparing to release a Christmas special featuring two radical congresswomen as “real-world heroes,” a watchdog group revealed this week.

DC Comics is producing an anthology titled Wonder Women of History that will feature 17 “heroes,” including Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), the organization Clarion reported on its website. DC is also the creator of the iconic super-heroine Wonder Woman, portrayed in the recent Hollywood movies by Israeli actress Gal Gadot.

Both Tlaib and AOC have stated several times that they support the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divest and Sanction (BDS) movement against Israel, noted the Washington-based Clarion, an NGO that works to reduce “the threats of extremist groups and individuals who threaten the safety and security of North America.”

Clarion pointed out Tlaib’s history of supporting terror, including tweeting her support for a Palestinian terrorist who was killed after he carried out a car ramming of an Israeli soldier and hosting a dinner with Abbas Hamideh, a known vocal supporter of the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon. Hamideh also claims Jews have no history in Israel and that the Jews should “go back to Brooklyn.”

Earlier this year Tlaib got in hot water for retweeting a fake claim that Israelis had kidnapped and murdered a Palestinian boy, who instead was found to have died in a tragic drowning. In another tweet she said that the creation of the State of Israel was an “ethnic cleansing of Palestine.”

“Comics, by nature, are directed at children. Besides the other social justice warriors and celebrities that will be included in this anthology by DC Comics — whose ‘achievements’ are arguably dubious — including Tlaib and AOC, this book is an egregious misrepresentation of the concept of “hero,” said Clarion editor Meira Svirsky. “That it is being marketed to children is a crime.”

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is calling on U.S. Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib to “clarify” her appearance together with a virulently anti-Israel and anti-Semitic activist.

ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said Thursday: “Days ago, Rashida Tlaib was photographed at an event with Abbas Hamideh, a man who has praised terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah and equated Zionists with Nazis. We ask her to clarify his attendance and denounce his anti-Semitism.”

After serving in the Michigan legislature, Tlaib, a Democrat, came on the national scene with her November election victory to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. She describes herself as the “first Palestinian-American woman to serve in Congress.” Even before taking office earlier this month, she announced that she was “planning to lead a congressional delegation to Palestine.”

ADL says that Hamideh, an Ohio-based activist, is guilty of “denying Israel’s right to exist.”

On January 12, he posted a photo on Twitter in which he is standing next to Tlaib, holding a painting of the congresswoman wearing traditional Palestinian dress in front of the Capitol in Washington.

In his Twitter message, Hamideh wrote that he was “honored” to be at Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib’s swearing-in ceremony and a “private dinner afterward with the entire family, friends and activists across the country.”

“Hamideh’s brand of anti-Zionist activism includes opposing solidarity with American Jews who identify as Zionists,” says ADL on its website. “This apparently applies even in the aftermath of tragedy; following the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting in late October 2018, when Muslims across the country were uniting in solidarity with Jews, Hamideh issued several tweets which denigrated such bridge-building efforts.”

Representative Brian Babin, a Republican congressman from Texas, wants Democrats to block the official visit to “Palestine” that is being planned by Tlaib, and which would also include the participation of some congressional colleagues.

“Allowed to proceed, this action could undo years of goodwill built by [U.S.] foreign policy,” says Babin. “To signal to our most threatened ally in the region that the United States Congress sanctions an official trip to visit Israel’s nemesis would be an exceedingly dangerous path forward.”

Tlaib issued a counter-statement in which she charges that “Babin has a history of supporting discriminatory policies, including President Trump’s Muslim ban–a degrading executive order.”

The Michigan congresswoman says that her “trip to Palestine is to show my fellow colleagues how life is for Palestinians.”

Tlaib, who is one of two Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives who have endorsed the boycott Israel movement (BDS), has said: “Yes, I am Muslim and Palestinian. Get over it.”
