In response to the Democratic Majority for Israel's ad attacking Representative Rashida Tlaib, IfNotNow National Spokesperson Eva Borgwardt released the following statement:

"This dangerous ad must be roundly condemned by Democratic officials and taken down immediately. DMFI and AIPAC use Republican donor money to pit Jewish Democrats against Muslim Democrats. But we won’t let them tear our communities apart with the same kind of fear-mongering we worked so hard to defeat after 9/11.

“This racist and Islamophobic ad also ignores the fact that Representative Tlaib has repeatedly condemned attacks on Israeli civilians. Instead, in a painful reminder of post-9/11 bigotry against Muslim Americans, DMFI smeared Tlaib, the only Palestinian American Member of Congress, as a terrorist sympathizer. We’re grateful for Rep. Tlaib’s ceasefire resolution which recognizes the tremendous loss of life among both Palestinians and Israelis.”
