Rashida Tlaib keeps saying her grandmother lives in oppression and misery in Beit-Ur al-Fauqa, but in fact this Palestinian village is one of the wealthiest in the West Bank and apparently Tlaib’s relatives drive BMW and Mercedes cars https://t.co/YJjMw86mGU

Many of Rashida Tlaib’s relatives live under the control of the Palestinian Authority within the boundaries of Israel.
The controversial lawmaker has long insisted that the living conditions there are atrocious. The truth, according to at least one report, is far different.
Israel Hyom’s Akiva Bigman reports:
What is it really like to live in the Palestinian village Beit-Ur al-Fauqa, where Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s grandmother and other family members live? Are conditions there as bad as she has claimed?
If you look at the Facebook profiles of people who actually live there, you will discover that things are actually not bad at all.
Achiam Tlaib, for example, drives a brand new BMW. On his Facebook account, you can see that his family lives in a very comfortable three-story building.
Raja Tlaib shared on his Facebook account pictures of himself 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.
Mawaid Tlaib recently uploaded pictures of a recent vacation to Italy. That sounds nice.
