Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib on Monday addressed criticisms about the group that was going to sponsor her trip to Israel.

During a press conference with Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, a reporter asked Tlaib about Miftah, which works to highlight the plight of Palestinians. The organization has a history of praising female suicide bombers and promoting anti-Semitic doctrines, and has accused Jewish people of using “the blood of Christians in the Jewish Passover.”
