Cpl. Pablo Lima of the of Bay Harbor Islands in Miami-Dade County police department in southern Florida was placed on leave on Friday after he “liked” his wife’s Facebook post which called Democratic Congressmen Rashida Tlaib “a Hamas-loving anti-Semite,” and suggested she wouldn’t put it past her to “become a martyr and blow up Capitol Hill” reports the Miami Herald.
Officer Lima’s wife is Annabelle Lima-Taub, the commissioner of Hallandale Beach city. Lima-Taub is Israeli and was born in Haifa.
Tlaib responded to the post and used it as an opportunity to blame President Trump tweeting: “This sort of hateful anti-Muslim rhetoric doesn’t happen in a vacuum – this President embraced it and Republicans have happily gone along with it.”

Buttressing Lima-Taub’s argument that Talib is associated with Hamas, HAMAS-linked CAIR is protecting Tlaib calling for Lima-Taub’s resignation.
HAMAS-linked CAIR is calling for the resignation of a FL Jewish Official, Commissioner Annabelle Lima-Taub, for stating:
“She is a danger & I would not put it past her – Rashida Tlaib – to become a martyr & blow up Capital Hill”
The Commissioner is UNAPOLOGETIC for her comments pic.twitter.com/FXU8TmDoae
