Rep. Rashida Tlaib said Michigan Attorney General's office only filed charges against pro-Palestinian activists at the University of Michigan because she’s Jewish .

The spurious claims stem from a Sept. 13 interview with Metro Times .

Nessel is Jewish , and that appears to be the spark that led to the false claims.

The ACLU of Michigan criticized Nessel for charging peaceful protesters.

Charges stem from a University of Michigan student protest encampment that was established in April .

It was intended to draw attention to Israel ’s ongoing massacre of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank .

Most of those charged are alumni and students who refused to vacate the encampment after police ordered them to leave.
