An employee at the pro-Tehran National Iranian American Council had an anti-Israel and anti-Semitic meltdown on Twitter yesterday, accusing Israel of intentionally murdering Palestinian citizens and claiming that pro-Israel advocates bribe members of Congress in order to get their way.

Beheshteh Farshneshani is a NIAC research associate, prolific tweeter, and occasional contributor to the Huffington Post.

She also is of the belief that the Israeli government willingly murders innocent Palestinians and that pro-Israel lobbyists in America engage in bribery and manipulation.

Farshneshani tweeted that Israel targets Palestinian "voices of resistance and dissent" for murder.

IR regime represses & kills Iranian voices of dissent. Israel gov. oppresses & kills #Palestinian voices of resistance & dissent . #Change

Farshneshani went on to accuse the American Israel Public Affairs Committee of bribing American officials. 

US Congress take bribes from #AIPAC & promises American taxes will go 2 #Israel. #Israel spends OUR money on terrorism, war, fear, racism...

A self-described expert in Iran, Farshneshani argued that the current Israeli prime minister—who recently formed one of Israel’s most stable governing coalition’s in recent memory—does not represent the majority of Israelis.

Netanyahu & ruthless gov. of #Israel DO NOT represent Jewish people. Likud is 2 Jews what IR is 2 #Iranians-- destructive & desperate4power

She then expressed her thanks that President Obama "is not for sale to Netanyahu’s lobby."

Thank God our President @BarakObama is not for sale to #Netanyahu's lobby. Hang on to Hope America, we haven't completely sold out yet...
