      I do think there is some air between “consider Palestinians as human beings” and “eliminate Israel,” as it certainly seems the “from the river to the sea” chant implies.

      Tlaib has a difficult line to walk here, and I don’t envy her, but I think that chant was a misstep and probably hurt her cause more than helped it, politically speaking.

        No no no no no that’s not okay, you have to choose one of two camps of unilateral opinions or you’re a radical centrist who’s bothsiding a genocide and probably a racist.

    Seems to me she would have had a better defense claiming American ignorance of geography.

    “Which river are we talking about? And don’t all rivers flow to the sea? Why do you not want the Palestinians to have access to their rivers, is that like the part where Israel isn’t letting them have water for their children?..”
