even as she doubles down on her antisemitism by slandering Israel as an apartheid state
Wow. That… I have no fucking words.
South African apartheid regime’s big mistake in retrospect seems to have been not enough gaslighting
In 2010, The Guardian released South African government documents that revealed an Israeli offer to sell the apartheid regime nuclear weapons. Israel denied these allegations and claimed that the documents were minutes from a meeting which did not indicate any concrete offer for a sale of nuclear weapons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apartheid#Israeli_arms_sales
Means Morning News did a great job on this story today, here’s a quote from the conclusion of the story:
“Tlaib never said anything about Israel’s right to exist; she was talking specifically about the policies of the current Israeli government and how they amount to apartheid and should be opposed. And none of the criticisms against her actually address that point. They all just pretended like Israel isn’t practicing apartheid. I will go a step further than Tlaib, though, and say that, actually, nations don’t have a fundamental right to exist if they don’t have the consent of those who live within their borders to exist.”
Yeah, they deliberately misinterpreted it and turned it into an argument they could win.
It’s actually encouraging to know that they don’t actually have any points to refute apartheid. They have to do this, because they have no other choice.
insane what a strangehold this issue has, particularly on the democrats. That they jump over themselves to censure POC slightly to the left of them is especially grim.
When she’s right she’s right folks
