Twenty-two Democrats joined most Republicans in the rebuke of Ms. Tlaib, the only Palestinian American in Congress, accusing her of calling for the destruction of Israel.
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.
