MODERATORS
The Canadian New Democratic Party put out a better statement on the issue than any sitting America politician did. And the NDP's statement still had to do the "we condemn Hamas but" about it. Meanwhile Bernie, Fetterman, and every member of The Squad (including Omar and I'm decently sure Tlaib but I could be corrected on that) put out awful shit. Fetterman's was especially unhinged to the point where Felix quote tweeted it and said "Next time you're depressed skip the hospital"
ETA: Looked up Tlaib's twitter and couldn't find anything. Guess she decided to stay silent. Thats actually better than any of the others did lol.
I guess she can only speak up about the supposed ethnic cleansing of muslims if uhhhh they're Chinese and the evidence is some grainy satellite photos of middle schools

~~and not when there's tons of evidence and the Israeli government is openly using genocidal language and saying they will cut off all food and water~~ EDIT: apparently she has

glad to see, thank you. I shoulda checked myself but seeing a lot of red lately
Yeah not saying Tlaib is good just that on this one issue silence is better than what any of the others have done lol.
true I'm just angry about it
Come on now, we can do better than a twitter search https://www.businessinsider.com/rep-rashida-tlaib-palestine-israel-statement-instagram-2023-10?amp
Pleasantly surprised, my bad. I would have assumed if she said something it would be on her twitter.
She is a "progressive" elected just to tweet, like the rest of the squad, so don't beat yourself up for making that assumption
Tlaib and bush afaik are the only people approaching the vicinity of based in Congress
Did Bush say something good about this?
Also honestly I visited Omar's twitter and her followups on this are pretty good it was just that initial tepid both sides bullshit that was severely disappointing. AOC, Bernie, and especially Fetterman were no surprise but Omar I did not expect. My Jewish friend from her district thinks she's afraid of a primary because the last primary was actually kinda close and the Israel lobby is strongly against her and there's a fair amount of Zionists in that district. But still like, have a backbone lol. They're going to hate you regardless.
Having a backbone would get your name out at least, might make people like you
Bush demanded an end to military aid to Israel
she also called it an apartheid in her statement which is important since the democrats decided to ignore that Palestinians are being oppressed.
Nice, good for her.
