Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib refused to apologize Wednesday for saying on Tuesday that Israel is to blame for the hospital explosion that day in Gaza, an accusation that sparked political backlash against her from Republicans as Israel denies fault.
Tlaib joined thousands of protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza during a solidarity rally hosted by the left-leaning group Jewish Voice for Peace at the National Mall. She was visibly emotional, at times pausing her speech to openly weep and criticizing lawmakers who have not backed a ceasefire resolution.
You’re putting words in my moyth, we both agree that a ceasefire is not a solution as the injustice will just continue.
We disagree on solution though, Israel is the occupier and will kill or displace 2 million Palestinians as soon as it can. We didn’t let the Nazi state or fascist italy exist after the war. We now look back and consider Rhodesia and apartheid SA to be bad. The same applies to treatment of natives by most other colonising nations.
Israel is on the wrong side of history and like all fascist and colonising states it should be torn down.
If Israel wanted to kill 2 million people, they wouldn’t tell them to evacuate south. They would just destroy Gaza. Get over yourself. Clearly Israel is at least trying to somewhat minimize damages, but you can’t even admit to that. You have to paint them as genocidal maniacs, completely ignoring Hamas and what they’ve done. You’re not going to convince anyone by lying.
I said kill OR displace 2 million, they don’t need to kill to commit war crimes or ethnic cleansing.
Israel also bombed the supposedly safe route to the south, so there goes the whole benevolent state lie.
Israel doesn’t minimise damages, it in fact calls for the most extreme revenge against Palestine and minimises the media coverage when it blows back against them.
No matter what hamas has done it can’t be allowed to deflect from Israeli crimes, Israel has been called out by the UN for committing genocide.
The fact you compare a terrorist organisation to a state that should be expected to be held to a higher set of standards is pretty damming to that state.

Did they? Or did Hamas? If it was Israel, do you know why they did it? How are you getting access to that information?

Is Gaza still there or did they destroy it? Still there? Oh, okay. Is it extreme revenge to spend a week telling civilians to evacuate? Is it extreme to spend the blood of your own soldiers in a ground invasion to destroy an enemy that has sworn to never stop attacking you?

So you’re literally excusing terrorism now. At least you took your mask off.

Well they did wait until they were attacked. There’s a reason all of these events are happening right now. Remember what happened on the 7th? Who was responsible for that?
