      Oh yeah, she talked about that, too. “About to” refered to Rafah and was used to instill a sense of urgency in their actions

      Looks like this article came out shortly before they invaded Rafah and that’s what she was talking about in specific.

      Rashida Tlaib is fully aware of Israel’s crimes. She is Palestinian-American.

      Totally. Maybe something like have been doing for decades would be closer to reality.

        The one who downvoted maybe should get robbed of their house and had some relative killed, to gain some perspective.

          Take a chill pill. I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy what the Palestinians are going though.

            These are times that don’t invite much chill… I’m sorry, I’m glad that you’re so nice, but I would wish it on those perpretrating those atrocities.

    I’m actually heartened to see an American rep say this. I’m not hopeful, but i am heartened.

    Now my cynical side heard me feeling ok about something and he is telling me to look for her career to be over now. He says he’ll betcha anything she gets primaried out of her spot by the DNC next election at the latest.
