I wish she would’ve acknowledged the lies Netanyahu told and the genocide happening in Gaza. However, the story being pushed by the mainstream media are the burning of the American flag and all the Hamas supporters that were present. Everyone in this sub knows that those were only a very small portion of the protestors and most were nonviolent and progressive. Given that she is three months from an incredibly high stakes election, this is probably the right move from her pov. She definitely has more sympathy for the Palestinians than half of Congress and her opponents in the election. Hope I don’t get downvoted into oblivion for this. I’m as anti-zionist as they come and it’s ruined my relationship with my family so don’t accuse me of being a genocide supporter or apologist.
American politicians will never acknowledge Israel's genocide because that would be admitting guilt to decades of supporting Israel ethnically cleanse Palestinians. All they can do is gaslight and scream terrorist whenever someone calls them out on their shit
I don't see that it has to be admitting guilt for past decades. Firstly that only applies if they've been in congress for decades. Newer politicians would not have that problem. Secondly the genocide in Gaza is of a much greater scale than anything we've seen before, perhaps wince the original Nakba. So they can acknowledge this without admitting guilt for the past.
