npub1wcuzydjascw8h7f9wr5f6d9z3mw7q8774ess7azvquse9dk70xlq8q9j6s (npub1wcu…9j6s) npub1almz26yhzkxvmg5053wg5msjfarnwztmp4ml54l60nr5ddndrxvqjk57vz (npub1alm…57vz) How clear is it that the phrase "river to the sea" necessarily implies a desire for ethnic cleansing?
It feels like Tlaib kind of made it clear she wasn't calling for that, but was instead pushing for a 1-state/everyone-gets-one-vote kind of scheme.
Surely the belief that a single state there with proper democratic voting rights isn't inherently an evil opinion to hold.
Personally, I suspect that proposal has a good chance of ending in disaster, and that a 2-state solution would be much better. I also disagree with Tlaib's take on what the IDF is doing, and let's be honest pretty much everything Tlaib does or says, but still. I found myself similarly defending Ilhan Omar when she was criticized for talking about money in politics a few years ago. I mean, I disagree with her point (and pretty much everything she says generally) but it has to be ok to talk about money in politics.
Maybe US rhetorical standards make it too easy for phrases to be considered "problematic", leading to nonsense like this.
