No different then the Mayorkas and Biden impeachments. I hope someday they are ashamed.

A majority of the Democratic caucus? Because this was.

Israeli sovereignty " what does the House call that?

Palestinians ARE semitic.🙄

The term "Semitic" refers to a large group of languages and ethnic groups originating in the Middle East. This includes both the Jewish and Arab peoples. Semitic languages include Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, and others.

So the Palestinians, as an Arab people, are considered ethnically Semitic, just like the Jewish Israelis. The distinction often made is that the Israelis are considered Semitic in an ethnic/linguistic sense, while the term "anti-Semitism" is more commonly used to refer to discrimination or prejudice specifically against Jewish people.

So while the statement that "Palestinians are Semitic" is technically true, it comes across as an attempt to deflect from or diminish accusations of anti-Semitism. The reality is more nuanced - both Israelis and Palestinians are considered part of the broader Semitic ethnic and linguistic group.

Americans are supposed to be on.

. . . Tlaib called the phrase “an aspirational call for freedom” and “not death.” . . .

I agree with her on that point.

But uppity for protestors to complain about Palestinian deaths though.

Don't they know Hamas is Palestinian, which makes all of the people in Palestine Hamas fighters or supporters, and legitimate targets?
And that starvation, thirst and destruction of housing and medical infrastructure are legitimate tools in warfare?







Be wary of a government that tells you what to think.
Don't care if you are American, Russian, Israeli, Australian, British, whatever.
Exercise your right of critical thinking and judging for yourself.

Thanks for pointing that misuse out.

It's being used to mean 'anti-jewish', 'anti-Israel'.

"Sem·it·ic
[sɪˈmɪtɪk]
adjective
relating to or denoting a family of languages that includes Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic and certain ancient languages such as Phoenician and Akkadian, constituting the main subgroup of the Afro-Asiatic family.
relating to the peoples who speak Semitic languages, especially Hebrew and Arabic."

Note the definition does NOT mention religion of any type.

And if you look up "anti-semitic", you'll find:

Don't expect language usage to be 100% logical, all the time. You can't just assume that removing the "anti-" gives you the exact definition of what the prejudice is againsy. "Anti-semitic" was introduced as a term by European people with prejudices against Jews to make their own opinions sound nuanced, or even "respectable".

If you want a modern equivalent, think of "pro-life"; people who call themselves "pro-life" may be rabid proponents of the death penalty, so clearly it's not all "life" they are "for".

protected speech. I'm not threatened by it and Bibi says it often, so what will these lawmakers do? Who gets to say it??


That said, I have no idea how this is not incitement from a lawmaker:
