Rep. Rashida Tlaib is getting backlash from fellow Democratic Party members who have asked her to remove a social media post justifying the phrase, "from the river to the sea."
Hey, how about we not use phrases that can also be in support of genocide in some contexts? It kind of sounds like, what’s that phrase y’all like so much? Oh yeah, a DOG WHISTLE.
I linked aljazeera because they’re on the pro-palestine side, making them a far better source to describe what is meant with this particular pro palestian chant.
This is some woosh material right here. I am aware they are biased.
“The reds are saying “XYZ” How awful!!!” - Blue
“UVW” - Link to Reds website
My guy, I am aware. The point of linking to aljazeera is to show that they aren’t actually saying “XYZ”, they’re saying “UVW”. I’m pointing out that fox News is doing a strawman and supported my point by linking to a pro Palestinian biased source. But evidently that sailed right over your head.
Yall need to learn what a strawman is.

Any word can be used as a dog whistle. Are you suggesting nobody ever say anything?
Does that go the other way? The things you declare to be dog whistles can be dismissed?
Well of course we can dismiss everything out of hand. We wouldn’t want to think now would we?
You usually provide a pretty good example
Literally aljazeera, and you were complaining about me using breitbart a few days ago. Pot, meet kettle.

Fox News is just doing a strawman.
They’re owned by the state of Qatar, and they’re biased in favor of them. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/al-jazeera/
Qatar funds Hamas. Here’s the wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar_and_state-sponsored_terrorism
Here’s a reuters article about it if you don’t trust wikipedia. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/hamas-cash-to-crypto-global-finance-maze-israels-sights-2023-10-16/
If you don’t like Reuters, here’s a 2015 NPR article. https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2015/06/18/414693807/why-israel-lets-qatar-give-millions-to-hamas
So yeah, the state media of Qatar favors Hamas.
This is some woosh material right here. I am aware they are biased.

Why would a pro-Palestinian biased source be a more trustable source of explanation on what the slogan means?
Because they’re the ones using it.
Instead of using strawman yall could be doing iron men.
Thats not how that works. Qatar is not hamas, they support hamas but ultimately they put themselves first.
When they have an awful plan, theyre going to downplay it.
It’s a strawman. I don’t know how else to tell you.
