The past couple of days were hot in Israel. So many of my fellow lefties were quick to condemn Israel, as usual. However the entire thing was instigated by a horrific TikTok challenge where Palestinian youth were beating up Orthodox Jews and posting it online, and Hamas..
Firing over 36 rockets out of Gaza into towns and villages in Israel. This inflamed a far-right SUPER fringe and yes racist group called LEHAVA. A couple of hundreds of them took to the streets of Jerusalem horrifically chanting "death to Arabs". This was enough for @RashidaTlaib
to blame the entire Israeli population as committing "hate crimes". Neither the beating of Jews nor Hamas rockets were mentioned. Dear Mrs. Tlaib, if you say you stand for Democracy, the least you can do is stand for accuracy. As of now, you are the one who stands for hate.
