I have to say I'm a little annoyed by the people participating of the current conversation. Yes, it's true that IIhan Omar could have worded things better, but to say there is absolutely no point to her words is literally dishonest.
I'm inclined to believe the bigger issue here is her faith, which of course does not allow for most people attacking her to give her the benefit of doubt, but coming out and saying that would be bigoted, honest, but bigoted, so there's this annoying political dance people are playing at the moment.
Nobody who values human life above all, would sit here and say that a nation has no right to exist, because this would discard the value of the people who are part of it. But I don't know how this was somehow implied by the tweets mind you, tweets that called into question the financial influences over our politicians.
Let's be honest here, yes Israel does have a special seat at our table, yes they are our strong Ally in a region that is pretty much anti-west, but does that mean we should not ask any questions? Does that mean that if we do, we hate the Jewish people? It's obvious that I'm confused about this, or maybe I'm being naive, but it seems to me this was a perfect opportunity to tar and feather someone and scream righteousness from a pulpit, actions that mean absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.
This is what discourse has become, a snowball fight of I got you moments with little to no substance.
