It truly astonishes me that a POS like her could be elected to congress. And it's not real easy to surprise me anymore. old - you should probably read the entire quote to get the context.
Yeah - her recollection of the history is off - but you make it sound like she "enjoyed the holocaust. Simply not true.
Context matters. I did read the entire quote and I'm well aware of the context. Her recollection of history is not "off", it is pure bulls*it. Please don't tell me you are in any way defending her. I'm saying that your quote was out of context. I think she's fine with what she said.
"There’s always kind of a calming feeling I tell folks when I think of the Holocaust, and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors — Palestinians — who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence in many ways, have been wiped out, and some people's passports," Tlaib said just after the 28 minute mark. "And just all of it was in the name of trying to create a safe haven for Jews, post-the Holocaust, post-the tragedy and the horrific persecution of Jews across the world at that time. And I love the fact that it was my ancestors that provided that, right, in many ways. But they did it in a way that took their human dignity away and it was forced on them. And so when I think about a one-state, I think about the fact that, why couldn't we do it in a better way?”
When asked whether advocating for a one-state solution could be seen as reckless, Tlaib replied,"No, I'm coming from a place of love, for equality and justice, I truly am." "I want a safe haven for Jews," she added. "Who doesn't want to be safe? I am humbled by the fact that it was my ancestors that had to suffer for that to happen, but I will not turn my back and allow others to hijack it and say that it's some extremist approach because they're coming from a place of... whatever it is... of division, inequality.
See, context of the ENTIRE quote is needed.
I don't need to defend her - there's nothing to defend.
