Rep. Rashida Tlaib: “But Palestinians are not just numbers. Behind these numbers are real people — mothers, fathers, sons, daughters — who have had their lives stolen from them and their families torn apart. And we should not be trying to hide it. These are innocent children and babies who have been bombed in their tents, burned alive, dismembered and deliberately starved to death. Where is our shared humanity in this chamber? There is so much anti-Palestinian racism in this chamber that my colleagues don’t even want to acknowledge that Palestinians exist at all, not when they’re alive and now not even when they’re dead. It’s absolutely disgusting. This is genocide denial.”

    Yup, I looked more into it, and they do indeed seem trustworthy. I just knee-jerk question whether an org is trustworthy if they have a clear motivation to misrepresent the truth.

      Good instinct. But doesn’t hold true in this instance. I too had that instinct at the beginning of this round of genocide until I did some reading.
