Her response is very nuanced and thoughtful and will therefore be lost on many. But her approach is right: genocide has a specific meaning to Jews, so it troubling to hear it used for anything other than the Holocaust. But most Jews would also agree that what is happening in Gaza is VERY wrong
Michigan Dem Mallory McMorrow has shifted her stance on the war in Gaza as she runs for the Senate. Watch what she told voters Sunday 👇

The news is trying to act like there's some sort of suspense as to whether Republicans in the Senate will fuck over the country to pass a bill to give more money to the rich. I'm on the edge of my seat.

We love to see Senate Democrats doing everything in their power to delay and disrupt the vote on Trump’s Tax Scam. Thank you to Minority Leader @schumer.senate.gov and all of you who urged your Democratic senators to make this vote as painful as possible for the GOP.

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

They did. How? They acknowledged the horrors, punished the wrong-doers, put laws and policies into place to make sure it doesn’t happen again, and then became a thriving country. Now, they are forgetting the lessons, which is NOT the same as moving past them.
