(43,321 posts)Tlaib's claim of 1st Amendment suppression. That is exactly what many anti-BDS forces want to do. They want to criminalise it. Obviously I have to add that I do not know if Blinken is one of those. I would hope he is not and would tend to seriously doubt he is.
I do agree wholeheartedly agree that Tlaib should have been more specific. It was a very poor tweet. I am not a fan of hers at all. I am not a Clinton fangirl, BUT Tlaib leading the booing of Sec. Clinton was fucking outrageous. Pure petty, shitty dross. I am adding Tlaib to Cuellar as the only 2 incumbent Dems (both are in safe seats) I would love to see primaried amd defeated. We need to find good opponents for both of them.
I do love AOC and Pressley, and I am neutral on Omar. So my Squad scorecard is 2 wins, 1 draw, and a loss, lolol.
Finally, just to be clear, I was not talking about Tlaib's claim (of suppression) at all in regards to inherent rightness or wrongness, I was talking about BDS itself, as was the poster, I am sure. Ask them (the poster) if you need clarification I suppose, but my stance is clear now hopefully.
Cheers
