Admittedly, these last few days have felt a bit disorienting for me. I always saw the Republican party as the party who stands with Israel. The party that understood the importance of the Jewish people having their own nation state after what they've endured through time and immemorial. Then, October 7 happened. The Jewish people faced their worst tragedy since the Holocaust. We watched as whole families were murdered, beautiful and happy young women were raped at a musical festival, old women were brutalized and then people were kidnapped. I expected there to be this outcry in support of Israel and their right to defend themselves and enact revenge. That is what we would demand as Americans. There was some of that, of course. I highlighted one in the speech by Senator Katie Britt. Then came the naysayers. I expected that nonsense from the members of 'The Squad'. That is how Democrats behave, after all. What I didn't expect was the 'whataboutism' from those in conservative media.
I used to be quite fond of TRHL & Cassandra. I’m honestly at a loss. I’m so sorry, @bethanyshondark. This behavior is beyond disgusting. pic.twitter.com/z7QzWRAdJ6
