Late last month, Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib retweeted an account that tweeted out a favorite slogan of Hamas:
Rashida Tlaib RT's out the same message that got Marc Lamont Hill canned from CNN.
From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free – code for eradicating the State of Israel and its millions of Jews.

A notoriously anti-Semitic congresswoman peddling anti-Israel terrorist propaganda? We were just as shocked as you were.
So imagine our shock when we saw that notorious far-Left terrorist apologist Peter Beinart rode to Tlaib’s defense:
.@RashidaTlaib supports 1 state where Jews + Palestinians live equally, under the same law. Why is that less moral that the current 1 state: Where millions of Palestinians lack citizenship, due process, free movement + the right to vote for the govt that controls their lives? https://t.co/2HUNJaxYPa

You can set your watch by that crap. You really can.

Literally no one believes that Rashida Tlaib wants Jews and Palestinians to “live equally.”
And if by some crazy chance they do believe that, well, we’ve got a bridge in Gaza to sell them.
Exactly. Like when white nationalists chant "Jews will not replace us!" it's just an aspirational expression to live together harmoniously.

How do you not know what that slogan means??!?!

Come on man, “the river to the sea” language has been used repeatedly to suggest that Israel is illegitimate. It’s not just the literal words. There’s a long history behind them.

That phrase historically doesnt indicate that… at all
And theres no way she doesnt know that

She knows that. And so does Peter Beinart.
I guess we shouldn't be surprised that Peter is defending Hamas' genocidal rhetoric against Jews. https://t.co/cDePYkXEqj
