Democratic Congress members and Anti-Defamation league censure Michigan lawmaker for saying 'you cannot claim to hold progressive values yet back Israel’s apartheid'
Means Morning News did a great job on this story today, here's a quote from the conclusion of the story:
"Tlaib never said anything about Israel's right to exist; she was talking specifically about the policies of the current Israeli government and how they amount to apartheid and should be opposed. And none of the criticisms against her actually address that point. They all just pretended like Israel isn't practicing apartheid. I will go a step further than Tlaib, though, and say that, actually, nations don't have a fundamental right to exist if they don't have the consent of those who live within their borders to exist."
Yeah, they deliberately misinterpreted it and turned it into an argument they could win.
It's actually encouraging to know that they don't actually have any points to refute apartheid. They have to do this, because they have no other choice.

I've heard some, they're even weaker than the deflections though... Palestinians can gain Israeli citizenship or something...
