This kind of rhetoric (most of it; Hamas is a resistance organization and much of what they've been accused of has been proven false and Israel is refusing to allow any further independent investigations) is exactly what we've all been saying, and it's Marjorie Taylor Greene saying it?

Have I woken up in an alternate universe? Is the Mandela effect happening?

Literally that first part most especially: trying to explain to people by asking themselves to try putting themselves in the shoes of people from Gaza; it's a sentiment I barely see from pro-Palestinian democrats, but now MTG is saying it? Asking people to think about what it's like if they were going through this?

Also I want to mention, cause it bears mentioning, MTG actually spoke out AGAINST refusing Gazan children to go to America to receive aid.

Seriously, have I woken up in an alternate universe?

Having the far right saying exactly the same thing we're saying using the same language we use will quite successfully turn liberals away from resistance or make them question whether it is actually antisemitism.

I don't actually see it as a good thing. I think there's so many ways zionists can use it to their benefit. Liberal zionists in particular will use it to convince people horseshoe theory is real.

It could also be a way of appeasing those actually concerned about genocide but are otherwise republicans. Just keeps them attached to the party to keep voting for them

well yeah its ammunition for conflating anti-zionism with antisemitism, and in the end she's helping the zionists
