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?

She's brought up "jewish space lazers" in the past.

She's also spouted off Holocaust denial. And not the "The Allies killed 947 billion people at Dresden!" type of denial the misinformed stumble into. It was IIRC "There's no way the Germans could have killed more than a few thousand people because the ovens weren't big enough" type of denial used by neo-nazis.

She later apologized, saying she didn't know it was Holocaust denial/fake news. But never believe the antisemites. She apologized because she got caught. She knows damn well it was Holocaust denial and was using it to pander to her actual, unironically KKK base.
