13. Has Rep Tlaib condemned Hamas or Hezbolah? We are well aware of her condemnation of Netanyahu and Israel,

The only thing that I am aware of is her statement that "all lives lost are bad" and her implicit blame for what happened on October 7 was Israel, and implication that it was an "act of resistance"

When I see reports on Democracy Now questioning the rapes, torture, and killings that occurred on October 7, having selective interviews of guests blaming everything bad in the Middle East on Israel and the United States, while constantly pushing dog whistles from exclusive anti-Israeli guests that equate "Israel with apartheid, genocide, racism, war crimes, etc." never interviewing an opposing points of views, conveniently ignoring the charters of Hamas and Hezbollah calling for the
the eradication of Israel and JEWS.

The fact is they are apologists for Hamas and Hezbollah because of their one-sided reporting, and that makes them by proxy bordering on the line of anti-Jewish sentiment, and those that argue they can't be because Amy Goodman is Jewish, I guess means Clarence Thomas, Byron Donalds, Mark Robinson, etc. have African Americans best interest in mind.

Criticism of Netanyahu is valid on many levels, but critisizing the retaliation by Israel against Hamas for what happened on October 7, and the constant killings and firing of missiles by Hezbollah and Hamas for decades speaks volumes.
