A little "off topic," aren't you?

Pardon me, I thought this thread was about how certain rhetoric caused violence.

It is, but it's also about MAGAt hypocrisy. Trump's treason on 1/6 is part of it.

Also words have consequences. The congress people who have spewed vile hatred against the "Squad" should be held responsible. For example:

Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., has called them the “Jihad squad,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., dubbed them the “Hamas caucus,” and the official campaign arm of House Republicans has labeled the pair “Hamas spox,” Washington slang for spokesperson.

Oh my! That's Ultra Ugly!

This is all racist Ultra MAGA doing.

Let's hope they come up with an idea soon...very strange timing that such a beloved leader would lose her life so violently...right in front of her home...with no clues? I hope that transparency isn't being avoided because of the sensitivity of the situation....that would just be so wrong...

Straight into a conspiracy. I guess being a Trumpy makes that your normal path.
 
Death threats over a disagreement in views is ridiculous. I haven't heard anything from Omar or AOC that I take issue with. I may have missed something.

Rashida Tlaib on the other hand......

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., one of Congress’ highest-profile progressive members, said she worries for her children’s safety as her office is inundated with profanity-laced threats.

One of the few Muslim members of Congress told NBC News she feels her life may be in danger after being inundated with threats since a terror attack sparked the war in Gaza, reflecting wider fears among Muslim Americans who feel they are being targeted to a degree unseen since the days after 9/11.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., whose family fled Somalia’s civil war before emigrating to the United States, unequivocally condemned the Hamas attack, but her longstanding criticism of Israel policy toward Palestinians and Washington’s support for the country has made her a lightning rod.

The U.S. Capitol Police and the House Sergeant at Arms briefed Omar and other progressive lawmakers critical of Israel — including the only other Muslim woman in Congress, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., who is Palestinian American — over potential threats last week, according to a Democratic aide familiar with the meeting.

Voicemails shared with NBC News include profanity-laced death threats calling Omar a “terrorist Muslim.” Another claimed a vigilante group spying on the congresswoman and “your children” had obtained “all your addresses and handed them out to rapists.”

“I’m from a militant group,” the male caller of a third voicemail claimed. “I can’t wait ‘till our group sees you one day and I can rip your f------ rag off your head... I hope the Israelis kill every f------ one of you.”

In a statement, Omar said she and other Muslim Americans have been victims of a “dishonest smear” that equates criticism of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians with support for Hamas, which has created an environment where threats proliferate.

2 sides of the same coin. Personally, I aspire to have a stronger moral compass than terrorists.

One won't have the opportunity to have a moral compass at all if one keeps turning the other cheek.

If you don't care about survival, fine...that's your prerogative.

If you care about survival,
you must forget about right and wrong for a moment
and start thinking about us and them.

That's very easy indeed for me.
Does it seem difficult to you?
It appears so.

I'm not interested in amorality. I'm not interested in being as depraved as terrorists.

If people don't want to stand for anything anymore, that's on them.

LMFAO I admit it's not my best sentence. It's rather simple though, talib and omar say Hamas is justified in their actions based on the behavior of the Israelis. If that's the case then people threatening them would be justified based on their behavior. I'm getting tired of leftists demand for a double standard.
