Is vile. We have to stop treating everyone who questions official narrative as bot/shill/operative. Are we terrified the ops have s point, when we do this?

Rashida Tlaib is the first Palestinian American to serve in Congress. She has been vocally critical of Israel's treatment of Palestinians.

This cartoon suggests that she is affiliated with Hezbollah, which is a Lebanese organization. But fuck it, brown people, amirite?

I haven’t been paying close enough attention, and didn’t realize that Hezbollah was Lebanese. Thank you for including that.

It's a lot of the rain people wouldn't view for Ralph Nader, when he first started running, even though they aligned with his policy proposals.
