NO, she was censured because she posted a video using a slogan popular with anti semitics, let's get that right. I understand she's trying to appeal to her people but you can't just come out and support hatred from the other side.

“On May 3, 2022 the ADL website referred to the slogan as, ‘a slogan commonly featured in pro-Palestinian campaigns and chanted at demonstrations.'” he writes. “Nowhere in the 2022 description is there a mention of antisemitism…On October 26, 2023, the position on the website was changed to include, ‘is an antisemitic slogan’.”

Note the date. The slogan wasn't considered antisemitic before October. Don't fall for their bs. Pro-palestine does not mean antisemitic regardless of what these people want you to think.

Don't fall... For the Antidefamation Leagues bullshit regarding what qualifies as hate speech?

They're the defacto people who describe it in America lol.

Nah sorry I meant "their bs" in a more general sense. "They" as in anyone equating Israel criticism to antisemitism.

You're being antisemitic by equating anti-zionism with antisemitism.

-someone who's Jewish side of the family was directly affected by the holocaust

Yes and no. If a terrorist group co-opts and reinterprets my national slogan, whose slogan is it? Which interpretation is right? Which interpretation was she using?

Palestine will be free from the river to the sea
