I guess that's one take. But why would she find it calming that her

ancestors lost their land, lives, etc. if not for thinking it was their part in making up for the atrocities of the holocaust? She's calmed by thinking her ancestors went through all that at the hands of the west to set up that safe haven, even though she and Palestinians of the time hated that it was done? I'm struggling to follow that logic. But again, I'm not getting up in arms about what a freshman Congressperson said even if I think it's fair that she got called on it and has to defend/explain the words she chose. But I also didn't get up in arms about someone saying "some people did something".

And no, I can't even fathom that it's been four years already. Seems just yesterday I was bemoaning my "baby" in a year, and I'll be joining those festivities this time next year. Hope it doesn't bring an end to your trips down there. Enjoy being a proud papa this weekend!

If that was offensive why is the GOP silent on Trump hosting an antisemite? -- WahooMatt05 05/14/2019 09:40AM
