Subject: Re: Matt Gaetz cost his party dearly
Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush will have had two weeks to fine-tune their objection speeches to avoid pitfalls that a rushed speech on Monday morning might have included. Two weeks for them to see what reactions have been, to hear from their colleagues, to work their constituents so that those voters back home know (and understand) that the Representatives can't deliver a stemwinder defense of Palestinian rights in this environment.

Slight problem with that.
The normal Palestinian and sympathizer playbook is to make a tepid denunciation of the latest Hamas/ISIS/Hezbollah/whatever terror attack and then go into the Sami Al-Arian "we decry acts of violence on all sides..." school of debate where it's made clear that only 1 side really matters.

That won't fly this time. Literally in the eyes of the American public NOT voting yes will be seen as standing with those who would carry off women and cut their babies' heads off. The problem for the democrats is that Tlaib and the others aren't going to grasp that reality.
