It’s disgusting that my colleagues would support legislation to prohibit U.S. officials from even citing the Palestinian death toll.
They want to erase the Palestinians who are living, and now they are trying to erase the Palestinians who are dead. This is genocide denial. pic.twitter.com/ZY3x0BIlQ0

“Israel is engaged in the mother of all performative contradictions: denying genocide, while committing genocide, all the while demanding the right to genocide. The Jewish State is genocidal not because it has been denounced as ‘genocidal’ by ostensible ‘anti-semites’ and ‘terrorist sympathizers,’ but by virtue of its actions. Israel is genocidal by virtue of what it has done to Gaza, the people and their land.”
