This has nothing to do with me. I'm just stating a fact. She was censured for the river to the sea comment, not for calling to end the apartheid state.
What do you think the statement from the river to the sea means? It means that in all lands of current day Israel/Palestine, the Palestinian people should exist as first class, free citizens of the state. Not as second class citizens of an apartheid government.
It’s not calling for the genocide of Jews. It’s calling for the end of Israel’s brutal occupation and for the peaceful coexistence of all people, like they lived before the region was carved up by European colonial governments.
It refers to a one-state solution. A legitimately possible solution with a lot of support. And no, it's not anti-semitism and it's not about killing or getting rid of anyone. It's bad faith to frame it as such.
You're arguing that to the wrong person. I understand nuance. Apparently House representatives do not.
