Intentional or not, this could be interpreted as offensively insinuating dual loyalty – a trope with a long & troubling history. It's possible to engage in the democratic process w/o claiming the other side is disloyal. We asked @RashidaTlaib to clarify: https://t.co/KzpN84THYj https://t.co/HLsfm3b7WV

Welp.
That didn’t take long.
The Moslem woman who was the absolute darling of the media a couple days ago for calling the President a “motherfucker” is now the enemy of the media for coming out and claiming that the Republicans are servants of Jews.
This is very funny to me.
Leading Jewish groups in the U.S. denounced a tweet by Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) on legislation against boycotts of Israel and the settlements. Critics say that Tlaib’s tweet implies that these senators have “dual loyalty” to the U.S. and Israel.
Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American woman elected to congress, wrote that the senators who are promoting the legislation “forgot what country they represent. This is the U.S. where boycotting is a right.”
The Anti-Defamation League released a statement in response to Tlaib’s tweet: “Representative Tlaib’s tweet regarding the pending bill on the Senate floor has been interpreted by some as suggesting that Jews or Members of Congress, such as the sponsors of the bill, are more loyal to Israel than to their own country,” the organization said. “Whether or not this was her intent, this type of language is deeply problematic.”
The statement also noted that, “historically, the allegation of mixed loyalty or dual loyalty has been leveled as a smear against many kinds of Americans – including against Americans of Japanese descent during World War II. Though the legislation discussed is sponsored by four non-Jewish Senators, any charge of dual loyalty has special sensitivity and resonance for Jews, particularly in an environment of rising anti-Semitism.”
The Jewish Democratic Council of America also denounced Tlaib, writing in a tweet: “We oppose your charge of dual loyalty. It’s wrong, dangerous, and hurts the cause of peace. Whether one supports a particular bill or not, it’s offensive to insinuate that senators would be driven by anything other than the best interests of the U.S.”
Half these Jews literally have dual-citizenship.
And they claim not to have dual loyalty…?
Isn’t that the literal definition of dual loyalty?
Also, the fact that these are Jewish ethnic activist groups – groups which specifically and explicitly exist for the purpose of advocating for Jews as a group – necessarily implies that they have special tribal loyalties.
And the opposition that the ADL and every other Jewish group has to BDS obviously implies loyalty to Israel. The ADL also supports wars for Israel.
I personally don’t believe in “dual loyalty,” as there is absolutely zero evidence of loyalty to America.
Would the ADL claim that the Jews that run AIPAC – a literal American-Jew run organization which exists to lobby for the interests of Israel – don’t have loyalty to Israel?
What exactly is even the argument here?
They’re going to have a real hard time guilting brown people into going along with “anti-Semitism.” I can tell you that.
The group’s tweet drew a rare expression of support from the head of the Republican Jewish Coalition. The Jewish Democratic Coalition and the ADL have both been vocal critics of the Trump administration over the past two years.
Tlaib was also criticized by the American Jewish Committee, although the organization’s response was controversial. The AJC tweeted a picture of Tlaib hugging a person wrapped in a Palestinian flag and wrote – “Tell us more about dual loyalty.”
Yeah that’s actually the point I was going to make.
It’s fair enough, but one doesn’t counter the other.
This is my fucking country, and these various groups are in it, running it, using it for their own group agendas.
This Paki bitch talking about “our history” – who’s history is it? How the fuck is this bitch a part of the history of America?
Both of her parents are immigrants who fled Palestine after Jews took their land.
Sorry Jews took your land, bitch, but moving to a country doesn’t make you a part of that country’s history.
Imagine a white person doing this in any nonwhite country?
I have lived in China with a Kiwi girlfriend – if she had gotten pregnant, we probably would have stayed in China and had the kid – would that kid then be Chinese?
Would he have a right to talk about how “we built the Great Wall”?
Does anyone think that even makes any tiny bit of sense when you frame it in that context?
Take it even a step further, to understand the full situation with both the Jew and the Moslem: what if my 100% white son, born in China, was claiming Chinese history and also entered the Chinese government and was lobbying for the interests of America? And then when called out on it by Chinese people, accused them all of spreading “anti-American canards”?
What exactly would people think of that?
At least when black people talk about “our nation’s history,” even if you say “well, you didn’t really do anything but pick cotton,” they were at least physically present.
My ancestors fought wars.
My great-grandfather spent his entire adult life not being able to write because he was gassed in WWI.
I don’t know anything beyond that, because I come from a peasant family, but I assume my paddy ancestors came here and fought in the Civil War, which is how they ended up in Appalachia. The fact that I don’t know the details of it makes the fact that it is OUR COLLECTIVE HISTORY AS A PEOPLE all the more important. Because we share the history, I can imagine the details of it based on the general experience that we all had in becoming Americans.
History is a real thing, it is a tangible thing that means something to a people, and it is deeply offensive to have some foreigner to come in and start claiming a right to our history.
Anyway – I both agree and disagree with the Moslem and the Jew equally here.
