I have to wonder if she would say the same thing about any other organizations donating large sums of money to candidates. The issue is more broad than just pro-Israel groups.

Equivocating

Are those groups also bribing politicians to put a foreign nation's interests before America's to then vote on giving that foreign nation free money and planes and arms and weapons of mass destruction when they know they are going to use them to deliberately target little babies and children

Fucking hell

GIVE YOUR FUCKING HEAD A FUCKING WOBBLE

Israel needs to be put right back in it's fucking box

If a few American Zionists are upset by that fuck em, FUCK THEM

Ok

To equivocate means to deliberately use vague, ambiguous, or misleading language to conceal the truth or avoid committing to a definitive stance.

Not sure where I did that.

I simply pondered if MTG would denounce all forms of large organizations "donating" money to advance their own personal interests over the interests of others. Is she against Facebook lobbying congress with large sums of money to help influence law makers into making decisions that benefit Facebook? Or does she not really care about the issue and only cares about Israel doing it? She has shown her feelings about Israel in the past and they aren't good.

Please note that I have not said one word regarding my views on Israel whatsoever. And I have not said one word about my views on Israel's actions. Hell my post has nothing to do with Israel, besides it being mentioned in MTG's post. My post is about MTG and speculating about her intentions behind the post.

Now in case you still feel I am "equivocating" here, I'll help clear this up. I am against what Israel has done since Hamas attacked them. Israel (the country) has gone too far in its response and performed crimes against humanity. Those in power who made the decisions that have been made need to arrested, charged, and prosecuted for their crimes. I am against the US providing Israel with weapons that are used to kill and maim innocent people. I find the actions Israel has taken to be disgusting, inhumane, and reprehensible. I know a nation has a right to defend itself, but what Israel has done is well beyond defending itself.

That doesn't change my thoughts on MTG and this post of her's though. She's an opportunistic politician who will use whatever issue is at hand to push her own opinions on others. If it fits her narrative she will jump on it, but if something similar occurs and she is not against it she will keep her mouth shut about it. I am not saying she is wrong in this post, I am just reminding everyone of who she is and to take anything she says or does within that context.
