She did not say Israel buys Jews. She didn't even mention Jews. This woman, one of the first 2 Muslims in Congress, just had her face put on a poster next to 9/11. I couldn't find one tweet by you about that, yet you wrongly said she never condemns Saudi.
I appreciate and value your work @juliaioffe but you have to see why that would make many Muslim-Americans wildly uncomfortable. Why should their comfort and sensitivity matter any less? Islamophobic attacks are skyrocketing across the U.S. right along with anti-Semitic violence.
My thread below offers a counterpoint to your claim that she was specifically attacking Jews. Even if she could have done better re: sensitivity, I think your deleted tweet about Saudi should incline you to some understanding that in certain respects, we can *all* do better.
Thread here. Happy to have a civilized discussion about this, if you would like to respond. It's an important discussion and I'd be glad to exchange perspectives. Perhaps we can both learn something.
