@asadabukhalil @jaketapper 1. In reference to ur pinned tweet, u do get a bit testy, like u'r doing now, in reaction 2 criticism against Israel.
& ur report in the @jpost article didn't mention the fact that US is a big supporter of Saudi Arabia, whose bombing raids r threatening millions of Yeminis w/
@asadabukhalil @jaketapper @Jpost 2. starvation & largely contributed to the cholera outbreak. While it's already well known, as a influencial news personality, it would be nice if u reminded ppl that US is party to the Syrian civil war & that despite the ongoing genocide of the Rohingya, US (under @BarackObama)
@asadabukhalil @jaketapper @Jpost @BarackObama 3. decided to allow US business investments in the country. And of course, US was part of the Korean war. Given how much we have messed w/other countries' politics for our own interests, it's not surprising that they would get in a dig when they can. Besides, if ur really going
@asadabukhalil @jaketapper @Jpost @BarackObama 4. use the "ppl in glass houses" criteria when it comes to internatiional criticism, then the UN should dissolve itself right now. We may not be on the brink of civil war right now, but we have plenty of dirty laundry of our own that, according to ur criteria, should prevent us
@asadabukhalil @jaketapper @Jpost @BarackObama 5. from getting into other nations' politics. This is especially the case with our support of Israel, when this country is founded on stolen land that we're refusing to give back @RedHouseSeries

1. #Xenophobia is the fear of foreigners. @SpeakerPelosi @RepAlGreenTX @thehill @jaketapper @ShepNewsTeam Since all 4 #Congresswomen of color (@AOC @IlhanMN @RepPressley @RashidaTlaib) are #AmericanCitizens, they are NOT foreigners. Rather, #45, in his umpteenth demonstration of
2. his own woeful ignorance, is foolishly equating non-white #European descent w foreignness. Therefore, his #tweet was #racist.
BTW, @realDonaldTrump #MAGA, ur campaign slogan, is itself a criticism of America: If you honestly think America is already "the greatest and most
