First of all, of course I had forgotten a word (did) AND made a grammer error.

Second of all, let me elaborate this tweet.

Rashid's antisemitism aside, this tweet, as simple as it seems, gets more problematic the deeper you dive into it. This will be boring btw.

So, "holiest" isn't a thing. It's a silly concept to have days that are "holier" than others. Especially when al-Adha has a similar holiday to it (al-Fitr). I'd get kicked out of the mosque if I remarked that al-Adha is holier than al-Fitr for example.

Simply put, it is a little offensive to see our religion through that lense. And while it is little, it does mean a lot coming from someone who is making a name and a good living "standing up for Muslims".

You could attribute it to ignorance, but again, this Rashida's "cause"

Third part is the least important but it is linguistic. You have to do certain twists to say "holiest" in Arabic. And that twist is never used. An obvious reason would be that no one here sees things through that (levels of holiness) lense. If google can't translate it to Arabic

Overall, I am willing to take this as me overthinking. But through this and similar tweets from Rashida you see a person who is ignorant (at best) to what they supposedly stand for. Therefore, she is incompetent when it comes to speaking for Muslims.

This leaves me to conclude that she is only tokenising Islam/Muslims/Palestine to soften and mask what is simply Antisemitism. And God knows there is enough of that happening without the need of someone in the winning party of the last elections in the U.S be part of it

I have a lot more to say about it but this kinda sums up the important parts

Just to humor that stupid statement. If we were to look at holidays as "holier" Eid al-Adha would be the last on the list since it literally happened to a non-Muslim prophet in a time where Islam didn't even exist. Which kinda adds up to Rashida's ignorance by her standards lol
