Perhaps she should’ve thought about that when she was cheerleading the crowd of neocons who are perpetrating all of this.

    Ok. Yes. BUT.

    You’re against supporting Israel because you’re antisemitic.

    I’m against supporting Israel because I’m anti-imperialist and anti-war.

    We are DEFINITELY not the same.

      I don’t even think it’s (predominantly) her antisemitism that’s causing this, because she definitely also (probably moreso) hates Muslims; it’s her backwater isolationist mentality that the US should never help anybody but ourselves (totally ignoring how much helping others disproportionately helps us). I wrote a very large portion of Greene’s article on Wikipedia in 2021, and one of the biggest throughlines for her support for Donald Trump in 2020 was isolationism (“America First”).

      It’s also why Greene was outspoken against the US’ invasion of Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro. An ardent anti-interventionalist is bound to occasionally be correct when the one intervening is an impulsive, reckless, bigoted, selfish imperialist.
