Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) condemns the Palestinian Authority abuses of power against their critics - but blames their actions on "Israeli apartheid."



Bush manages to simultaneously write something antisemitic (calling Israel an apartheid state and puppet-master controlling another government) and anti-Palestinian (implying that Palestinians have no agency and are puppets of Israel.) 

The Human Rights Watch report that says that Israel is guilty of apartheid, using a shoehorned definition of apartheid crafted specifically for Israel, has given Bush the license needed to attack the Jewish state while pretending to be a moral agent.


Interesting that her definition of "humanity" doesn't seem to include Jews in Israel - or elsewhere. In fact, the only time she has ever mentioned antisemitism was during the wave of attacks against Jews that finally received some press coverage in May, and she "all lives mattered" the issue.



Bush doesn't just stop at the "apartheid" smear. She also accuses Jews of ethnic cleansing.


The representative also likes to draw an imagined line between US police abuses and Israel because, well, she hates both so they must be linked. It's intersectionality!


Bush's intersectionality allows very real issues of racism in America to be hijacked by Palestinian activists who really don't care about US racism at all.


The only connection between the two is that people gain political points for linking them. No one says "we will not let up until the Uyghurs are free" or "we will not stop until the Rohingya are free" or "until there is an independent Kurdistan, we are all oppressed." 

No, Bush's intersectionality is very specific for what helps her politically, and every other oppressed person who cannot help her get contributions for her next campaign can go to hell. 

 In recent years, attacking Israel is an easy way to gain publicity, lots of retweets and cash.
