Rep. Rashida Tlaib: “But Palestinians are not just numbers. Behind these numbers are real people — mothers, fathers, sons, daughters — who have had their lives stolen from them and their families torn apart. And we should not be trying to hide it. These are innocent children and babies who have been bombed in their tents, burned alive, dismembered and deliberately starved to death. Where is our shared humanity in this chamber? There is so much anti-Palestinian racism in this chamber that my colleagues don’t even want to acknowledge that Palestinians exist at all, not when they’re alive and now not even when they’re dead. It’s absolutely disgusting. This is genocide denial.”

And American businesses didn't mind being allied with the Nazis leading up to the war (Hitler saw Henry Ford, an out and out antisemite, as an inspiration and was given the highest nazi award to a foreigner), plenty of American businesses either directly or indirectly helped to finance the German war machine leading up to the war, Nazi Germany didn't build a multimillion dollar war machine in a global vacuum .... and then America allied with Nazi veterans AFTER the war ... it's basically Nazi scientists that sent them to the moon.

Everyone made deals with the devil to benefit themselves at different times for different reasons.

We can't point out one side allying with nazis and ignore others who did the same.

Even in Canada where I'm from a lot of critics and historians have pointed out that after the war ... it was far more easier and acceptable to be a Nazi or a Fascist then it was to be a Socialist or Communist.
