rashida tlaib bungled her initial response, like many other palestine supporters. before the hamassacre and very slowly since, she has said all the right things. but her initial reaction was incredibly inept, she completely missed the unique opportunity to acknowledge the humanity of israeli civilians and instead tried to grandstand on the assertion that due to the context, israelis can never be victims. that reaction from her and others significantly strengthened israel's narrative and western support for the genocidal israeli response. tlaib and other palestine supporters responding properly would have provided a measure of protection to palestinians, they failed to do that because it wasn't in line with the old dogma of their political echo chamber. the condemnation could have been however narrow they wanted and still would have done the job, it wasn't necessary to condemn hamas or their armed resistance or attacks on israeli military, it was only necessary to acknowledge and condemn that they did primarily target civilians, and call for the release of civilian hostages. "nothing can justify the massacre and kidnapping of civilians that hamas committed" - because that's the truth.
out of the squad, only ayanna pressley got it right, and only rashida tlaib f*d up really bad.

the most dangerous thing is when such a nation, of whom almost every citizen alive today has been raised on the same continuous victimhood narrative, is provided with a huge terrorist attack like the hamassacre to serve as evidence. practically all of these people have spent their entire lives grasping or listening to their media grasp at straws to use as evidence of their unique victimhood and as justification to oppress millions of palestinians and kill or imprison hundreds of thousands. by the standard of proportionality they have always seen their society broadly accept, in which practically no evil done to palestinians can be too high of a price for "security" for jews, the hamassacre has done away with palestinian rights including the right to life entirely. israelis deliberately choose not to recognize the fact that the hamassacre was only possible either due to the most unbelievable incompetence of primarily the military command and secondarily the intelligence agencies and government, or due to a treason plot to allow the hamassacre as a pretext for annihilating palestine (as erdogan likely did with the turkish failed coup). they choose to instead pretend that this is now the benchmark for the threat that israel faces, as if it could not have been almost entirely prevented by simply manning the border very normally, and not having the military command wait six hours to even initiate a response.
currently, the dictated and broadly accepted position is apparently that the people no longer trust netanyahu to keep them safe because he failed at that, but they trust him to restore their safety by killing gaza, and then when the "war" is over, that's the right time for him to step down and for israel to start trying to understand what went wrong... or rather to start asking netanyahu's national security apparatus about the version of events that they will have then been given months or years to prepare. and of course after almost the whole country has then made themselves complicit in killing gaza, there will be very little appetite for proving that there had been something fishy about the pretext of the operation.
