It takes guts in the West to call out Netanyahu for what he really is (a fascist genocidal maniac and a war criminal), and it takes even more guts to do so if you're a US Congress representative.
To the intellectual dishonest journalists covering these facts:
Stop calling the Squad's Congress minority a "far-left" group. Their mild social-democratic ideas and their support for a sensible welfare state are close to what in Europe would be defined as "moderate center-left". The fact that such ideas are considered extremist in the US tells much more about how far to the right the political baricenter has shifted in the US, rather than how extremist the alleged "left" (or whatever is left of it) has become.
Stop writing blatant falsehoods like "The group has been vocally against Israel since its conception". Nobody in the group has ever tried to deny the existence of Israel as a State. They only call for Israel to respect the UN resolutions, after violating >100 of them since 1948, respect the international boundaries drawn by the Oslo accords, stop its illegal settlements and evictions in the West Bank, end the state of "perennial occupation", and make progress towards a two-State solution. The fact that calling for Israel to respect international laws and institutions is now considered "anti-Israel", or even "anti-semitic", tells much more about the absolute impunity that Israel enjoys rather than the group's allegedly extreme positions - and how morally bankrupt and intellectually dishonest mainstream media has become.
