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.”

The only lesson learned from the COVID years: if you stop reporting the numbers, the numbers stop going up.

it always irks me when someone says that biden handled covid when he simply had the numbers hidden from the public like a few state governors and trump tried to do, but got a lot of blowback for it.

“…with a death total so high that we have been banned from telling you the number…”

That’s because it’s a severe undercount, right?
