First and foremost, these comments were made before the US struck Iranian nuclear sites, hence there is no reference to America. Secondly, it is deeply unfortunate that for some people, American and Israeli foreign policy have become so entangled that criticizing one is seen as attacking both. ‘America First’ means I want to see my country act in its best interest, and not in the interests of Israel. Opposing genocide and not involving ourselves in foreign wars is not anti-American: it is basic morality and, frankly, the values that the Founding Fathers clearly expressed and lived by.
What was referred to was the need to unite against any group committing mass murder and oppression. The common enemy is any genocidal regime, which in this case is the current government of Israel. Instead of twisting words, maybe reflect on why calling out genocide bothers you more than genocide itself.
Lastly, calls to ‘report’ and ‘deport’ me are not only laughable, they are absolutely unconstitutional. As someone born in Texas, I cherish the patriotic right to express my opinions, and even disagree with the policies of our government, as I truly want this country to be a beacon of humanity and morality in the world.
