She has become more identified with the Palestinian territories than with her Detroit-based 12th District.

I did consider the source before posting and you may be right about the intent of the article. Then again, as they say, a broken clock tells the correct time twice a day. My concern is the quoted sentence from the article and it appears (at least to me) she is doing almost nothing to prove otherwise, n'est-ce pas?

The hand ringing around Tlaib is in her support to Palestinians and opposition to Israel. While I don't 100% support her position on it, it is nice to see someone in the government with a different opinion on that matter. Given her district, I don't think that stance is going to cost her votes. Her seat is safe even with an Israeli PAC offering $20M to anyone to run against her.

Totally possible. Actually, with the coming out regarding the offers of paid opposition, it may even strengthen her position.

Politics is truly a distasteful (but lucrative) occupation.

Or maybe you espouse views that are farther right than you like to think of yourself as. Views that would have put you, for example, on the side of the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging.

You should consider asking yourself whether you need to more reading on this topic before having an opinion.
