Scenario...
The problem with "giving them credit" in this way for this subject is that is forgets that nothing that is happening now is new. Israel has been genociding Palestinians for 70+ years now. There's literally thousands of "yesterdays" to look back on to see what was being done, who it was being to and by whom, and how they were justifying their actions. And yet, all the people who actually get the power in the USA to do things just ... keep doing the bad thing with that power while saying "Oh shucks, that sucks that this bad thing keeps happening, SOMEBODY should do something about it." Warren isn't some nobody who just has an opinion but no seat at the table of power. Warren is literally the "SOMEBODY" who is supposed to be doing something about the bad thing.
At some point, the words need to stop mattering because what they say and what they do are completely opposite of each other.
