According to the junior Senator from California, LaPhonza Butler, calling for a cease fire in Gaza is “dehumanizing”
Why haven’t you called for a cease-fire in Gaza? Do you think it’s meaningful for a senator to call for a cease-fire or not? I don’t want my voice to ever be utilized in dehumanizing any California or American. We can both acknowledge that the the atrocities of Oct. 7 were horrible and that Israel has a right to defend itself while we honor the humanity of the innocent Palestinian lives that are being used as a political pawn by a terrorist organization [Hamas]. And so for me, I want to use my time, energy and attention to ensure that we are advocating for a permanent solution. And I don’t want to continue the language that further divides our party, our communities or our country. What language is the dehumanizing language? To some, that is the cease-fire language and to some [it] is other words and phrases that have been sort of utilized in this context. To me, I want to focus on what is the solution that we can implement now and in the future, to accomplish both goals Full at: https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2024-01-18/california-laphonza-butler-interview-senate-feinstein-mccarthy-biden-trump -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
