If sincere, MTG should call for recognizing the State of Palestine, and cutting off relations with Israel if it doesn't stop the war. She should endorse sanctions against Israel, including joining the BDS movement. Only pressure will force the Zionist criminals to end this genocidal war against a defenseless civilian population.
Then again, maybe she is after centrist voters at the next elections. You never know with those hypocrites so-called Christians.

Greene rips State Department move to halt visitor visas for people from Gaza
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Tuesday ripped the State Department for halting visitor visas for people from Gaza.
“We need to be the America that allows war torn children to come here for life-saving surgeries and the America that never releases a foreign child sex predator that our great LEO’s caught,” Greene wrote in a post on social platform X, referring to Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, an official in Israel’s National Cyber Directorate who was arrested Monday in connection to a Las Vegas child sex trafficking sting.
“Would it be antisemitic to drag [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu’s Cyber Executive Director back and prosecute this pos to the full extent of the law and at the same time let Palestinian kids who had their limbs and bodies blown apart receive surgeries in America?” she added.
Among the groups halted from obtaining U.S. visas last Saturday were those seeking temporary medical-humanitarian visas for children.
Greene, in recent weeks, has joined a chorus of other lawmakers who have railed against the Trump administration and Israel over the humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
“I’m not saying bring in refugees or use tax payer dollars, not at all, but when did America’s heart grow so cold to refuse innocent children privately funded surgeries and then they return home after they recover?” she added in her Tuesday social media post.
“Wouldn’t we allow Israeli children if they were the ones needing surgery? Or war torn children from any other country?” she continued.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the Trump administration’s decision to halt visa processing for visitors from Gaza during a Sunday appearance on CBS News’s “Face the Nation.”
“First of all, it’s not just kids,” Rubio said. “It’s a bunch of adults that are accompanying them.”
“Second, we had outreach from multiple congressional offices asking questions about it, and so we’re going to reevaluate how those visas are being granted,” he continued. “Not just to the children, but how those visas are being granted to the people who are accompanying them and, by the way, to some of the organizations that are facilitating it.”
Rubio suggested some of the visitors had ties to Hamas.
“And so we are not going to be in partnership with groups that are friendly with Hamas. So we need to — we’re going to pause those visas,” pending further review, he told host Margaret Brennan.
But Greene pushed back on the administration’s movie, invoking religious rhetoric.
“I know God does not discriminate in his love for children. Why would we?” she asked on Tuesday.
