The statement by @RepRashida, which is part of a broader conversation about the conflict in Gaza, accuses the U.S. of complicity and active participation in what she describes as a genocide. This is a strong and controversial claim that directly addresses issues of international relations, military funding, and human rights, thus constituting public discourse.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.

  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in a critical dialogue about U.S. foreign policy; however, the choice of words might polarize rather than invite open dialogue.
  5. Principle 5:
