Rashida Tlaib

Rank 2 of 47
|
Score 221

The statement and accompanying image are highly emotive and appear to criticize the actions of Israel in a specific incident. The use of the term 'angel' to describe the child in the image and the quotation marks around 'self defense' suggest a strong bias and a questioning of the justification for the actions taken. The statement engages in public discourse by addressing a contentious and sensitive issue related to conflict and violence.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement could be seen as doing harm by potentially inflaming tensions and emotions around an already sensitive issue. The language used is accusatory and does not promote a balanced or nuanced understanding of the situation. [-2]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement respects the privacy and dignity of the child by not revealing personal details, but the use of the child's image in a political context could be seen as exploitative. [-1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion, as it is heavily biased and does not encourage constructive dialogue. [-2]
  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 does not engage in constructive criticism or dialogue and instead uses emotionally charged language that could be seen as a personal attack on the actions of Israel. [-2]
