Rashida Tlaib

The statement and accompanying image discuss a resolution introduced by members of Congress to recognize what they describe as the genocide of the Palestinian people by Israel. It also mentions significant U.S. military aid and weapons deals with Israel. This constitutes public discourse as it addresses international relations, human rights, and U.S. foreign policy.

1. Principle 1:

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

   The statement raises serious allegations of genocide, which could contribute to harm if not substantiated. However, it aims to address perceived injustices, aligning with the principle of doing no harm by seeking accountability. [+1]
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 of individuals but could be seen as accusatory towards a nation, which may not fully respect the dignity of all parties involved. [-1]
3. Principle 3:

   I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.

   The statement promotes understanding of the issue by providing specific figures on military aid, but the language used could polarize rather than foster empathy and compassion.
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 public discourse by presenting a critical view of U.S. foreign policy, which can be seen as constructive criticism. However, the use of charged language like 'genocide' may hinder constructive dialogue.
