Ilhan Omar's "Anti-Semitism"

[ElNono]

Surprising a known Nazi like Soros isn't telling the Dems to support the cause

[pgardn]

Why can't someone not like Jews or blacks or whites or tall, short, whatever, people? What's the big deal?

You can.
And nothing has stopped you from doing so.

Have you had government officials tell you it is illegal to hate?
mmm?

[pgardn]

The all for the Benjamins comment was tone deaf and plays into stereotypes, but her characterization of a national interest lobby seeking to influence policy by spending money and speaking well or ill of US candidates for national office is uncontroversially true.

Remember we're taking about a US rep who has used the #bdsksa hashtag too.

Apparently the Dems couldn't brave the backlash from American Jews and Congressional staffers.

Btw, when is the GOP going to start policing the antisemitism on their side?

The blue team is the party of inclusiveness.

They should have ideas from a variety of backgrounds and benefit from it.
Israel should elicit thorough discussion. We have proven democracies can behave badly.
There are people in Israel who are absolutely sick of their behavior.

And they say so and they wonder why Benji isn’t gone.

We have legitimate discussions on why the US has never considered itself and empire.
We have behaved, in certain situations, like an imperial power.

How does this seem to get left out of our history...
It needs to be put out there any candidates need to comment on it.
And if it really is that important votes should be swayed.

I think that’s the way it supposed to work...
Then when criticism leads to tribal retribution aka populism that needs to be called out and acted upon.
The blue team should be discussing all of this right now. To solidify moral superiority over the red team


We can now shut the political forum down.
Problems have been solved.

"What many people may not realize is that the nation of Israel has spent a significant amount of money on lobbying the federal and state governments to make any criticism of Israel “unacceptable”. It’s now legally impossible to get or maintain federal contracts, or in a significant number of states, state government contracts, if your company engages in or even simply advocates a boycott of Israel or criticism of its government.

Criticism of Israel is as much a political “third rail” as is touching social security or Medicare. "

or maybe freshman representative isn't as big a deal as a presidential candidate

[Nathan89]

Obviously, but I still think it's news worthy given the attention on this representative.

then you can publish a story about it in your newspaper

[Nathan89]

Media will have no problem pushing the narrative that Republicans vote no because they are a hateful group. Really highlights why you won't see other narratives like the Duke support.

[Nathan89]

Politico pushing their new narrative.

[Nathan89]

Stupid mistake by GOP staying to their principle tbh. You can't do that with agenda driven media that will spin the narrative.

[spurraider21]

i agree that the resolution was a meaningless political prompt. just like the anti-lynching bill and the "you cant kill born babies" bill

[FrostKing]

"Anti hate bill"

Wtf. Get to work on real life problems lazy bas s

[Spurminator]

Look at Nathan soldiering for political correctness.

[CosmicCowboy]

I have yet to see her say anything anti-Semitic. People saw an anti-Israel Muslim and just assumed she’s anti-Semitic because of that. Islamic Boogeyman strikes again

LOL blue goggles.

[Trill Clinton]

White supremacist conservatives whining about anti semitism, hilarious

You seem confused. David Duke appeared to agree with Omar's anti-semitism. He is by definition a white supremacist.

[Winehole23]

What did Omar do that was anti-semitic?

I would compare her comment to DJT's about who counts his money.

Your president doesn't agree with her and he's a white supremacist.

Well, we both agree Trump is an asshole.

[Winehole23]

Or Jim Jordan's about Tom $teyer.

[SpursforSix]

She sure went in on Obama today tho
