The rise of antisemitism in the Democrat party

WASHINGTON — Representative Ilhan Omar, who has been battling charges of anti-Semitism for weeks, apologized on Monday for insinuating that American support for Israel is fueled by money from a pro-Israel lobbying group — a comment that drew swift and unqualified condemnation from fellow Democrats, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The mea culpa by Ms. Omar, a freshman lawmaker from Minnesota and one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress, came after a day of bipartisan outrage over her tweet Sunday night asserting that support for Israel was “all about the Benjamins baby,” a reference to hundred-dollar bills.

“Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes,” Ms. Omar said in a statement released on Twitter, about an hour after Ms. Pelosi and the entire Democratic leadership publicly chastised her for engaging in “deeply offensive” anti-Semitic tropes.


“My intention is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole,” Ms. Omar wrote, adding, “I unequivocally apologize.”

Ditto.

an Islamophobic bigot, just like Oralloy, using anti Semitism as an excuse to discriminate and spread hate against Muslims.

Ilhan Omar's criticism of Israel stems from its disgraceful treatment of the indigenous population.

Criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitic.

Criticism of American politicians who put their allegiance to other nations before their allegiance to the American public is not anti-Semitic because the majority of these politicians are not Jewish.

It is anti-Semitic to conflate Israel with Jews because Israel does not represent all Jews and all Jews do not support Israel. There are Jews who are against Israel and what it stands for and there are Jews who are simply indifferent to Israel.

It is a political ploy to silence criticism of American politicians who put their allegiance to Israel before their allegiance to the American public by calling it anti-Semitism.

Are you aware that Trumps' daughter is married to an observant Jewish gentleman?

There is no real reason out there to believe he is, or ever was, an anti Semite

Fully one-third of Americans believe that President Donald Trump is “personally anti-Semitic,” and for the first time, a majority of Americans (52 percent) say they are concerned about violence in the U.S. directed at Jews, according to two new polls by the Anti-Defamation League.

Three out of four Americans are concerned about violence directed at Muslims, and more than 80 percent of Americans believe it is important for government to play a role in fighting anti-Semitism, up from 70 percent in 2014, the polls find.

I don't believe this joker is a native speaker of English. Can anyone say the Internet Research Agency, St. Petersburg?

In regard to your strawman arguments, nuh-uh.

You are a neo Nazi, a nasty little bigot who only cares about Israel because it's all about projecting power in the ME.

You're not fooling anyone.

I crafted a post here late last night discussing my fears for censorship of the internet, and the bullying my family has experienced since coming to America.

It seems that posting has been removed. Am I to believe then that this site is another pro-social engineering, pro-censorship supporting site?

Half of my family is of Jewish decent. We fled our country in the hopes that the persecution we witnessed would be behind us, and that we could hope for a better future here in America. I hope that you can see how disturbing it is to watch the rise of antisemitism within the democratic party. Frankly, it shocks me to watch the democrats make excuses for and protect an extreme Islamist, as she repeatedly belittles and disparages my family's heritage and faith.

Of course I am referring to congresswoman Ilhan Omar, and how she is able to blatantly get away with hate speech everyday, because the American people are afraid to chastise a black, Muslim woman.

This is not the America that my father shown to me. This is vile, and we have all seen where this hatred leads.

I see that some weak minded heard mentality sheeple have decided to bring up president Trump here, in a topic that really has nothing to do with him.

First of all, that is a tell tale sign of the well known Trump derangement syndrome. When a person has to use whataboutism to shift focus onto the American president.

Second, I come from a country where I have seen firsthand exactly what Islamic extremism is like. I have even mourned the deaths of friends and family members, as well as family members who have been sexually assaulted all in the name of Allah.

I can tell you this much, President Trump has done more for the Jewish people and for Israel than any other United States president in my lifetime. He may be a bit brutish sometimes in how he communicates, and he's not a phony smooth-talker that the sheep will praise as president Obama was, but he is a kind and decent person who I stand behind not only because of his support for Jews, but also his support for the unborn and their right to life.

Russian trolls can be surprisingly subtle, and often fun to read
On Sept. 10, 2018, @PoliteMelanie tweeted to her more than 20,000 followers: “Criticizing Trump in a book is just unfair. It’s like criticizing the Amish on television.” The next day, this tweet won the Chicago Tribune’s “Tweet of the Week” contest. What the Tribune’s readers didn’t know when casting their votes, however, was that “Melanie” was a Russian troll.
