Well, that’s a relief.

And yet you wonder why they have no time to work on impeaching tRump.

I saw this elsewhere but liked it:

Disagreeing with the political choices that Israel makes is not antisemitic. Wanting to look at Israel’s choices critically and judge the validity and wisdom behind what they’re doing is not antisemitic.
Drawing a nazi symbol, however, IS.
And yet we have a lot of the latter going on with no oversight, and a ton of the former being attacked.

So is there going to be one for Anti Muslim, Anti Hispanic, Anti Black?

Least I forget how about Anti Palestinian?

I am just discovering that I must be a rabid gas-chamber operating anti-semite. I like Rep, Omar believe that AIPAC is a powerful organization that puts Israels interests before the ones of the US. And don’t get me started with the treatment of the palestinian people.

I know Israel can be a hot topic and also know there’s a lot of money and support from the US. But, I do wonder, would there be anything like this to support Muslims?

So questioning whether Trump has dual loyalty between America and Russia is now antisemitic to say. Got it.

I question his loyalty to America, but not his loyalty to Russia.

Just as soon as they get a bunch of Muslim, Hispanic, Black, and Palestinian Senators elected who are financially supported by well-funded PACs run out of a foreign country.

Naw. They get their ban. And we’re in the process of politically lynching the progressive one that snuck into Congress.

she referred to pro-Israel advocates as having an “allegiance to a foreign country".

Point of fact: Historically in the U.S. the majority of Zionists are Christian, not Jewish.

But yeah she was surely dog-whistling (((Jews!))), presumably to her fellow Muslim terrorists.

I would advise Omar to vote for the resolution. It doesn’t address what she actually said.

AOC came out pretty strongly in Omar’s defense today, so we’ve got that going for us.

DKos has the WaPo article, shouldn’t be hard to find. She did it via Twitter, of course.

Let the circular firing squad begin. Delightful resolution for …Trump.

Most American Jews have serious reservations about Israel’s policies and leadership. Dems have to stop their kowtowing to AIPAC.

Ah, if it’s WaPo I’ll get around to it eventually.

AOC vs. AIPAC? Could be interesting. The young lady has been pretty insistent so far about staying unpurchased by any lobbyists.

I won’t link to them because they’re currently obsessing about the whole “anti semitic trope” nonsense and the DK Cool Kids are flagging people left and right who agree with Omar, but AOC’s series of tweets are all right there, easy to peruse.
