I don’t think you understood me if you’re saying I said - or even just implied - that Schumers statement about Omar was “acceptable” - or that some of his actions vis a vis Israel are acceptable. I tried to make it clear that his statements were definitely not acceptable. Because some people don’t react the same way - even Holocaust survivors - doesn’t mean that his own reaction cannot be understood in the context of Nazi atrocities in WWII, as well as centuries of pogroms and genuine anti-semitism. Believe me, I’ve spoken out against many things he’s said and done over the years, but in trying to make sense of the I-P conflict, I’m trying to understand the understandable emotional reactions to real events on both sides.
