There Are Two Newly-Elected Palestinian-Americans Who Do Not Employ Antisemitic Language

At first I felt Ilhan Omar did not understand that the language/framing she used was at least insensitive, I felt that what she was expressing was what she was taught since childhood and did not understand the deeper significance of the word choices and issue-framing.

Then few weeks ago I read a local twincities article about Minnesota officials having to deal with Ilhan using the same language and issue-framing previously, of spending a year with her engaged in community outreach to help her understand the deeper significance of the word choices and issue-framing she employed, and I changed my mind.

If she is unwilling to evolve her language and issue-framing on one of the most critically important issues in existence, then she needs to be primaried. Words have more consequences than merely spurring healthy debate.

I just can't figure out why the left has embraced anti-Semitism.

Don't be stupid. Every attack on white people applies ten times as much to Jews. White people are too wealthy. White people control our institutions. Hollywood is too white! Get the picture? It's no surprise that a few low level leftists didn't get the memo about who's pulling their strings. Comments about AIPAC versus trillions of dollars spent in Middle East wars. Big deal.

Whites = Jews, this is why Europe must become multicultural.

America needs to get woke to the JQ

"Don't be stupid," written by the person who then proceeds to exhibit Class A stupidity. Thanks for the master class! smh...

The left embraces outright hatred of America. But they refuse to tolerate even the slightest criticism of Israel. Look at the OP for example.

I think the left is VERY anti-Israel (and, by extension, anti-Semitic; even Bernie hates himself...)

The Marxist SJWs have a Victim Hierarchy. Muslims and Trannies at the top, colored people next, Gay/Lesbian, but Jews next to Whitey at the bottom. That means they can ignore anti-Semitic Muslims, and the fact that Arab Muslims are also ultra-conservatives.

This is pretty much true.

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

Very true.

You're having a moral panic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_panic).

All this woman did is say that a lobby group for a foreign country exists. Which is true. But you don't want people to know that. When you're responsible for America's wars, maybe you ought to be afraid. That's a lot of blood on your hands.
