Fantastic piece

Well well well, we all knew what the tone of Guardian columns would be despite her anti semitism. She can do whatever she wants, she gets a free pass.

Why is this any different from the Saudi’s, Russian or Chinese? The answer is it isn’t

May no one in their right mind ever read anything of yours again!

To be fair to Israel, they are constantly threatened with annihilation/extermination by their neighbours. They would be wrong not to seek support from abroad. Everytime they have been attacked, they've won. It would only take one loss for there to be a genocide.

“By early afternoon on Monday, Democratic leaders – who sunk a proposal to censure the nine-term, openly white supremacist representative Steve King just weeks earlier – had called on Omar to apologize, which she did promptly.”

She would make an excellent addition to Corbyn's collection of anti-Semites. I can practically hear the Guardian salivating over such a prospect.

trust the Guardian to stick to boot into Israel and the Jews.

For all of us who never knew how the Nazi could have been successful, why didn’t the Jewish people fight back (ww2). They were first let down by their own.

Alex_Kotch 🎯 👏🏿👏🏿

When will she talk about Muslim lobby coming from places like Saudi Arabia? Or is she so blind and can't see how the anti-Christian Arab nation of Saudi Arabia got away with manufacturing the worst terrorist band of killers who came and hit America? 911

/ Well IIhan Omar ! Is in the position for gossip coming from her to be accepted as fact ?

I agree that she should've expounded to be sympathetic of victims of anti-semitism. But that should be like a passing advice for her to include that the next time. Calling her a anti Semite is a huge huge stretch. And borderline insane and only hurts both parties.

Ilhan Omar apologizes after being accused of using 'antisemitic tropes'Congresswoman ‘unequivocally apologized’ after suggesting Republican support for Israel was fueled by financial incentives Would feel better if it didn't come after pressure was applied. “Accused” ?

Ilhan Omar responds to Trump's State of the Union with 'This is America' danceThere were several responses to the preident's speech, but none quite like this that is not 'diversity' in any way. When you are completely out of any adequate forms of argumentation so you reserve to thowing a catatonic fit and call it a ”dance” as a rebuttal.

Opinion: If Trump really cared about Jews, Ilhan Omar wouldn't be his priorityDemocrats and Republicans alike have seemed much more eager to make an issue of a progressive’s jokes about a well-funded right-wing lobby than any Republican or mainstream Democrat’s links to overt prejudice You're right, its the entirety of the Left. Look how fast Republicans censored Stephen King for his pro White Supremacy comments. Why is it not happening here? Simple. Democrats are embracing it. Try and deflect all you want, the dirt is still on your hands Republicans and Democrats say their criticism of Ilhan Omar is about anti-Semitism. They’re gaslighting you. by mehdirhasan These Cornyn and Ilhan trumped up fake anti-semitism charges are seriously undermining real anti-semitism.

Ilhan Omar is right to attack US-Israel policy. But her tweets were flawed | Barnaby RaineBy focusing on lobbyists, Omar suggests that America’s interests are corrupted by a small clique. The truth is far worse Given the Guardian anti-semitism views this make sense OMAR: PACs use money to influence policy. MEDIA: Hysteria and slander and libel. And now you just whitewashing anti semitic racism... Trust me! You don't want to do that!
