Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

She should be treated like any traitor! Anti-Semitism is alive and well...and openly tolerated in the DNC .

New information has been discovered that she did in fact marry her brother... disgusting

This is what happens when people pay no attention who they are voting for! Another idiot in office.

You mean, for telling the truth.

That's because she is an open Jew hater, common trend among muslims, and she's being called out for it here in the US. In muslim countries she would be following the norm. Actually in a muslim country she would have zero chance of being in government.

NOT ANTI SEMITIC!! She was right, the AIPAC is wrong. And I would have something to say about it if she were being as absurdly wrong as all your editorial writers are. Enough!!

Those tweets were NOT anti-semitic. Shame on what 's happened to this country.

I hope they will be more because everyone knows that whenever someone criticize Israel they get attacked relentless on been antisemitic... Just like the boy who call wolves every time eventually the truth will come forward about apartheid Israel and its supporters

IlhanMN A lot of us know that Israel has quite a lot of bad policies and practices. Like you, we want to see them change. You are not the voice to lead this fight, no matter what you do, you will be see as having a conflict of interest. Represent your state, not Palestine.

Stop writing this shit

This country was founded on judeo Christian values not Muslim hate

She needs to be thrown out!

not enough for all the anti semitic comments she has made. She hates Israel and Jewish people like her friend Linda Sarsour. Said AIPAC gives money to the republicans to support Israel doesn't know democrats belong to.

And the media liken Trump to Hitler. This woman sounds like Hitler with the anti-Semitic ideas and language. Wheres the news reporting on this and her foul language?

Her apology means nothing

Obviously, wapo, Democrats & Republicans are in Israel’s pocket. The game is rigged.

Why aren't we demanding that she resigns? After all, she shows how much she hates a group of people.

The bloodletting is in progress, she is just a young woman!! She did not measure her words in terms of political correctness. Why is there a cry from the far right to hang her high?

Watch yourself on what you accuse people of? The only reason for everyone’s outrage is Ilhan is not protected by privilege. While countless other non-tropes go UNCHECKED by anyone attacking and being shamefully racist towards People of Color. We get Silence!

Israel is NOT innocent. I'm sick of the blind allegiance to a country committing apartheid against the Palestinian people. THAT is happening while we lie about it. Netanyahu is a criminal, let's not pretend he isn't.

The Congresswoman 'should not' have apologize! The lens of marginalization is status quo per usual! How does anything EVER get accomplished if challenges are not placed as valid talking points on the platform of political evolution? whereistheauthenticity?

There is some preconceived notion that people of the Jewish faith and their money trail is 'off limits' as a topic of conversation! It is a legitimate discussion. Due to the 'shielding' that takes place does not exonerate the weight of those ties that bind communities!!!!!!

Wait. She is demonized, with calls of reprimands, but Trump got a pass for saying that a group of torch bearing white guys, who chanted 'Jews will not replace us!' were 'very fine people'?

Why apology, that is her faith, right?

First this party backstabbed Franken. Now Omar. They’re truly spineless.

Welcome to the big leagues. You’re not campaigning any more. You’re in government to work with and for people of all races creeds. Step up.

Get her to denounce Louis Farrakhan and I will believe her. Good luck!

If she was white Republican, she would be done. This is racism.

Rep Omar is very dangerous

Let’s conclude, she’s anti-Semitic.

The fvck is a *trope*?

Analysis: for Pres. Donald Trump, 0 apologies in 104 weeks for anything. Why don’t you report on that.

many have said worse---

Calling out a lobbying group is antisemitic?

😂 GL Dems with 2019 and 2020. You thought black ppl stayed home in 2016, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

The worst thing to say about Jews is the same about Muslims and the like: There aren’t any. I am no respecter of persons. I see only pricks and cunts playing make believe. Temples dugouts. Habits uniforms. Yarmulkes BB caps. Ontologically, religions are as real as the Red Socks.

Kevin McCarthy should apologize for wrecking the country. Literally EVERYTHING else is his fault. He is an enemy of the Constitution, and should apologize for living.

As long as stupid, old, white men continue to sanctimoniously rail on women, especially women of color, we witness what amounts to a double standard, racism, sexism and misogyny. I urge Ilhan Omar to leave these duplicitous morons flapping in the wind. Apologies accepted.

How is saying people are hypnotized being anti-semitic? So no one is ever allowed to criticize Israel. Israel criticizes everybody but nobody can criticize Israel CNN MSNBC

Shouldn’t blatant racism be grounds to be immediately expelled from elected office?

A leopard doesn’t change its spots.

She apologized for hating Jews, but is unwilling to stop hating Jews.

Zero work done for her district.

AIPAC is still enormously powerful in congress and almost always, for better or worse, gets its way.

Not anti-semitic. Criticism is not hate speech.

Until she learns very fast to shut her mouth towards Israel and Israelis she will even face worse than apologies. Being an activist doesn't make you a politician

Progressives hate the US and Israel Rest of the world cool

When someone shows you who they are believe them!

'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.' - Albert Einstein (a Jew).

To be fair & clear, put the words of HATRED by Israeli politicians directed at Palestinians next to what Rep, Ilhan said! The whole world will be shocked.

Democrats are about socialism and anti semitism...sort of like nazis were.....

She needs to be reprimanded. Like the old saying goes power corrupts absolutely

I think she should just shut up - though I dislike Israel

Why would any of us expect Omar to be anything other than what she is....

If criticizing Netanyahu's policies and AIPAC's influence is anti-semetic, then is criticizing Trump and right-wing PAC's anti-American?

Criticism of Israel and its apartheid policies, or criticizing AIPAC and its support of those policies is not anti-Semitic. It is not criticizing Judaism or the Jewish people. Criticizing Israel is not anti-Jewish. Just as criticizing Trump policies is not anti-Christian.

Not good enough

She married her brother

A Muslim woman criticizes the Israeli government and gets called an anti-Semite. Real surprise there.

She is a literal Nazi (figuratively)

Typical of the racist and bigoted Democratic Party to be accepting of her and her hatred.

Criticizing Israel hardly makes for anti-semitism. It's a classic tactic for any criticism against a particular group & is BS. At a NYC press conference years ago Koch called me one when I asked him to comment on Israel training the South African military during Apartheid!

I think we can say with some confidence that she is indeed the person we all feared.

She’s gotta go

Minneapolis has a large Muslim population. I sympathize they want to leave their countries. But when they get here. They want to change America and what we stand for!

Gitmo

go_finger Truth hurts. WaPo will never condemn jewish supremacism

Liberal values

She said: 'Listening and learning, but standing strong.' Translation: I'll apologize because my party and party leaders are getting bashed over it...but I'm still strongly anti-Semitic.

There's nothing to apologize for. Criticism of Isreal, it's policies, and its lobbying is not persecution of the Jewish people. Calling out the influence of money on US politics, no matter the source or policy, shouldn't be treated like hate speech.

This is a person who is so deluded she wears a towel to cover her hair because a 2000 book told her too... What’d you expect?

She’s not great at being a closet anti-Semite.

How is being critical of the government of Israel or AIPAC being Anti Semitic? Literally no one cries islamophobia when ppl are critical of pro Saudi Arabia lobbyists groups that buy politicians

IlhanMN impeach and deport

Sure 🙄 DemocRATS/Corrupt media will drop story like a hot potato. She’s lying through her teeth

Hmmmm wondering why there is a problem with her and not Steve King or 45. I may not agree with her but I agree with equal treatment 🤷🏽‍♀️.

Don't forget her homophobic bigotry.

Great politician

Analysis: cancer

Because the pathetic Israeli lobby continues to force us into submission. We won’t be silenced. Palestinians have rights and criticizing Israel will increase now after this controversy. You guys tried to pile on her and made many more of us fans of hers!

Thanks Minnesota for voting in a racist and believer in AntiSemitism Democrats HouseDemocrats . IlhanMN Now go join Trump in the White House because you are no better.

My parents are Muslim and they think that Ilhan is stupid

lol she’s at it again IlanOmar can’t help being what she is RacistDemocrats

She has to apologize but Trump and Defus Jr can make racist comments about Native Americans and no apology is needed?

Y'all really going with that full-court press to paint any acknowledgement of AIPAC's massive Congressional influence as 'antisemitism', huh

I thought Racists were Asked to Resign

Ilhan Omar isn't just anti-Semitic in tweets, she proudly supports the BDS movement to boycott/delegitimize Israel.

So is being anti-Russian, anti-Putin the same as anti-Russians or hating the Russian people?

Does she hate the IDF like the IDF HATES HER?

fuckisrael

When you preach hate against a people you just end up making everything worse. Unless it's trump. I hate trump.

Nothing she said was antisemitic and anybody thinking that is reading headlines not quotes. Apparently in America, criticizing policies on Israel = Hating Jews

and you all support apartheid in Israel, nice stuff

antisionismo no es igual a antisemitismo

I hate Racism on all levels.Gramps fought in WWII.But Netanyahu and Israel's behaviour in the middle east is unacceptable by humanity isms allowed for genocide.

Wot a load of BOLLOCKS!

Well at least the Democrats haven't let anti-Semitism slide unlike in the UK where Jeremy Corbyn pretty much gave a 'free pass' to anti-Semites in Labour's ranks until s**t hit the fan.

She needs to learn and do better.

Do you know why people voted for her ! ? !

2 more than Trump has given for his countless racist comments regarding Native Americans when referring to ewarren

“Trope” is the new trope.

wonder how play if she was not Muslim Woman...hmmmmmmmmmmm

Submission / Soumission - Jan Theuninck, 2015

I am seeing a trend here at some point she needs to be held accountable and no amount of apologizing should help.

She is not going to change.

But it wasn’t, whatever, everyone was dropped on their heads as a baby in this country apparently

Right..lol Her and AOC make up the anti Semitic wing of the Democratic Party

Congressional Democrats condemn Rep. Ilhan Omar over 'anti-Semitic' tweets about AIPAC and Israel'Congresswoman Omar's use of anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel's supporters is deeply offensive,' House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders said in a statement. This is why IlhanMN should not have contained her statements only to right Republicans in power. Left Democrats in power are just as corrupt anti-free speech bigots owned by Israel as the rest. How does one criticize Israel without being accused of anti-Semitism? Someone need to wake the US up from slumber. The killing of children must stop. We all cannot be conscienceless at same time. It's wrong.
