Freshman Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota is accused of sending a string of 'anti-Semitic' tweets regarding the Israeli lobby in the U.S.

 

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

Democratic Party needs to stand by her!!!

If she weren't guilty, then why did she apologize? Of course her tropes abouts Jews & money were antiSemitic. It's akin to calling an Afr Amer the 'N' word. So knock it off folks and stop pretending. AntiSemitism is on the rise in the US & Europe & Omar is part of the problem.

Did she also say she can grab women by the pu$$y?

It's not an accusation, it's a fact. She boasted that Islam is better and will get revenge on non-Muslim communities. Her tweets have not been deleted.

I’m sorry but calling out Israel on its missteps isn’t always anti Jewish

Camel jockey. Now thats anti-Semitic ! 😆

If this were Salem, would you have only reported witch accusations or would you report the accused was not a witch?

If the Israeli lobbyist are anything like the drug, oil, well lobbyist in general, she may have a point! Why do we allow lobbyist anyway Why are they slithering around the halls of Congress?

What don’t they like about the truth? Rep Ilhan Omar had to accept the racist treatment of Muslims by the hypocrites chastising her feelings on Jews. Just saying🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

This is a anti american She is out to destroy us

Where is the outrage when funds are cut by the trump White House for Palestinians, Israel government doesn’t support Democratic Party why should we like them. The republicans want to stir a storm in a tea cup, sorry it will never work 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

Serving the interests of other country instead of your own is called treason. Watch them standing: 'No matter on which side of hall you seat, you stand with Israel'

JillWineBanks Criticizing Israel’s policies that hurt Palestinians is not in itself anti-Semitic. And it should always be remembered that Arabs are Semitic too.

Nonsense

And how many racist tweets has Trump sent out? I refuse to support this double standard.

Give her a little time, like Ms. Cortize.... she,too is learning, both will be ok.....

This is total bullshit! She is not anti-Semitic! To criticize lobbyist has nothing to do with the Jewish people! slantednews propaganda

It's called 'Lobby' .....what do you think they do? Go to the poll and vote for their agenda? Please....

& realDonaldTrump$ HATEFUL, RACIST tweets... He sends out EVERY goTdamned day?!!!!

JillWineBanks Since when is it anti-Semitic to say the pro-Israel lobby, AIPAC, is paying our politicians to support Israel? Don't we all complain about lobbyists buying our politicians? What makes this instance different?

Do better.

Who cares she is the “Steve King” on the left.

Is she right or just Muslim?

How can the US government think that it’s ok for their representatives to vomit anti-Semitic or anti anything, without giving strong consequences to these people. You are supposed to “represent” all of us, and that is not representing any of us, All Americans, Jewish, or not.

Nice way to make an impression

Same old song. An apartheid system with people living in deplorable conditions for decade,now under 24/7 surveillance by the world most powerful cyber army but say something & suddenly you want to kill them all. I criticise KSA all the time no one ever called me islamophobe

Ooops, she revealed her true idealogy.

Accused? Did you not see it?

No country should be allowed to lobby congressmen, it is gotten out of hand, special interest groups, corporations, private companies, unions, even supreme court appointments, there is a real problem in government not only at the federal level but state and local municipalities.

It’s as if she was completely unaware of the hurtful stereotypes of Muslims that Dems confront and that it is no different from what she is doing.

I don’t believe her remarks were anti Semitic at all. She is correct -powerful lobbies try to influence House members and Senators. She apologized prematurely as all the do gliders jumped up and down. Remember, Repubs love to embarrass all the “new gals” in Congress.

JillWineBanks Criticizing Israel and their lobbyists is not anti-Semitic.

JillWineBanks It's not 'antisemitism' to call Netanyahu a Nazi He's earned the nickname Naziyahu for his evil treatment of Palastinians (Who he treats exactly like Hitler treated jews) Ironic that Isreal has a Nazi-like turdgobbler in charge.... (Who happens to loves Trump and the Kushners).

She's a freshman and apologetic. I can forgive.

Accused? Accused? Is that like MSNBC is accused of sending the above tweet.

Terrorist sleeper cell

Yes we know. You know she has apologized right. You should also know that many of us (including some Jews) do not think it was necessary. So don't push it.

BeBest Stop spreading nonsense.

Now go do Trump & his racist comments on Native Americans.

DNC is and always has been the party of hate. This is a prime example of democrats

This is just the begining of a bigger chaosthey plan to do. Everyday they reveal their PC agenda more and more. magakids

Hell she human, just like Trump he tweets all kind of hatred stuff

Soon they will be forced to face their mistakes

'Accused' while evidence of making an anti-semitic tweet are still lacking.

Question is will congressdotgov kick her off committees like Rep Steve King was for his comments? DoubleStandard SpeakerPelosi

Get her out of Washington, now.

can anyone tweeting validate a criticism of Israel as anti-semitic sorta like saying a criticism of Mexico is anti-christian governments/politics/religions are all separate like US Israel is a result of colonization

No dual citizen should be in public office

Good try AIPAC... you don’t get to just label any criticism of your organization anti-Semitic. Don’t hide your lobbying behind the oppression of those you pretend to care about, as a means of squashing debate over some of your corrupt tactics.

Didn't she marry her brother?

I am not taking a stance on this issue but she did apologize after people called her out on the Insensitive tweet.....can those same people make the idiot in charge of our country call realDonaldTrump and his many racists tweets. Like the one about warren?

Not true. Move on.

Accused, it is pretty clear and obvious she is a anti semite. Have you seen her tweets. Most conservatives are banned from Twitter from less offense statements. Jack where is the consistency.

And MSNBC is passing on the narrative. You are so predictable.

Love the headline: are being called 'anti-Semitic' by some. ....that last bit is the best. I love it when you guys expose your naked bias.

Dare the media explain the Israeli lobby ?

Rumor has it Democracy in this country is just a cover for what's really going on.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black

Retweet everything every member of the GOP has tweeted during the last 20 years.

People. Focus. It’s all hands on deck to save the republic. its Enemy Of My Enemy O’clock.

Wtf is anti-Semitic about her statements and why TF do we we have to walk on eggshells around Israel Anti Israel is not automatically being anti-Semitic.

Did these lawmakers denounce anti muslim comments from TulsiGabbard ? or the hundred of other islamaphobic comments coming from elected officials?

And report on the impeachment proceedings being done by Minnesota. She’s not gonna last long. No being that bat 💩 crazy.

Accused? Accused? It’s in writing! Any other time MSNBC will publish a third rate rumor as fact!

JillWineBanks I'm still trying to figure out how lobbying for policies that benefit a foreign country and then contributing campaign funds to those in compliance with that line of thinking, is legal. Doesn't seem kosher to me.AIPAC. Imwithomar

Must have hit a nerve.

Send the witch back home

I’m Jewish & as mad as 😈

An apology has been made and immediately negated by a justification. This woman needs to go. Omar

Washington operates out of fear.

It is all bull shit . She told the truth . You do not SEE Palestinians lobbying in Washington as Israel does

Concentrate on your new job leave tweeting for your BLOTUS

Accused? Can you read?

C3Twitty I found none of IlhanMN comments to be anti-semitic. While being rightly critical of the pay to play culture of the government she may have acted naively in calling them out not realizing how deep it reached in her own party.

Omar must resign from the foreign affairs committee! She is anti-semitic.

Fact 1. Israel exists from a hostile takeover in 1947 of Palestinian land. Give them Germany and see how Germans feel. Or, give Native Americans the parts of the US we stole.

C3Twitty I want to believe in you, but you still have to prove yourself to this Jew, that you don’t mean me any harm.

C3Twitty Yet another PREDICTABLE power move by the DNC and mainstream media to quell any left-leaning, progressive Democrats. What is sure to follow will be snarky comments and smears toward AOC, Ihan Omar, Ro Khanna, Bernie Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard and Elizabeth Warren

Let Congress get over their Islamophobia before they start judging her comments as anti-Semitic.

C3Twitty SHE WASN'T BEING ANTI-SEMITIC

She needs to go!! biased

So the Republicans are defending her right?

Is that the go to now? You don't agree or like someones opinions you call them racist. First Trump now illhan. the media needs to stop trying to divide the people.

Again Dems eat their own. there was nothing wrong with her comment. it is true that this pro Israel. She is commenting about dark money in politics. Maybe she is being called out for this comment because she is a woman and muslin. What about the rampant islamaphobia in the GOP

JillWineBanks She said nothing wrong!

Funny how 'PAC,' which means Political Action Committee 99% of the time, is supposed to stand for Public Affairs Committee in AIPAC.

Gee, shocking.. Just like kavanaugh vs Virginia..

So odd, all the things accused trump of, they actually are doing.

It's time for the Nazi to RESIGN

The hypocrisy of congress is amazing. Trump can support neo nazis, brag about Sexually assault women , call Mexicans rapist and drug addicts. If she wasn’t muslin would anybody even notice her tweets. American bias and xenophobia at its worst.

quit sensationalizing a non-news,

She's right.

Didn’t take long for her anti-Semitic radical Islamic views to rear their ugly head.

Denouncing is only a word, & for me you have “words not deeds” common in Congress. What’s necessary is “deeds not words” which you have in the real world. DEMAND her resignation! Whatever apology she may come up with won’t be sincere. Hatred is in her heart.

So when does realDonaldTrump apologize?

She is a anti Semitic and a racist and hate of America is written all over her face GOOD JOB MINNESOTA

Not cool. A public elected official should be more aware that she represents all the people in her district, not just those who please her. This is not a propitious start. Clinging to your native, religiously mandated itself sends a message of exclusivity. That is also a no-no.

Power check!!

Why isn’t she removed from congress for her anti Semitic tweets. Why is this woman tolerated and why do the Democrat’s remain relatively silent. There is no place in this country to tolerate her behavior. realDonaldTrump MariaBartiromo

Where is all of the outrage about the non-trope-ish ways GOP, Trump and other nationalists and far right groups are attacking African-Americans, Native Americans, Mexicans and other Central Americans as well as immigrants from African and other southeast Asian countries?

as an Israeli jew I dont understand how any democracy could support this israeli govt which systemically abuses Palestinians I support IlhanMN RepRashida RepAOC MSNBC MMFlint CNN WhiteHouse

She better learn and learn it quickly: Be slow to speak and quick to listen. Do I need to remind her that she has two ears and one mouth? This is elementary wisdom but I perceive she has yet to learn it. People need to put a guard over their lips.

The backlash to this is literally her entire point. Israel lobby pushes the narrative that conflates criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism.

Surprise? This is what happens when a power hungry party lets anyone run, regardless of their radical views.

Wow !!!

As a member Jewish Voice for Peace, and supporter of J-Street & the BDS Criticizing Israel and AIPAC is not Anti-Semitic, though we have to choose our words carefully. If you are working for Peace & Justice - you are on the right side of the argument.

she should resign HouseDemocrats zero tolerance for this crap in DNC CNN BrookeBCNN

Taking a stance against human rights violations and AIPIC’s lobbying influence is not anti-Semitic! How stupid can you be? Maybe I’m asking the wrong question. How bought can you be? I stand with IlhanMN!

She right Ans she didn’t speak out on Jews but the lobbyists

It's not just the tweets she also wants to get rid of law enforcement and Border Patrol. She, like many Dems have no business being in Congress

I No care if U Jewish or U worship Xenu all know power lobbyists hold...I want gun control...What does the NRA say- I think Israel’s settlements policy is wrong-What does AIPAC say- I think Saudi Arabia should come clean about Khashoggi, they’ve too many lobbyists to ask...

Throw her out of Congress. She should not be there anyways. Muslims are enemies of everyone. What is she doing in a democratic congress?

No that’s just how they were interpreted. it should be ok to be negative about a lobbing firm AIPAC

Why is denouncing Israel antisemitic but denouncing Muslim nations not Islamaphobic? You can't have it both ways.

Sensationalism. Calling out the influence of money is not anti-semetic. No one should have carte-blanche.

JillWineBanks She’s right follow the money 💰 Israel has and will continue to back candidates with morale and financial support somehow, someway, because that faith is so woven into our society, people don’t want to know or even seek to know

She needs to apologize

Busted by your own party. DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

Rep is accused of saying lobbyists actually lobby Congress. 🤯 DistractionAlert

Israel and United States have strong ties I welcome her to government But this bond is not a simple one and I don't think it has to do with money In the 7 day war US sided with Isreal

Have to admit, I am not thrilled about the Israelis and what they are doing to the Palestinians. They were brutalized, murdered and recovered. And given a chance to lead, the ISRAELIS have become the oppressors who murder innocents daily.

Oh BS.

This is what the people of Minnesota wanted so sad so I don’t understand why they wanted this lady in Congress .

She told the truth. Reprimand her?

But her emails! Benghazi!

So we can elect a President that disparages EVERY people group in the country - other than white, Republican, octogenarian billionaires. But 1 Congresswoman calls out the GOP relations with Israeli GOVERNMENT - not the Jewish people - & we gonna have an actual fall-out, fit?!?

Her being anti gay should be the headline

Resign

It’s Party of Infanticide, Robert Byrd, George Walace, Bill Clinton, Ralph Northam, Justin Fairfax, Mark Herring, Omar terrorist sympathizer SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer

Why is IlhanMN getting called out, while our pathetic president realDonaldTrump doesn't for his racist remarks towards ewarren ? How can the GOPLeader SenateGOP demand an apology for one tweet but not another. GOP is becoming a racist, white man party!

JillWineBanks When truth about Israel is labeled, Anti-Semitism, they've successfully combated against any Criticism from all quarters !!!

Republicans GOP will go to extraordinary lengths to destroy a person to take power. They had it and didn’t know what to do with it.

fakenews again. No democratic leadership denounced.

JillWineBanks She should be censored!

You know who has socialized medical care and higher education? Israel. The US tax payers help pay for it to the tune of about 10 million a day in aid.

The response to her tweet is the evidence. The hypocrites in DNC & GOP only treat the Israelis with respect in situations like this. When the Israelis opine on serious matters the hypocrites ignore. Like Israel's denunciation of interference in Iraq. There was true anti-semitism.

AIPAC is a stain on our government. She’s right. Who seriously thinks that an organization that hands out millions of dollars a year to our politicians isn’t buying influence?

This is only an issue because she is a Muslim. C'mon America..! So American Muslims can't criticize American Jewish People..?! Ridiculous.!

Tell me Sheldon Adelson’s donations haven’t achieved favorable votes🤔🤔🤔

Bravo to IlhanMN for bravely speaking the truth about AIPAC that the lying cowards criticizing her also know. It is NOT anti-Semitic to criticize a PAC! Not even one of the most powerful ones.

You should be ashamed of yourselves to promote this and smear Omar, doesn't surprise me though, your organization is in bed with AIPAC, I think I'll do the research.

I really don’t see the big deal. AIPAC is no different than the NRA, big pharma, banking industry, etc. They buy our politicians. This Congresswoman has the cajones to call them on it. She should be lauded. Nothing in America will change when our leaders are owned.

Accused?

I found nothing Anti-Semitic about her remarks. Israeli Government has paid lobbyists pushing money and agenda at Congressmen for preferential treatment. Same as the NRA. No difference.

So why did Democrats denounce her comments, she doesn’t care for America or Israel at all and would love nothing more than shariah law in America. Wake up , 🇺🇸1st .

The democrat party has elected a string of anti Semitic Jew haters all facts also let’s not forget the democrat party was built on race hate and the KKK.

I was surprised when I read her unkind comment! Whoa!

Dems keep messing up. No wonder trumps approval ratings keep rising.

She need NOT apologize. When has realDonaldTrump been made to apologize for anything?

DEPORT 🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓

Hey I feel like we are Israel 2 WE suppose to hate immigrants THE WALL but this is the only country we will die for spend all our tax money on. No race NO religion is superior to ANY OTHER. Doesn't mean I am anti semitic

But what she says is true!!

JillWineBanks You’re a liar if you claim to be surprised. You are anti Semitic if your positions are that Israel is supposed to commit national suicide by inviting hamas and hezbollah into their borders.

She is right and it’s not about anti-Semitic it’s about the lobbyist using money to influence get real people

😒🙁

I fill she is a mole with a terrorist group.

The mainstream media is helping smear this woman. And you wonder why people don't like mainstream media

Does she nit realize that she is not only hurting the Dems but also women. You wonder why women have little respect. Grow up and learn. You are no better than Trump

It is not anti-Semitic to criticize Israeli political lobbying.

If it's in black and white it's not accused.

SERIOUSLY DEMS THIS IS what you want to represent the party. GARBAGE IN GARBAGE OUT UNQUALIFIED RACIST XENOPHOBIC BUT, DEMOCRAT, I GUESS THAT MAKES HER STATEMENTS OK If a Republican uttered a sound like she has tweeted YOU'D ALL BE CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HANGING HYPOCRITES

If she and other Muslims want respect for themselves and their religion, they must respect others religion as well. The Muslim animosity towards Jews has no place in our politics. She represents all members not just Muslims.

Great job Minnesota!

No shit!

You can’t criticize Israel at all ever, otherwise you’re antisemitic.

How short a memory you in the Media have. When Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu spoke before Congress there were Republicans and some Democrats groveling over his presence, while the former often disrespected the sitting POTUS in Barack Obama. Rep Omar has a right to speak.

There goes the propaganda machine spewing its garbage again. Eh, kasie

They were talking about a super PAC which is 'all about the money'. What the hell is wrong is us that we are always rushing to judge others without all the information needed?

STOP IT

Ya,,, keep voting women into government,,, what could go wrong

accused? She did it.

Go back to Somali and do that stuff there

Accused? She sent them. Nothing accusatory about it. Just can’t bring yourself to criticize a Liberal Politician, eh?

She's new...show her the ropes, you know the one that Republicans use to hang themselves up with....ignorance of the law of free speech. She'll learn quick...just sit back and watch the Russian controled Senate and Mitch McConnell they'll teach her what not to do!

ImWithIlhanOmar Even other sects of Judaism believe the Zionist government of Israel are terrorists. The Zionists (Jewish Nationalists) collaborated with the Third Reich.

If the accusation fits.....

The anti-Semitic talk is 100% because she is Muslim. Like AOC, the right has a plan to vilify her in hopes of neutralizing her political strength. A neutered press carries water for them. The Dems need to counter this message by calling it out--it's Islamophobic.

Yep

Using the term benjamins is not acceptable no matter the intention

Brilliant. Great was to start off your term. wrongthingtodo

It’s time someone stood up to AIPAC!

You dare not criticize Israel!!!! I think they added that to the constitution at one point! I stand with the Jewish people , but not with their corrupt government or lobbying firms and super pacs!! Just as here, corporate corruption is pervasive!!!

She needs to go. Resign!

I missed the part where she used anti-Semitic slurs to refer to Jewish people and said she hates them and instead heard an opinion about money and lobbying.

The new ideology of the left. Awesome.

IlhanMN Impeached the anti American, anti Israel, muslim radical extremist omar.

This Fact for Republicans and Democrats! If she wasn’t wearing a head scarf, this wouldn’t even be an issue. Folks need to have several seats!! Especially Republicans!!

MSNBC is on the payroll.

Why is that when somebody exp their views about something that everyone know is true they call it anti Semitic when those who are criticizing her peddle racism in our own country. Being an ally does not give you a blank check to cash. News should be clear & Honest. SpeakerPelosi

I agree generally with her position that PAC money wields too much influence over our government. But in particular, the AIPAC has undue influence over our Republican leadership in Congress. That’s not a statement against Jewish people.

It’s not an accusation. It’s a fact. She’s a hate filled anti-Semite who surrounds herself with like minded haters calling for the destruction of Israel.

And anti Islamism is perfectly ok, tolerated, normalized? Wow aipac must throw around a lot of $$$.

🙄

Give it a rest, MSNBC. Or do Steve King now. Do the whole GOP Putin party. Give it a whirl.

She needs to be impeached.....no room for this type of individual in our country's government! antiSemeticOmar

Reminder: Lots of American Jews detest AIPAC. Having said that, all political contributions are legalized bribery, not just those from AIPAC. I prefer JStreet myself. jstreetdotorg

Does msnbc have an opinion on this?

Oh lord you can say Arab money KSA money but not Israeli money. Please we spend 30 billion a year on a country that is occupying the wear bank, assasinating scientists, firing missies into Syria, shooting protesters and bombing schools for Fun. End the occupation. bds

Where was the outrage when that organisation let the Israeli PM diss Obama

i resent Netanyahu taking for granted the majority of american voters by pulling stunts to circumvent Obama. i won’t forgive that ever.

The only ones outraged are the ones taking the bribes from the Israeli lobbyist. Swampy

isreal IS a Racist entity and they run the US government

Great start B*TCH!

I salute the lady. Americans,long programmed to be pro Israel,are much like America news media. Controlled by one track minds and shareholders. Shame on every American who supports Israel’s crusade to eradicate humanity.

Sounds like David Duke

If a person of color said something was racist, you wouldn't tell them they were wrong and that they were overreacting. You wouldn't 'explain' how it wasn't racist. So why can't you afford Jews the same courtesy when they experience anti-Semitism? Be an ally.

Stop msnbc... just stop!

She’s right

This is the new face of the Democratic Party. Let’s see you try to beat Trump in 2020. 😂😂😂❄️❄️❄️

I don't see where anyone is accusing her. She did send anti-semitic tweets.

Sometimes Freshman need to check their mouths just bc the brains saying it or you won’t last long

You can be anti-Zionist without being anti-Semitic. That’s why there are 2 words.

A curious choice of platform for a newly minted Rep. coming from a heritage known for anti-semetism. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck......

Progressives are providing the best reasons to be skeptical of progressives.

Elections have consequences.

JillWineBanks I think every has to join hand's and say NO to inhumanity politics is not a family issues

JillWineBanks What. A. Load. Of. 💩

Misleading headline or what - she is not accused of doing this - she DID do it ... stark difference

JillWineBanks To call-out regime's that kills or un-human treatment of citizens, protesters,....,...,...,.. is not anti-Semitic but a duty for media. To know the difference is everyone duty.

Religion of peace?

Impeach the Muslim

MSNBC starting a smear campaign ? Btw.... Having opinions about Israel is not considered anti semitic. Look it up. Look what they do to Palestinians. You think that's acceptable but having an opinion about bibi regime is automatically anti semitic

Slow death to America from within.... and ignorant Liberals promoting it!

JillWineBanks With Israel being the 'Jewish State', it is virtually impossible to criticize anything the Israeli govt does without sounding anti-Semitic.

JillWineBanks is accused of aiding an Israeli goverment misinformation campaign to slander a one of the first Muslim women ever elected to the U.S. Congress. It is not anti-semetic to criticize Israel or Israeli lobbying. It is Anti-American to try to stiffle free speech. Resist

JillWineBanks End the K Street bribe industry and then we'll talk. Until then, don't try to shut people up by lying about what they said.

JillWineBanks It’s telling that is being ignored in this conversation

Sem·iteDictionary result for Semite /ˈsemīt/Submit noun a member of any of the peoples who speak or spoke a Semitic language, including in particular the Jews and Arabs. Note: JEWS or ARABS Does Not cover the State of Israel. AIPAC supports the State, not the religion.

strings/thongs, donalds daily business! does Fox transmit porno (child) and other weirdo stuff, donald likes so much! it must also be understood by the world, since donald stole the WH, he never contributed to peace, Israel/USA, have an intimate military alliance, they provoke!

She needs to be removed ASAP. She is anti-American. She has betrayed our Country's principals, which means she is a traitor. Remove and Convict.

Really? Sounded to me like her implication was that the GOP are being manipulated by Netanyahu’s agenda and overlooking his economic aspirations w/ US. Jumping to Anti-Semitism for a simple critical observation, is weaponizing hate, again! I heard no hate from IlhanOmar Us1

JillWineBanks .....i'm more concerned about the anti-American tweets that our president sends each day

JillWineBanks This is B. S.

JillWineBanks I may need to unfollow . You're playing the right-wing-nut-job game.

Shameful! She should resign.

Shes a racist and infacide is wrong

BANGsteel308 Time to get rid of this person in Congress.

Here We Go! Stops Gunning For TulsiGabbard For Now & Starts GUNNING For Congresswoman IlhanMN, One of Only 2 Muslim Women on TheHill. Was This A Direct Order From DavidCohen Comast or AndyLack From NBCNews Phil Griffin? {MitchellReports JeffZucker JakeTapper CNN

Is this all in retrospect in the moving of the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem? I’m totally lost here? Is she being anti-Semitic due to objections of the AIPAC position or favor of the move? I still don’t get the direct attack on the Jewish community or people.

Accused? ROFLMAO! There's proof the tweets exist! That's not an accusation, THAT'S FACT!

Um 😐 accused is for allegations without evidence however, we have evidence and the Tweets so once again MSNBC showing reporting bias when it comes to democrats compared to their republicans counterparts. This is what the American people called fake news 🤔🤔🤔

“Israeli Lobby” instead of “Israel Lobby” is itself antisemitic because only Americans are involved in it and give it money. Be better.

If you have not stood up against all the hurtful things realDonaldTrump has said, WE DON’T CARE!

Just another peaceful Muslim showing her true hatred...

Y’all should be concerned that no one can speak about Israel’s actions or they’ll be branded anti-Semite. Complaining about actions isn’t anti-Semitic but apparently even journalist don’t understand the difference. I say my mom has raging ADD but that doesn’t mean I hate her.

The true face of the democrat party

stop bashing the democrates you and chuck todd do it all the time we have a crookin the white house wake up

Who is surprised?

SheldonAdelson for one ,MEGA $$$$$$$$$$ along with that DARK $$$$$$$ from CitizenUnited BarackObama TOLD us about at the STATE of the UNION OfficialCBC HouseDemocrats SenateDems dont act like you dont KNOW. So stop crying WOLF saying it's ANTI SEMITIC ..bull💩

When is the U.S. MSM going to get w the program? Israel is a rogue entity engaged in long term Occupation & ethnic cleansing. Illegal settlements r war crimes. That only a couple of U.S. politicians r speaking out is the actual crime here. Who or what is silencing the rest?💁🍻

RIPBassemMasri U mean where the evidence that AIPAC uses money to bribe politicians & influence US foreign policy to benefit Israel? I mean you could go read their website or U research accounts given by cynthiamckinney others who've been targeted for not toeing the line.

I don’t denounce her. As an atheist, I find it ridiculous that Israelis and Palestinians can’t agree to live together peacefully and share those holy sites they’re always up in arms about. I refuse to choose sides.

'Islam is the mother lode of bad ideas.' – Sam Harris

Democrats showing their true colors. WalkAway

What is anti-Semitic about calling out bribery?

Why don’t we criticize AIPAC as to why they don’t say anything about Israel killing of innocent Palestinians

vozefego2 She’s not “accused of,” she DID that 🤦‍♀️ Media reporting on conservatives: “Conservatives did (insert thing here)!” Media reporting on Dems: “Dem *accused of* (insert thing here)”. The bias is astounding.

SHE IS ALLOWED TO HAVE HER OWN THOUGHTS ON THE SUBJECT! 99.9% OF WHAT OUR APPRENTICE PRESIDENT SAYS I DO NOT AGREE WITH!

Remember Democrats and Republicans who are extreme and got mad over this when you all support the killing of Palestines the same way that you all invaded America and killed them for their land

Is it the TRUTH?

It’s because she is Muslim!

Okay, , were they 'anti-semitic' or were they a critique of a lobbying PAC? Quit chasing shiny objects and report facts. Most of us are sick to death of the media desperately looking for clicks over reporting substance.

How is anti-Israeli corruption considered anti-semitic? Is saying the GOP is corrupt considered anti-christian?

Don’t mess with israel ; they have the way to eternal love life. No one else does.

USA has issues with the truth.

Israeli LOBBYISTS? Oh you mean con men for Netanyahu, people he uses to extract as much money from US tax payers as possible while supporting their socialist government and making Bibi and his family rich...that lobby?

WTF! She's NOT anti-Semitic, she's anti-lobbying!

LovToRideMyTrek Both sides of the aisle? She needs to go.

Congress as a whole is totally dysfunctional. Did all these first time elected politicians seek office to throw tantrums? Or are they there to build bridges and clean up corruption in a CONSTRUCTIVE way? Which is it?!

banAIPAC AIPAC does nothing for US but get our politicians to go against our constitutional rights to BDS and criticize apartheidIsrael with their white supremacist mentality

I support the Israeli people but their government has made many many many bad choices. So have the leaders of the Palestinians.

Sweet...As long as it promotes division and y’all report it...I will be entertained...More please😂

If she is out-of-line, her district will not re-elect her. She has a right to express her opinions.

Whoever supports her, supports terrorists

It's part of her religion.

Why are you sharing this story?

I think she wants to compete with AOC....but AOC know what she is talking about!

Perhaps interviewing her first, rather then skipping to a quick dismissive judgement.

She would not like It if anti Muslim remarks were being made! Let’s treat everyone with respect

Good start, can we also please start calling out all of the bigoted anti-Russian tweets by snobs on the left!

This is what you get when you interpret freedom of religion in the Constitution of the United States to mean more than one God. I believe that our founding fathers wrote the Constitution with a Biblical God only. The Muslim belief has no place in the U.S.

You go girl....

Wait. 'Anti-Israeli government' isn't anti-Semitic. She's Muslim and being anti-Semitic would mean she's against every Jewish prophet (ie, Jesus, Moses, Noah etc) prior to Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh). To be a Muslim, one must believe in and accept all the Messengers of God.

Law makers on both sides are bunch of AIPAC paid hypocrites.

The U.S. has always accused anyone who rightly criticize Israel as anti-semetic.. The U.S. should apologize to the Palestinians for supporting Israel's genocide of their women and children. The media should also do their job and stop supporting genocide on behalf of Israel

did you denounce GOPLeader anti-semitic tweet too?

anti-semitic is not acceptable....what did she tweet

She was careful to avoid this kind of talk while she was campaigning and wanted the support of liberal Jewish voters in her district. A few Jews still remember how it started with complaiints about money and influence...

GOP TheDemocrats - Separation of church and state, please. Religions cause wars and divisiveness.

The truth: this is anti-Muslim backlash.

Stand firm IlhanMN, don’t back down. We hold every Democrat accountable should they turn their backs on you over Israel.

notComey Lobbying should be illegal.

notComey AIPAC relentlessly pushes a pro-Israeli message on Capitol Hill & in the executive branch. They donate to pro-Israel lawmakers & candidates while seeking to defeat those it considers a threat to U.S.-Israeli relations. AIPAC is giving a lot of money!!!

Hey MSNBC are you implying that members of Congress cannot criticize foreign governments whose lobbyist give money to other members of congress to support unnecessary wars or that the fact that it’s Israel and the member of congress is Muslim & a woman.

Hamas rep finally in Congress?

“Anti-Semitic” 🤔 . Would black face be considered “racist”? Because it is racist just as her tweets are anti-Semitic !

You're only saying this because she's a Muslim.

Challenging the actions of a Nation's government and our support of them is not bigotry.

What's amazing is how no one recognizes the acute Islamophobia that leads people to assume that what she said - which is clearly in reference to out of control influence by lobbyist money in Congress - is anti-Semitic.

Oh LOOK. .another GOTCHA moment! The media isn't on anyone's side. They will tear their own mother's down if it helps ratings.

Ilhan Omar isn't just anti-Semitic in tweets, she proudly supports the BDS movement to boycott/delegitimize Israel. Does she want to boycott anyone else? No, just the Jewish people in the only Jewish state. Instead of condemning her, Pelosi put her on the Foreign Affairs Cmte.

So you can't refer to money without being called anti semitic?

Resign

Still waiting on condemnation on 'TRAIL' remark by donald.

She's from Somalia so she's semitic herself aka the originally afro asiatics. Nice try.

Rep. Omar doesn't belong in our government. She just recently became a citizen and is married to a close family member which is again our law. I read something about Sharia in her bio as well.

We are going to sit here and (rightfully) tear ourselves apart about Russian collusion in 2016, but mention that the foreign government of Israel literally has their own PAC (AIPAC) that pols from both parties are expected to bow down to and you're an anti-Semite. Got it.

Next story bro nice try

Netanyahu is as corrupt as Trump. That doesn’t mean she’s antisemitic!

'Accused'

You guys have been tweeting a string of Islamophobic articles about IlhanMN and RashidaTlaib. Rep. Tlaib, in particular, has received virulent insults, accusations, and hatred lobbed at her based on her ethnicity, and you say nothing about this. Israel is NOT Judaism itself.

Is Omar really helping (or rather- “hypnotizing”) her constituents with her tweeting drama over AIPAC? Annoying and divisive, much like a certain other 'leader' in office. Antisemitism is Antisemitism. Whether coming from the left or the right, it’s equally vile.

Religion is so bad in America that both sides will get involved when An American speaks her voice this shows how bad religion is in America

So you can't be against the policy of our, government, or any other? Tou all who want her head. How does the NRA get their supporters...money. How does pharma....money. She's not saying anything that isn't rampant in Washington. The question is; why her with the outrage😒

Time to apologize and move on!

Comments about money as it pertains to a lobbyist organization... outrageous! /sarcasm What was she thinking?

Were not Anti-Semitic

'Accused' WTH? It's a FACT!!! She has posted multiple anti-Semitic tweets.

We have a System of Legalized Bribery..

Next

Falsely accused.

We need to keep her in the spotlight or we’ll have many more of her ilk trying to destroy our country StopSharia

notComey We need to push to get all religious bias out of politics. Especially the abrahamic cults

Well she is guilty of antisemitism.... Its not just an accusation

has there ever been a politician that hasnt been criticised?

Why don't I ever see any if them denouncing occupation of Palestine or sniping unarmed pedestrians and then nurses at the fence?

Msnbc went with this picture to make her look sweet and innocent with a little girl on her shoulder. Omar supports female genital mutilation for that little girl.

Roseanne Barr was fired for far less.

What a bunch of BS. She did no such thing.

I STAND WITH ILHAN OMAR!!!

MSNBC is no friend of America & same for any member of Congress who supports Israel: 'State Terrorism on a Global Scale: The Role of Israel - INTERNATIONAL LAWLESSNESS AND THE SEARCH FOR JUSTICE'

hend amry Nocriticism of Israel isn’t anti-semitism, just like criticism of a Muslim majority state isn’t islamophobia, by default. However racist or bigoted tropes can be intentionally or unintentionally triggered in making those critiques and yes that matters-it always matters.

This is why MSNBC is trash. Saying this is anti-semitism is rank propaganda.

Because she has the balls to say what everyone knows we should be mad at her Nah no thank you

you are allowed to criticize AIPAC without being anti-Semitic. they hated a black president so much they went behind Obama's back to the GOP Congress. That's treason.

Muslims, Christians, and Jews are all part of a system of Abrahamic religion that has done nothing but destroy. All 3 Abrahamic religions need to be done away with because they have brought nothing but destruction and oppression. Allah, Jehovah, Yahweh, God, etc. doesn't exist.

This is GOP bullcrap. She complained about Pro-Israel lobbies giving money to people in congress. Does anyone seriously think this is not happening?

Did you even cover Trump mocking the genocide of indigenous peoples? Or is your goal to amplify islamophobia?

You've posted this at least twice now. Maybe you didn't like the replies to your first post? Criticizing a lobby group isn't criticizing a religion. Do some journalism.

NB4 we find out her account was “hacked.”

Did I miss your tweet about the POTUS making a trail of tears joke or nah?

Terrorist!!!

Oh dear. I hope they say anything racist or islamophobic at her.

You spelled “she sent” wrong, it’s not spelled accused of

And the Democrats and MSM are so proud of this person. I remember when they accused our president of being anti-Semite.

I wish she wouldn't have done that. Im happy to hear that Chelsea is running the intervention

fix your headline

The democrats have clearly lost their way.

Saying lobbyists give congresspeople money is not anti Semitic. What’s anti Semitic is thinking she was stereotyping Jewish people.

Might be a good time to go through GOPLeader tweets to give a little context to your story. Thanks

She should be criticized!!!

Calling out AIPAC for influencing US government isn’t anti-Semitism.

She is Muslim so yes she does stuff like this. We are here in new America where you can do what you want that's how Democrats want it. God save us from this evil.

And this is why electing people without experience has always been illogical.

Must be tough when your 'clapbacks' turn into antisemitism

This woman sucks

Yes. She is being accused of that, but they are baseless and demagogic accusations designed to keep from criticizing Israel for fear of being called an anti-Semite. What the Congresswoman said is true, and *IT IS NOT* bigotry to criticize the policies of a government.
