By Deanna Paul Deanna Paul Reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow March 2 at 11:06 AM Rep. Ilhan Omar faced new accusations of making anti-Semitic remarks Friday, this time rebuked by a senior member from her own party who says the House freshman’s words conjured a “vile anti-Semitic slur.”
Her comments came during a town hall in D.C., while speaking about progressive issues. “I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is okay for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country,” Omar said. “Her comments were outrageous and deeply hurtful, and I ask that she retract them, apologize, and commit to making her case on policy issues without resorting to attacks that have no place in the Foreign Affairs Committee or the House of Representatives,” he said.
In February, more than 20 House Democrats demanded a second apology from Omar after she suggested that Israel’s allies in Congress were wealthy Jews driven by money. Trump called for Omar to either resign from Congress or give up her seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Back up off Her! Finally got some folks speaking 'TRUTH TO POWER' and it's making all the money grubbin', lying scumbags, nervous. They are the ones who need to appologize.....This is a NEW BREED, and we the people are finally being represented, and treated as Adults!
There’s so much anti Semitisim in the gop and nothing happens to those people. But because she Muslim she gets attacked for it and they don’t
top dems are just islamophobic white supremacists.
She did nothing wrong. This 'Top Democrat' can get bent.
😟
Gitmo
Dems are falling apart.This is the beginning of an end.
VIOLENT, RADICAL MUSLIM NEEDS RO BE BANISHED FROM AMERICA,,,,,,,
Israel 🇮🇱 is vile!
The same people who are criticizing her are supporting trump and his vile words and actions. Really? Don’t we all see the crazy in our country? hypocricy
Hey RepEliotEngel were you at a poster making party with WVGOP lately? Your smears of IlhanMN sound just as ridiculous
This time, I don’t see it. Stop being lazy and just saying “anti- Semetic” - explain why you think so, how you feel it it relates to a trope & it’s effect on you. And maybe start with condemning the very personal attack on her in WV just a few days ago.
Who said hatred for black Muslim women is dead in the Dem party?
She should go!
Nancy has a new breed of cats to herd.
Likely going to be a pretty often occurrence if you have a Jew hating Muslim in the Government.
Radical Muslim’ have no place in US government!!! ❤️🇺🇸!!!
Yeah, and her people deserve a lifetime of apologies from this hypocrite nation for its contribution to their oppression! How about that?!
Good luck with this one. She’s all yours lefties. You own her hate
those defending her remain whether she is there or not
Get her out
More than an apology they need to get rid of her. But they won’t because she furthers their cause
She’d gas Jews or Christians if it was legal.
Israel is trying to censer the Israeli conversation by weaponizing the word Anti semitism. It's not going to work
Are we fooling ourselves? What freedoms? We can criticize our president but we can’t criticize foreign lobbyists? Who makes those rules ?
WAPO is like the enquirer- twist and shout. Lobbyists
The truth hurts. White Men in this legislation can say whatever the fuck they want ie. calling health care for all socialism, parading an African American around as an antiracism prop, name calling, dividing out country, guns laws executing our students, yet no apology.
Engel needs to decide what country he represents. He is feel to move to Israel and run for office there. In the mean time, he reps his district, not the Netanyahu administration. He does a disservice to real antisemitism by labeling criticism of Israel as antisemitism.
Wow! What a misleading, divisive headline. Shame on you WaPo. You should know better.
I am going to go out on a limb and say that democrat takes bribes from Israel
DevilDog4Trump
It is her right to freedom of speech, that Muslims, Blacks and Whites have a right to voice. It can't be banned just because we don't want to hear it. MR King said there is no good excuse to discriminate, so quit it. It is time to quit discrimination against words.
That’s the best way to Reelect DonaldTrump, by frustrating your own DemocratMembers ! TheDemocrats ! That’s exactly why HillaryClinton lost, more so than because of RussianCollusion !
Hey TheDemocrats HouseDemocrats criticizing AIPAC & Isreal policies isn’t antisemitic. RepEliotEngel & other AIPAC funded politicians need to back off IlhanMN RashidaTlaib AyannaPressley AIPAC CPAC
Well what do u expect from someone who married her brother?
I havent seen any condemnation from him about the death threats and islamophobic slander directed at her from official GOP members this week so he doesn't quite have the greatest moral leg to stand on
Immoral opportunist SpeakerPelosi & her puppet group TeamPelosi, as well as, the AIPAC stooge who is RepEliotEngel would have hard time to portray as Anti_semitic, the very correct minded 1st America position of IlhanMN. Many noble jews say the same:
She's one of yours Washington comPost. Omar, She's a racist.
You couldn't expect anything less, they hate Jews they hate America she was voted in to destroy United States
Rep. Omar is speaking truth, which Zionists don’t want to hear.
You call Eliot Engel a top Democrat and yet I’ve never heard of him until now.
Imagine they demand apologies for vile Islamophobic slurs.
I HATE ISRAEL AND ZIONISM. BUT,HAVE NOTHING AGAINST JEWISH PPL. IM JUST LIKE THE JEWISH ORTHODOX THAT MEAN NO JEW ARE ALLOWED TO OWN LAND OR RULE ANOTHER PERSON UNTIL MESSIAH COMES BACK!!! ANYONE SEEN MESSIAH...MESSIAH ,HELLO ARE YOU THERE...NO!!
Dems? Leave IlhanMN alone. She’s not reportedly selling nuclear arms to the 9/11 breeding ground, putting babies in cages, remaining silent as synagogues are shot up, and lying 24/7. You’ve got enough on your plate without policing her every utterance.
Of course, she is a Muslim... she used anti-Semitic slur, because she hates Israel. The American people is turning away from God, this lady should have never been elected in the first place... now all these Muslims are trying to get in power so they can change the US constitution
It’s not clear that Congresswoman is referring to Israel. She could be referring after 2016, to the GOP’s new found love of Russia. Anti-Semitism is wrong. But I’m not sure that this is an anti-Semitic remark.
This is disgusting. She is telling the truth, Israel has bought our government. Their treatment of Palestinians is reprehensible
Anti-semites apologizing for vile anti-semitism. Read on. 👇👇👇👇👇
✊🏿 ✊🏿 ATTN BLACK PEOPLE✊🏿 ✊🏿 🇺🇸 DESCENDANTS OF SLAVES 🇺🇸 ADOS is a movement demanding a specific agenda that addresses slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, convict leasing, mass incarceration & immigration The Black Agenda - Video -
The height of Islamophobia shown in case of this Congress women A Lot of anti Semitic activity noticed in whole of Europe America & Middle East world should focus on causes & that is not in this Lady or Labor Leadership In UK. Close Look at Israel needed
Democratic Party’s disintegrating, falling apart! Who’s the Boss now?
Keep the bomb sniffing dogs handy.
omar is obviously an anti-semitic racist, but I thought that was OK if you're anti-Trump
The irony in calling an Arab antisemitic is priceless!!
I am really getting tired of her Anti-Semitism. There is no place for that in Democratic party.
Keep demanding an apology she doesn't mean?
Why don't they impeach her?
We need an apology from Trump !!
I’m sensitive to anti-Semitism & see how someone could interpret her statements as such, but I truly see her criticism as being of the state of Israel & its actions toward Palestine while getting full support from the U.S. which are legitimate concerns for many, myself included.
Your party and the voters in her district elected her. Now you have to live with it. Voting for change doesn’t mean it’s right or better. But you sure got it anyway.
Don't hold your breath. She is a muslim.
Fuck that.
No more apologies, she needs to resign now! Let her go back to her terrorist roots were she belongs.
Free speech.
The genie is out of the bottle & AIPAC can't put it back. Our kids see things differently. The truth is that lobbying, whether by AIPAC, Big Pharma, the coal industry or others is legalized bribery and is bad for democracy, the environment & our health.
Don’t give it to them they are nothing but a bunch of 🤬
Does she have children from her brother?
Keep her going. Watching the Dem snake eating it’s own tail is fascinating!
This is like when an adult makes a kid say sorry. Clearly, she isn’t and is just trying to appease the left. Omar is an anti-Semite despite her regular non-apologies.
SpeakerPelosi waiting for her to be removed...
Rep Omar is correct! Problem is that status quo Dems are taking money from a Jewish lobby. Engle should give the money back!
That’s why Obama sent 70,000 immigrant Muslims to Minnesota. Expect extremism establish such backing. What thinking person is surprised?
That top Democrat should resign
“Top Democrat” I never heard of.....
The efforts being put forth to silence her is ridiculous.
Jesus Christ. Can we not separate criticism of the ISRAELI State from criticism of Judaism?
Criticism of the State of Israel =/= Anti-semitism. There is nothing anti-semitic about noting the pernicious influence of Israeli lobbying in American politics.
Please do not engage in tabloid headlines.
Oh FFS
BonaJuanita This is just wrong, wrong, wrong. Omar has to be shuffled out . . fast. MAGA
Left and Anti-Semitism, go together like chocolate and peanut butter, she's a piece of trash who does not deserve defense, she deserves getting primaried.
What is wrong with criticising lobbyists for a foreign country ?
How about fuck that.
IlhanMN hate jews it like a default for any radical Muslim. Her ideas do not conform to our society. She has no right to be in power. Minnesota is a shameful state for voting this fraud hamas supporter. GOP this woman has to be removed. She is Hitler incarnate. Enemy of Jews
Just remove her from office.
Leave the poor woman alone. What about all the crap realDonaldTrump is doing,? Y dont u worry about the root of all current racism --U!?;?!?!
It is no more anti-Semitic to criticise Israel’s gov’t than it is un-American to criticise U.S. gov’t. I’m a Jew and I have problems with AIPAC, too.
She’s an MuslimAmerican hating refugee.
Where is the outrage that Republicans tried to ban free speech if it criticized Israel? Technically, she is correct. Democrats need to work as hard protecting the amendments as the Republicans fo protecting just 2
I think her apologies are a bunch of crap like her. She needs to give up her seat, she doesn’t know how to shut her mouth.
For freaks sake, Netanyahu just got indicted. Can’t we criticize the Israeli government?
We have to get to a point where we can criticize a sovereign state and their actions without being attacked as anti-Semitic
Connect the dots people... Obama brought 700k somalis and parked them in Minnesota... this one married her brother for papers... now she’s in congress voted in by the other Muslims for Muslims in that district. We don’t need Muslims in government. MuslimBrotherhoodPlant
The Hard Drive is the computer. Check out her Hard Drive Of this Of this woman. Security Please!
Unless you're arguing that Israel is not a foreign country, I don't see what the problem is.
So...I guess republicans think that only christians get to shit on other religions.....is that about right?
How much does a country have to take from an elected official until they censure her! She is taking away from a large amount of Americans who have to listen to this BS!
For the peanut gallery - you can criticize Israel and not be antisemitic. Report why Bibi aligned with the far right.
Yeah, they need to back off this Israel thing. We can’t even point out the truth.
At what point do the Dems and the mainstream media just admit she’s a vile anti-semite?
Again? Wow she's a slow learner.
Remove from office.
Oh ffs WaPo.
Cant believe anything the post says....
She can say what she wants. Let’s talk about how America talked about Muslims after 9/11. She’s owed an apology.
I would read your stupid paper if you didn't have the pay wall up already. I guess you have zero free looks? Amazon WaPo already gets my money on Prime. I am not giving you a $1 a day. BrianFendrich1 that didn't talk long. WhamO
What nobody in Congress not Muslim critisizes Israel?
Can we just remember that people can be criticized with out being racist or prejudice. Can we just remember that over 8 white nationalist and supremacist ran for GOP and used robocols and posters to make blatant racist and anti-Semitic statements which the GOP barely condemned
She Is 👿👹🧟♀️ !!!
No. Done with apologies.
A Democratic Socialist Party independent from traditional oligarchical democrat hypocrisy is necessary. Israelis criticize Israel, but criticism of Israel in an America where Israel has bought gov. & congress, & intimidated media & businesses, is pseudo-antisemitism. Crying wolf
Omar looking like a one-termer. This isn’t sustainable. And if you want to talk about a Dem being on a “list” of easy targets for 2020, that imaginary primary opponent already has a ton of material for debates and ads.
What ban insult we are not in russia.
She should stop apologizing. She has nothing to be sorry for.
She cut a little too close to the bone, eh? Criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitic. Pointing out politicians receiving money from AIPAC, also not anti-Semitic. Doing work to support activity directly at odds with Judaic ethical principles and history? Anti-Semitic.
SATAN AND FOLLOWERS ARE HERE TO: LIE, STEAL AND KILL US...THE BIBLE.
Lord !!!!! Democrats need to get their shit together, if they do not want to lose another election! Stop fighting among you guys! Democrats should Demand to see Trump taxes !
Good. God bless Jewish people
Meanwhile Steve King gets away scott free again
Imagine 50 Omars in the house... that’s what we are looking at down the line in about 30 or so years!!! If you are a Muslim representative, do you ever believe they will be pro Israel? Will they be anti-sharia? I don’t think so!!
Netanyahu has been indicted on corruption charges & merged with a far RW racist party in an attempt to win. I have yet to see ONE Dem AIPAC flunky demand his speech to them this month be canceled!
This is nothing but a case of Republicans looking for any weak excuse to criticize our new young congresswomen! She did not state anything antisemetic! If they want to complain, I think Trump deserves plenty of criticism instead of getting off the hook for is racism!
HouseDemocrats CNN GOP SpeakerPelosi SenateGOP nytimes SenateDems AlanDersh Omar is representative of the Dem party. The whole country sees what the Dems stand for and how they hate true Americans. May every Jewish politician stand against this hatred. Shame on Omar.
Criticizing Israel does not make one anti-Semitic anymore than criticizing any country makes you anti-that country what ever that country is. No country is free from criticism and all countries should be called to account for their inhumane actions.
And yet, she’s still employed
Your headline gives the game away, guys. If there is any story here it is that Omar is being targeted with a smear campaign.
not every criticism of the nation state of Israel is anti-semetic! It seems she wants to be the only nation on Earth that cannot be corrected/commented on/boycotted or divested from.
What they hell is the matter w/ this woman? Maybe she doesn’t deserve her position! Did she wait till after getting elected before she showed her true self? What a waste!
Criticizing behavior is not racist or anti-Semist. She has this right to question their actions as does Trump to criticize countries in Africa with leaders that rule their citizens with machetes. To NOT criticize actions based on race, religion or nationality would be wrong
Somehow any criticism of Israel is wrong?
These new congressmen are so wet behind the ears. They think that they have a ‘right‘ to be foul mouthed, disrespectful, nasty, Viscous and self-righteous. Scary.
This is why Dems lose.....
Zionism is not synonymous with Judaism - there are many JewishPeople who agree with a two state solution etc. It’s not NotInMyNams
We had a 1953 law prohibiting Muslims from office, what happened ? DemoRATS ?
🖕🏻him
Top Democrat who? Please look up the definition of the word allegiance before you proceed with more of these islamophobic lies.
Forced apologies mean nothing. She believes in the Palestinian cause and from where she sits it must be frustrating when she cannot make her arguments without being accused of being a bigot
I had never heard of this guy before now and I like that these bought politicians are outing themselves while backing up her point.
Wasn’t one enough? Sometimes this get to be to much
Truth has no feelings
She has to watch her mouth or she has got to resign, 3 strikes and you are out.
IStandWithIlhan RepEliotEngel
Top Democrat isn’t on top anymore.
Fire this bigot. Her and trump can go bye bye.
Hahahaha Democrats have a problem. They have awaken the communist and given them a platform.
Be careful what you wish for sister.
She’s a disgusting human being
She is an anti-Semite
Omar is a radical foreign infiltrator in the Party and Government. The sooner the Dems understand that the sooner their party will mend.
Anyone criticizing Israel might be accused of being anti-Sematic. For a Muslim to do it, its almost certain.
One way ticket back to Somalia There she can insite anti semitic hate until the cows come home. Oh thats right there starving over there no cows
The Democrat party will reap what is sows.
I do not know why she just doesnt write a position statement re Israel and Palestine. These snippets aren't winning anybody
Netanyahu is as crooked as Drumpf. Rep Omar only gets shit because she’s Muslim.
No, she can have her opinion like Drumpt has his!
censored
I really wanted to like Congresswoman Ilhan Omar -- but she's making it tough. I know she truly doesn't think she's anti-Semitic. Just like Mark Meadows doesn't think he's racist. My nerve endings are antennae for anti-Semitism...and they are beeping like crazy here.
Dang, what about the racists in Virginia? The Democrats are just as bad as GOP in dealing with human issues.
APOLOGIZE MY ASS !!
She needs to take her hate and leave.
For what? Have yet to see white male politicans vilified for making ACTUAL antisemitic statements.
What about the poster attacking IlhanMN ? WV Republican promoting racism in the Rotunda?!
She doesn't even understand why we have a constitution, how can she even be a US politician?
Ya think?
When trouble really comes the GOP won't have a vocabulary left to define it.
Why is pointing out the truth damning to some people? I wouldn't apologize for the truth either: that the United States has been acting out religious schemes with free taxpayer money and using it to further Judeo-Christian faith based agendas, for decades, and maybe from day one.
What?!? Muslims don’t hate Jews ....... oh wait .... their entire belief system is based on blaming Jews
She is not lying so she should not apologize. Critizing Israel should not be considered anti-semetic. I wouldn't support an Apartheid style government either.
I'm only sorry until my next anti-semitic remarks. I am going to try very, very hard to stop, it is just that I can't help myself. Jew hatred was drilled into my brain since I was a child so please understand. Allahu Akbar!
Take that red white and blue color off please
Forget an apology, get IlhanMN out of our damn government. This anti-Semitic clown does not deserve to serve us. Shame on Minnesota for voting her in from the start.
She is disgusting
So let’s get this straight: criticism of a racist, apartheid regime that systematically commits genocide in support of a one-race-only “democracy” is somehow anti-Semitic. Those screaming the A word are using it as a defense mechanism to protect Israel’s atrocities.
Oh please!
Stop defending apartheid Israel literally a day after the United nations Committee of human rights issued a report on Israel who clearly speaks about crimes against humanity including killing children.... America should apologise to Palestinians for helping a terrorist country
These people doth protest to much methinks
Speaking as a Jewish guy - we've already made Jerusalem the main state (screwing Palestine) not to mention or other deals...
How much money has Engel accepted from AIPAC?
The warmongers and Zionists are going nuts. How dare she says the TRUTH and question the corrupt politicians selling themselves like whores to the highest bidder. And smear machine like this magazine enables these corrupt assholes. They should serve American people and ANSWER.
We are all against any anti-Semitic renarks. How about anti-Muslim remarks by any US senators or representatives.
Dear Richard Engel, What she said was not 'anti-semitic slur', we call that the truth.
And it will continue as long as she is in politics.
This is becoming too ridiculous.
Truth hurts. More power Omar!
She has a lot to learn. Nobody says Catholics have a loyalty to a foreign power i.e. the church and Pope or imagrants with families back home where they send money.
Did she say something anti- Israel or anti-Semitic? Can we please separate the two?
She hates this country obviously she will hate the people too
Almost certainly being coordinated by AIPAC and/or others in the lobby. It's a sustained campaign to drive Omar out of House. First rule: never criticize Israel. If you do, a chorus of braying asses will call you an anti-Semite. On cue.
The future of the Democratic party as anyone who has spent any time on a college campus in the last 20 years knows. The day will come when it will seem strange to think Jewish voters were once solid Democrats the way we wonder about African Americans being once solid Republicans.

A solid and good apology must be sincere. Rep Omar may need to repeat her sincerity to appease. Otherwise accusations will follow her like the nose on her face.
Ask for trouble and that's what you get America hate speech from forien soil
She needs ousted! She is a terrorist ... and doesn’t hide it! Why oh why did her Minnesota District vote her in?
Why only when it comes to criticizing Zionist Jews & European Jews occupation(Israel)of native Palestine since1948 in a conspiracy by colonial Britain the occupying power then Jewish lobbies &congress& media they control intimidate whoever stand in their face with”anti Semitism”
Minorities in Congress and women in Congress are getting death threats daily because of lies...fake fox news and right wing terrorists That is the real threat
AKA Top Democrat seeks attention by publicly challenging more popular freshman Democrat.
You know people like her give government a bad name I mean she's a part of the Muslim Brotherhood why is she in our offices why is she being elected into Congress she is a blooming idiot
criticising the Israel government’s policy is LIKE criticising ANY OTHER GOVERMENT’s policy Nothing to do with being anti-SEMITIC or anti Jewish . I like to draw attention to the fact that Jews and Arabs share the same lineage and are both Semite .
So much bigotry from Democrats
Don’t do it. There is no reason for it.
. defending decent Israelis and Jewish Americans from crooked Israelis and Jewish Americans isn't anti-semitism. It's the will of God. AMDG
Ok this one is ridiculous. That was not anti-semitic. This white man is trying to shut her up about everything considering Israel and Palestine. Stand your ground Omar!
Lobbyists are not a race or a culture.
These are the games that are played to keep tradition systems in place. Anyone who questions or challenges the status quo is immediately othered and targeted so they’ll get in line or walk away.
Rep Omar...a gift for the Republicans !
While the other side does its damage too.....
If you talk about Jews, money, and evil in the same day it’s anti-Semitic. Even if it is to say an Israeli lobby group gives money to US pols to overlook corrupt and evil deeds.. in some bullshit way = Israel money is evil. Maybe because it’s a Muslim saying it?
Gaius_Publius The post is obviously up to their over the top Neoliberal slander everyone else campaign again. They are becoming right wing propaganda.
Oh my, someone yelling fire in this political climate? Unheard of. The only racism here is directed at Omar, and you know it.
I didn't hear IlhanMN make an anti-Semitic slur.
Unless this guy has been asleep for 12 months, this lunatic who would rather have Maduro for an ally than Israel, needs to get off his ass and condemn this woman as Anti semitic.
We going to need a sliding scale by what constitutes fair criticism and what is antisemitism. Because of saying anything critic of Israel in any way shape or form is antisemitic then we have ceded our ability for rational thought and made ourselves beholden.
Waiting on Trump's apology first. Won't hold my breath as he is so full of BS Pride that he will never ever be a humble man. Ever.
Criticism is not anti-Semitic.
lizpeek Apology? If a Republican said that, the demand would be to Resign.
Must be removed
My 2 cents? She was right, and she is owed an apology. Chew on that.
Shameful. Not anti-semetic.
RepEliotEngel sit way down
RepEliotEngel shut up, you coopted drama queen. Seriously. She said nothing even remotely offensive. Your reaction, on the other hand, speaks volumes.
Could care less about her skin color or religious affiliations. Her words sound anti-Semitic. If it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck it’s a duck.
bold attempt by whoever this guy is to make himself briefly relevant
What kind of stupid apology? How many times has the president apologized for calling some countries shit holes?and separating kids from there parents?this whole nonsense is becoming unbearable and extremely pointless
Love it, these Commi/ISIS SOB's trying to pass as Democrats are turning the party to scorched earth
Why? She apologized and she is no where near anti-semetic like some of her co-workers
acphillips59 She only regrets getting called out. She is what she is, we all know what she is; a vile, extremist Islamic Anti-Semite and anti American. She will continue to embarrass the already morally bankrupt democrat party.
This vermin in the poster child of the modern Democrat Party
Jews are not angels!
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be indicted on corruption charges. crimes against Palestinians should be included.
whitemen are going to run this chick outta congress
She did not say anything anti-Semitic. Israel is a country and you can be critical of the policies any government has.
How to
Never apologize
She shouldn’t apologize to anyone. When money to foreign countries clouds judgement, it needs to be stated. We don’t we have clean water in Flint, MI but still fund other nations, including Israel.
Can we just sew the rest of her hoodie across her face cover that up as well .
Did she actually do it though? No.
Yep, she's a winner. Racists gonna racist.
SenSchumer DNC HouseDemocrats Stop with this harassment! Anti-Zionist is not anti-Jew Israel is the most RacistApartheidState In the world BDS FreePalestine
Criticizing the state of Israel is not anti-semitic, change my mind.
Why don’t the cowards ask trump for an apology for saying the Nazis are fine people , It’s all about her being a black and a Muslim . Why don’t they just take the mask of racism off
She should be made to resign
There is nothing wrong with what she said. Last I checked, Israel was a foreign country!
Enough already! Plus she got a point!
Am I wrong, or was the statement for which she already apologized, not completely devoid of veracity?
The Democrats are not only racist but they now have a growing anti-Semitic problem, too. 😲 StopDemocratHate
Bye bye vile antisemite.
What slur? The article doesn't say... This looks like a lot of piling on just to put pressure on her (from a colleague, no less)
🙄
Eff that noise. RepEliotEngel can take a seat. Better yet, he can get a primary and lose his seat. IStandWithIlhan and support BDS .
Wasn't aware she once 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 said some freshly coded stuff. Was too busy reading about the most recent suicide bombing in Somalia. The struggle of innocent civilians in Mogadishu. They live under constant oppression.
Top Democrats can kiss my äss
As an American Jew I can tell you I clearly understand the difference between anti-Israel and anti Semitic. I stand with rep. Omar and say both sides of the aisle need to wake the f—k up and stop being manipulated by AIPAC.
Good luck with that Your side have made damn sure only whites can be deplatformed 4expressing negative views on the basis of race, religion, sexuality etc POC are immune, largely because of the innoculation u &other left wing propaganda orgs have been providing 4yrs Reap it...
Friends of the enemy are the enemy. Lest we forget, CAIR is HAMAS.
She said that Israeli advocates are pro Israel, how the hell is that anti-Semitic?
Amazing that there is so much effort llately trying to abrogate people's First Amendment RIGHTS merely because they disagree with the other's view. Freedom includes NO HERD THINK.
I’m confused. What did she say that was anti-Semitic?
This is ridiculous. Let her speak her mind. Can the 'powerful Congressman' not handle a little challenge to 'accepted speech'?
What did she say? And no, I'm clicking your website until you fix your headlines. 😐
She should just resign that would be best for America
Politics is so tainted, we all better off living in an anarchy at this point
Accusing everything that comes out of IlhanMN’s mouth of being antisemitic is ACTUAL BIGOTRY.
Engel is now a “top Democrat” Good thing he is not conflicted himself.
This was a completely different situation. No problem here.
Let the racist in the white house apologize first. I'll wait.
RepEliotEngel: Did you demand apologies from Chuck Schumer & Andrew Cuomo when they openly, unambiguously, & despicably slurred Arabs & Muslims? No, so sit down.
Cultures melding together is tough as you bring your bias taught from birth with you
She is not wrong, and there are loads of Israeli lobbyists proving her point every day in Washington.
This article does not report a single statement made by Rep. Omar on Friday that could be viewed as remotely anti-Semitic, much less a vile slur. Attacks like Engel’s risk losing support for Israel from a lot of Americans, including many Jews.
can't they just censure her and send her home?
Was this Dem a former Republican?
I wish Republicans ate at each other like democrats do. MSNBC
I can be against that criminal Netanyahu, and not support all actions of Israel, and not be anti-semitic. That's a fact, deal with it.
Why is it acceptable for particular people in Congress to speak freely and others not?
They need to leave her alone! She is trying to bring us the same success the U.K. has experienced with their vast amount of Islamic neighborhoods and civic groups! She has every right to hate the Jews!
If you are Muslim you are not allowed to criticize Israel. Yet the corrupt PM of Israel has been indicted for various crimes
I think it's time to curb the mouths, sit down and make some laws. That's what they get paid for - that's what they are hired to do. Now if they can't do the job, because we know folks like IlhanMN and AOC are big mouths and not lawmakers, then get out. Period.
Can someone explain why what she said isn’t true? Any criticism of Israel is labeled anti-Semitic, where was the uproar over white boys chanting Jews will not replace us? This is simply an excuse to bash a Muslim and win some islamaphobic brownie points
This terrorist is an embarrassment to our country.
How many of you understand that her apology was for hurting feelings, and not for the substance of what she means about the Israel lobby having too much influence? And she’s right. They do.
She is an anti semite. That much is clear.
Just an apology? Yep she's on the lib team that's for sure LOL... you guys are something else Hypocrites like none other lol that's the difference we accept Trump's flaws but Obama had none LOL
.RepEliotEngel can pound concrete. Criticizing Israel policies is not anti-Semitic. Stop targeting IlhanMN with your anti Muslim hate, dammit!
Except she is telling the truth. Israel owns our government - bought and paid for.
Nope
“Stop calling me an anti-Semite”, said one local anti-Semite after saying anti-Semitic things.
Better get more educated Congresswoman Omar or they will hang you out to fry☀️🐣
If everyone could stop gaslighting and conflating the country Israel and its politics, with the people Israel and the land itself, that would be great. It's actually offensive. The distinction needs to be made and respected. Torah even distinguishes it. IlhanMN RepEliotEngel
It should be crystal clear by now that TheDemocrats are the party of Sharia, socialism, illegal aliens, and antisemitism.
LMAO. I wonder if she hates Israel or America more?
she wants us dead
She is vile.
She definitely hates Israel.
These republican bullies are doing allthey can to intimidate harass and bully the newly elected females
Big up Omar.
It is time for a purge of pro GOP politicians from the Democrat party. The so called centrists do not share democrat values. It is time for them to go.
Anti-Israel is NOT Antisemitic
Engel, who ever he is...is he a member of the American jewish congressÉ
No way. F**k him.
Get her out!!!!!!!
I see a pattern forming on one issue, her hatred of Israel and people of Jewish faith!
This is getting ridiculous
Nah...she should pass on that
Omar, Tahlib, AOC, etc...give time time and attention and within two elections the far left will control the party...is that what you want?
Vile? Let’s not get carried away
She never had it so good.
Media outlets fanning stuff like this to shut down strong women of color who speak against corruption is what’s wrong in this country!
Show me the lie, though. AIPAC and groups like them are driving this backlash; they won't stand any criticism of the apartheid ethnostate that Israel has become. Those military contracts are just too lucrative. Omar shows exceptional courage standing up to these lobbies.
Oh please, Omar has only been the constant target of anti-Muslim hatred & its disconcerting that this new hit piece comes out day after she was targeted by racists in the WVGOP. Between this coverage and the constant fawning over Schultz I’m about to cancel my subscription.
Back to her marriage concerns.
So being critical of Israel makes you anti-semitic? What
OGMAFB
I think RepEliotEngel might be a GOP in sheep’s clothing!
What? So if you wear a hijab and are Muslim you are automatically a terrorist? So any one professing Christianity is automatically from the Westboro Baptist Church? What the serious f
The absolute hate people have for her is rooted in white supremacy and hypocrisy. Go hate your momma please!
It would not be politically correct to force a minority to apologize for a slur made to another minority, or if a minority slurred a white person, but watch out if a white person says something about a minority. 🤔
In my case never vote for someone if not it is originally blood 🇨🇦 or 🇺🇸 etc. But if that leaders ate from foreign countries from where come with brainwashing and target our culture later not way people . so be careful people.
Yijabi should shut up and focus on the length of her Yejab.

She is not a good representative for Muslim-Americans. Some of the new young reps have the faulty (imho) view of “Imperial” America, that goes around bullying countries into democracy. It is a sad short sighted historical viewpoint.
Woah this post really brought out the Nazi sympathizers lol
She’s going to do whatever she wants. This is the America you have given us Dems. They don’t care about the Jewish. The old guard is dead. They do what they want. Thanks for this.
Too little, too late
Neither the Dems nor CAIR will defend Congresswoman Omar because she's a Muslim Black woman. Period. Had Madame Speaker uttered the same words, the press would have stamped her feminist card and named her Person of the Year. Instead, we have the same oppressive double standard.
Nah her comments were fine. If you are that high on Israel, by all means move to Israel. Otherwise, lets just focus on the US, mkay?
Elliott Engel is compromised?
Enough. I don’t see the uproar from the right towards Steve King’s racism and the likes of him!
At some point they're going to have to accept that she's not ACCIDENTALLY making anti-semitic comments, but is in fact an anti-semitic person. And, such a person does not belong on the Foreign Affairs Committee for the United States House of Representatives!
Can someone clear up something. Israel is nation, Judaism is a religion. How is any mention of Israel antisemitic? Just asking.
She should be kicked out of office!
Wow!! Reading these comments its clear the Democrats are the racists. Talk about projection!!! leftistantisemites
RepEliotEngel How much money do you get from Pro Israel groups ? How can calling out the influence of outside money in politics be anti-semitic ? How can telling the truth about the outside money and where it comes from be anti -semitic?
Israel is criminal in it's treatment of the Palestine People, the AG is indicting the PM for corruption. People who are not afraid to speak truth to power are going speak out against all wrong doing. Under the current set of circumstances sensitivities have to take a back seat.
She's going to learn the hard way. Just as many others have and the FAKE POTUS hasn't. Just because we have a Constitutional right of freedom of speech doesn't mean there aren't consequences for what you say.
Her “apology” tour is getting out of hand. She hates Jews. It’s as simple as that...
Just in case you didn't know, if you don't 100% support Netanyahu in his new corruption case, you are an anti-Semite. Doesn't even matter if you yourself are Jewish.
That's true . she born in a foreign country or her family was immigrants to America. Also they have in their own blood hatred & Islam to achieve positions to later attack American people with their ideology. That can happened in 🇺🇸 or any others countries. Eyes open.
They never stop their racism plus islamophobia against her and likes! They may use some other black people against her! Now they say she is like people who were behind September 11!!
Engel's racism is out of control.
Where are the top Dems to demand the W VA Reps apologize for their bigoted poster that calls Rep. Omar a 9/11 terrorist?
.I don't know her heart but I do know that criticizing Israel's behavior does not make you an antisemite.
Anti semitism shouldn’t be a badge you just hold up each time to prevent criticism of the state of Israel.
Condemn it... Obama used that magical word all the time, did nothing about the issue.. he would just say I condemn that and move on..

This “top Democrat” is an idiot, whoever it may be. Not spending my time reading old, unimportant news.
She has a point, though...
Pull the plank out of your own supremacist eyes first, hypocrites.
Israel is a bipartisan pet. Both parties have vowed to protect it.
Establishment democrats feeling the heat. Their time is up!!!!
That B.... gotta go.
I find it funny the guy who keeps calling her out is a guy who take money from Israel lobbying groups. Why are you doing a article about that . You know RepEliotEngel gets more money from those pro Israel groups than any other Democrat?
FUCK HIM. And that's that on that.
*says Pro-Israel Lobbyists are paying congress to be pro israel* *gets accused of being anti semitic*
Please explain how criticizing foreign monetary influence in our elections is anti-Semitism.
She is an anti-Semite. She is a Somalian refugee/immigrant. She is a Muslim. She hates America. She hates Jews. She hates Israel. Welcome to the modern Democrat party! And yet they say conservatives and Republicans are the Nazis!!!!
It is shameful I think that the Democrats are so blind to the dark side of Israrl.
She should demand an apology from Mr Engel. All these allegations of Anti-Semitism are leveled toward her solely because she is Muslim.
If the new rule is to make everyone how makes hidden or blind statements that are manufactured into racists or antisemitic then the line of apologies doesn’t start or stop with Omar.
She scares them.
