I feel like the term "antisemit" is being misused. Antisemitism is a real evil, and people are being hurt. So when some politicians start misusing the term to silence legitimate conversations, people start losing sympathy, which is detrimental for the real victims of antisemitism. Therefore, it's important when Jewish people make clear that Zionism is not = to Judaism.

To all the fellow Americans, this freak so called "Ilhan Omar" don't have any respect towards America. Because - Islam is a closed corporation and the distinction that it makes between Muslims and non-Muslims is a very real , very positive and very alienating distinction. The brotherhood of Islam is not the universal brotherhood of man . It is the brotherhood of Muslims for Muslims only . There is a fraternity, but it's benefit is confined to those within that corporation. For those who are outside the corporation, there is nothing but contempt and enmity. The second defect of Islam is that *it is a system of social self-governament and is incompatible with local self-government, because the allegiance of a Muslim does not rest on his domicile in the country which is his but on the faith to which he belongs* . To the Muslim ibi bene ibi patria (where it is well with me , there is my country) is unthinkable . Where ever there is the rule of Islam, there is his own country. In other words , Islam can never allow a true Muslim to adopt any country (America) as his motherland and regard the people of that country (Americans) as his/her kith and kin . *the allegiance of a Muslim does not rest on his domicile in the country which is his but on the faith to which he belongs .*

Larry Lewinsohn Someone isn’t an anti Semite because they criticized the Israeli govt. or the Israel lobby. She didn’t, but even if you criticized Israelis for example supporting the bloodthirsty bigoted far right thief that is Netanyahu, that STILL isn’t anti Semitic. Anti semitism means being racist or religiously bigoted against Jews. It’s not a subjective feeling. It’s not “oh it vaguely could potentially be a reference to this old trope”. What don’t you get about that? And do you think that Ben Shapiro is anti Arab for saying “Arabs like to blow things up and live in sewers, Jews like to build things”? Or have you abandoned any pretense of intellectual consistency or logic for hateful tribalistic cynical manipulative fake victimhood smearing of others to further Israeli interests no matter how it’s done or who it hurts?

[@eleSDSU]

@@Unclejamsarmy I'm going to address both of your comments here for simplicity's sake. First, Benjamin is not only a Jewish name, is the name of one of the 12 tribes and by chance I happen to be a Jew who is called Benjamin, to give you a sense of how Jewish the name Benjamin is it would be accurate to say that is as Jewish as Peter is Christian, but to the point, your ignorance about Judaism and the racist trope she used does not lessen the fault. Now to the main thing, *yes I totally agree*, criticizing the Israeli gov is not anti-Semitic, I am in disagreement with it in many many things and that is not my issue with her, it is the use of a racist stereotype and this is not a thing she invented, she is using an old anti-Semitic line, you saying “oh it vaguely could potentially be a reference to this old trope” is like saying that to a black person after they see someone in black-face, it is evidently racist. *I don't think Ben Shapiro is anti-Arab, I know he is,* the guy is a fucking extreme right wing asshole. You think we all Jews think the same? This has nothing to do with *what* she said and all with *how* she said it you fucking racist thicko, I agree that Bibi is a war-loving piece of shit exactly like Hamas' Khaled Mashal, they two are using the people of Israel, Palestine and several other countries in an open-ended conflict because fanatics, as I said before, this is not about Israel, this is about anti-Semitism and remember this is not about feelings, this is about dehumanizing a group making them vulnerable.

People whose lives were standing still all due to both parties, Nancy included, taking donor money and promising not to make too big of changes and to work across the aisle, which the GOP rarely does since Gingrich raised the battle flags during Clinton's administration. Other than the wall, I have rarely witnessed this senator making any meaningful progress for the country due to her centrist display. Yes, there are antisemites on both sides, but one side courts antisemitism more regularly, unless of course it means money or pretending to coddle the interests of their conservative base. I support Israel's sovereignty and security, but not at the cost of continuing the human rights abuses against the Palestinians who would not or were not allowed into Jordan. They are prisoners of war for all practical purposes. They cannot leave to go anywhere in the world, but yet while staying, they grovel for food, water, medical supplies, and their children have spotty education due to the conflicts. Clearly identified medical personnel were shot yards away behind the security of fences and walls by sharpshooters, because they were giving assistance to those shot merely because they were throwing rocks. Rocks thrown out of frustration versus high powered weapons Meanwhile more and more land is being built upon after being bombed, I mean leveled for lucrative real estate, in places they were not designated. It is a slow but deadly genocide of the Palestinian people whom the Israeli government and orthodox religious leaders deem as savages.

There was very little respect. They couldn't build or repair their churches, they weren't allowed to ring bells, they paid a Jizya extortion and they weren't permitted to rule in positions of power. I hardly call that respect. Atheist like me were either burnt alive, or charged with apostasy and beheaded. But we live in a modern society with secular rules...I aim to keep them that way.

My home, my state, sent her to Congress. Those who see this amazing woman as an antisemitic, dont understand the meaning behind the word. She is not. Fighting for a two-state solution is not antisemitism. That is a recognition on her part both states have the right to exist, and so attacking her being antisemitic is simply backwards discrimination against her. Cherry picking comments and making up crap to try and put a label on someone whom they just hate, most likely because of her faith and because she is an immigrant. That line of thinking: is disgusting. And not the American way. I am proud of my state for having elected her to Congress. VERY proud. And whats more, for her being assigned to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, was a SPOT ON choice. We need more people like her, willing to state the hard truths, no matter the blow back they might get from fear-mongers and the misinformed. Ilhan Omar is a national hero, and I hope one day she will be recognized in full for her contribution to our country she has fought for and made, and her unwavering dedication to the Constitution. She is my representative from our shared home of the State of Minnesota, the one place on Earth with more Somalis than Somalia itself. I am beyond proud of this woman. And OUR home, hers and mine, for lifting her up and giving her the chance to serve our country in the halls of Congress. Go, Ilhan, go. Keep it up, never give in, never give up.

Tlaib used a copy gifted to her from a close friend, while Omar used a copy originally owned by her grandfather" (wikipedia) I personally find all religions annoying, to put it mildly.

But I know enough to know that every time Israel has acted violently against Gaza, it has been purely retaliatory, with as minimal collateral damage as possible. I should think that a truly evil regime like the one in Venezuela, or NK or Syria would have destroyed Gaza, knowing that the UN is a decrepit, old, bureaucratic mess where nothing gets done.

I'll concede that there are people in Hamas that are no angels, but the sheer dichotomy of death on opposing sides simply sickening. There is no excuse for Israeli snipers to shoot at toddlers, or for soldiers to block, physically harrass or obstruct CLEARLY MARKED first responders responding to civilians wounded by gunfire. In addition, I find Netanyahu's attempts to "annex" parts of Palestine abhorrent to the highest extent. However, ultimately I can only let you be the judge of any truth or lack thereof that you find in my claims, as well as the meaning you take away when you see the evidence of what I have stated. Good day sir.

@@SubtitledArabicSongs I think j Corley is left leaning. There's radicals on both sides and socialism is a joke as much as racisim and every other ism behavior is.

[@SubtitledArabicSongs]

@@maxpower3892 their politics is irrelevant. And I agree that there are radicals on both sides, it just so happens however that most people on the right side are radical hacks, hence the inability to name any one of them that isn't an outright liar/racist. Trying to claim that racism, a putrid ideology of supremacy and violence, is equivalent to "socialism and other isms" is dumb. Capitalism (which is also an ism) with the unequal societies it creates can also be criticized for being "a joke" however, just like socialism which attempts to create equal societies, it isn't on the same level or even the same plane as being a bigot/racist.

Representative Ilhan Omar: She had to escape Somalia to have a decent life!
