Ilhan Omar was censured three times in congress for being Antisemitic, why is anyone surprised she would have minimized a jewish students experience? It's in her nature to do so, to be critical of Jewish Americxans and question whether thier loyalty is to the US or Israel (while she, herself, has expressed Loyalty to Somalia above the US which is a violation of her oath of Office and oath of Citizenship.) We tolerate Antisemities in ciongress because American's have no spine to stand up to them and bar them from being elected even as State Governments move to prevent a Former president from Running for office due to implied charged of insurrection. Ilhan Omar should have been impeached and removed from office a long time ago.

Without question if there were a protest against any other minority group from Blacks, LGBTQ, Latinos, American Indianians, etc, the protest would have been shut down immediately and everyone involved would have been immediately expelled. There would be zero tolerance for this type of hate. You should have everyone's vote from northern Sierra Nevada and northeastern suburbs of Sacramento, stretching south to D Valley.
