I'm Jewish and I'm still waiting for any evidence that she's anti-Semitic. This is all based on the (itself racist) assumption that it is somehow anti-Semitic to ever dare criticize Israel.
Calling somebody an anti-Semite with some fake award show even.... with nothing to back up why she won. Yeah. Knowing Omar's background... that's how Islamophobic works for sure. I dunno how you can not spot that. If you watch that vid. It starts off with the dual loyalty thing. Than again... AIPAC stands for America - Israel bla bla bla. 2 nations, 2 loyalties. Not Omars fault. If them lot do not want to be accused of dual loyalties, than don't be in a dual loyalty organisation.
The question is, why is she so obsessed with criticizing Israel? The hardships she experienced as a child resulted from a civil war in her own, 100%-Muslim, home country, by her own people. Israel had nothing to do with it, and there wasn't a Jew within a thousand miles of her before she came to the US, and, if a Jew did get close to her in that part of the world, they would've been quickly killed by Jew-hating Muslims. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/tying-ilhan-omars-antisemitism-to-her-overseas-roots Even after she came to the US, she probably had very little contact with Jews, and she's never even come within a thousand miles of Israel in her entire life. So, why is she so critical of Israel? It just seems a bit suspect.
I care about that about as much as I care about why some conservatives are so obsessed with criticizing Soros. Could it be racism? Eh, maybe. I'd need evidence before saying so. Same goes for her case. This shouldn't be a controversial concept.
She responds to the US - Venezuela relationship. The 15 bucks an hour wage. The medicare. Immigration. LGBT rights. You need to do a better job with accusing her to be actually obsessed with criticizing Israel.
] She has more than just hate for Israel(and she is obsessed with criticizing Israel, her Twitter and political history make it obvious) she is also obsessed with hating the US, and praising the US's enemies, no matter how heinous and evil they are.
If you did care, and you were at all curious about her background, and if you were willing to consider the evidence, you'd see that she is from a part of the Muslim world that is steeped in hatred for the Jews, and there is every indication from her life's behaviour that she is exactly the product of Jew-hating indoctrination starting from a very early age that you'd expect.
She should post on Stormfront, find herself some kindred souls. After the various shades of white racist and Muslim racist, finish off the Jews, they can have a go at each other.
Turns out capable of critical thought, rather than lazily, slavishly chanting the "If you Muslim you hate da jooooz" cultism. Buying your argument would require a level of deliberate self deceit that I just can't muster.
More slavish nonsense that requires people set thought and reason to the side for the sake of "Everyone who disagwees with me is a Naziiiiiiii" BS.
Don't try and make a caricature of me. I am well aware that there are many Muslims that don't hate Jews, and it's very obvious that Ilhan Omar is not one of them. There is ample evidence of her background being rooted in a place of extreme hatred of Jews, and her long and storied history proves that she's the expected product of just such a background. Plenty of evidence, but you've made it perfectly clear that you have no interest in considering anything that goes against your deliberate self deceit.
Yet that was the entire basis of your last argument. Why? So "obvious" that you can't provide evidence. Who (besides me) could have predicted that? Yet the only aspects of her background that you point to are 1) She's a Muslim and 2) She criticizes Israel . . . which anyone with two braincells to rub together realize doesn't make you anti-Semitic. So much evidence that you can't provide a shred of it. Amazing trick. As adorable as it is self-reflective.
All things being equal, Jews who are regular observers are more Jewish than those that might have been born Jewish, but celebrate Christmas and Easter and don’t know what a menorah is. Judaism is a religion, culture and in a way, a race.
The far right has a massive problem with women, the non white, and Muslims. She got all 3 combined. So you know. Combine that and fake news... there you go. Suddenly she got all these "obsessions". Sure. lol
