Omar and Talib seem to get away with them….I guess cause they are in government jobs.

 

 

Being anti-semitic and being critical of the nation of Israel aren't the same thing.

 

It's important you understand that because that's a pretty simple distinction that elementary school students can understand.

That’s true, and since you’re aware of that you should know as well as anyone that those two are definitely anti-Semitic.

I'm not putting it past them.  I've actually spent the last 5-10 minutes "googling' for anti-Semitic things they've said.  I've come up empty so far.

 

Plenty of things against the nation of Israel.  Nothing about the Jewish people though.

So, covert racism doesn’t apply when it’s the other way around? Noted.

Huh?

 

So when folks complain about the socialist government of Venezuela causing all kinds of problems, they are really talking about those pesky Latinos...

 

Noted.

You just agreed and affirmed that being anti-semitic and being critical of the nation of Israel aren't the same thing.

 

@funhusker tried finding examples of being anti-semitic and has so far only found examples of being critical of the nation of Israel. I also just spent some time looking for examples of the former and only finding examples of the latter. 

 

So I and others are curious what is leading you to attribute statements seemingly related to the nation state to instead be secretly referring to Jewish people in a racist way?

Some of their comments in the past are more than being critical of Israel. I do not know them personally, but if were to place a bet, I would bet they are. To be fair, some of their Democrat colleagues have condemned their comments....probably to save votes.

Which comments though?  I seriously can’t find them.

If I must look I will. It’s been awhile now. I think I posted one from Omar not too long ago. Pelosi probably reigned them in from pissing off Jewish Democratic supporters.

 

Edit: well that didn’t take too long, although I am not sure this is a good example. It just happened to point out a couple instances where fellow Dems played the anti Semitic card on Omar. Politicians are good at playing whatever cards they feel like whether they apply or not.
