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. 6 2 Link to comment
Archy1221 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Omar and Talib are anti semitic AND the MM generally gives them a pass or at least doesn’t treat them the same way as others who say the same garbage. 1 Link to comment

That’s true, and since you’re aware of that you should know as well as anyone that those two are definitely anti-Semitic. 2 Link to comment

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. 2 1 Link to comment

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? Link to comment

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. 1 1 Link to comment

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. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/03/01/ilhan-omar-anti-semitic-slur-1199495 1 1 1 Link to comment
