Oh, by the way, speaking of Ms. Omar, does anyone know exactly what she's been saying that has so many people upset? She's Muslim, so she probably is anti-Semitic. But I don't know exactly what she's been saying. Has she been making remarks about Israel and the actions of the Israeli government, or have her comments specifically been aimed at the Jewish religion and/or Jewish people in general? I ask for a couple of reasons. First, I personally do not regard criticism of Israel or its government to be synonymous with anti-Semitism. IMO governments are fair game for all the criticism that can be leveled at them. Second, it is my opinion that Israel does have outsized influence on the actions of our government, much more influence than it deserves to have.
Agree. But remember, anyone who criticized anything Obama was deemed a racist.
Yeah, I Googled “population of greater Minneapolis” and it gave me the 3.4 million figure.
Let’s just put it this way, if she’s not anti-Semitic, she’s not doing anything to prove it in the way she talks. She obviously has never criticized Jewish people directly, just Israel itself, but every critique is filled w pretty age old anti-Semitic conspiracies (Israel is “hypnotizing” people, follow the Benjamins, dual nation allegiance). Hell, David Duke even said he agreed w her on Israel. She just needs to stop talking about it for a bit.
She also pushed to allow her to wear a hijab while in session saying she still practices her religion. You, know, the anti-gay, anti-feminism, anti-Israel one. Yet she's spoken out for gays and women, so is she really practicing?
Yes, and Jewish NGOs across the western world (not just the US) have been leading the push to import Muslim migrants and refugees — like Omar.
It was inevitable this would backfire at some point.
Isn't one of the democrats big hard-on issue---a push for separation of church and state everywhere?
