Wow. They just "became" one. That is so scary and disturbing. One day they liked Israel and then they became anti-Jewish. Poof. Cuz Trump said they did. That's horrifying.concordtom said:

Who believes in this simplistic universe?
Who does not have the ability to discern the difference between real discussion about AMERICAN policy as it relates to the Middle East and yes Israel versus anti-Semitic?
Again, it's all cover and boorish simple minded propaganda for the lizard brain. And completely ironic given that all white supremacy and holocaust denial is amidst the Trump supporters. His gaslighting is way too effective because the crazy drives me friggin' crazy. I can't believe I am living in a country where our leader talks like this, we have to hear lies every day, and a huge number of our citizens operate as if under Big Brother's spell.

No rational person believes that Democrats are antisemitic given the Trump's comment concerning Charlottesville after the Nazis marched with torches in their hands despicably chanting that "Jews will not replace us." Wasn't Trump that said, "there were good people on both sides". THERE ARE NO GOOD NAZIS, JUST LIKE THERE ARE NO GOOD KKK MEMBERS!
I think Trump is anti-semitic and Omar is anti-semitic. There is no reason both can't be true. For whatever reason, anti-semitism has a lot of staying power. The fact that there are so few Jewish people left hasn't managed to eradicate the prejudice.
For what it's worth I don't think that either the Democratic Party or the Republican Party are anti-semitic but they both harbor those types.
I think maybe anti-semites have cover because the perception is thst Jewish people are doing well for themselves.
Just as an example, I was watching the flat earth documentary Behind The Curve the other night and *spoiler alert* it's not uncommon for these troglodytes to pin the vast "round earth conspiracy" on Jewish conspirators. Like seriously, even the worlds dumbest and most comical conspiracy manages to rely on anti-semitism.

I'm not sure about either of these. Omar is definitely anti-Israel, but I'm not sure that definitely means anti-semitic (and really, I think the conflation of those two things is a big part of the problem). She could be, but the evidence is light at the moment, IMO.Unit2Sucks said:

Trump, I'm not sure he gives a damn about Jews one way or the other. He's comfortable associating with anti-semitic types when it suits his purposes, but that's more about Trump's toxic self-interest. I'm not sure I detect any specific dislike of Jews. (By contrast, I think he does display more directly and consistently negative views of blacks and Hispanics.)
I was imprecise in my comments and you are correct in your description of Trump and Omar as anti-semitic and as a result these elements are in both parties. Perhaps the only difference is one person is POTUS and represents this country to the world and one is a freshman member of Congress and represents her district. This doesn't excuse her comments at all. Racism of any kind should be stamped out and buried in a grave. This includes comments made by certain Republicans regarding George Soros, Democratic Congressmen who deal in stereotypes, and a President that has made racist comments about Blacks, Africans, Mexicans, Central Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Jews.Unit2Sucks said:

Sometimes I am amazed at how some refuse to acknowledge facts and/or science and choose to deal in conspiracy theories such as the moon landing, 9/11, vaccinations, Manafort leading an otherwise blameless life, the world being flat, or others that are more insidious.

It's bs what the Israeli state is doing to the West Bank Palestinians.
It's about time someone in congress spoke up about it.
Hopefully she learns how to do so better!

"Jews will not replace us"??
If they had chanted "illegal aliens from Mexico will not replace us" I'd have at least understood it. Or "Chinese". Or Indians.... but "Jews"?
It was quite bizarre.

Trump frequently peddles in Jewish stereotypes and is a classic careless racist. I don't think he's joining aryan brotherhood but I do believe he is anti-semitic. The fact that he loves his Jewish grandchildren (which lets be honest he doesn't really care about anyone other than himself) doesn't mean he's not prejudiced against some Jewish people.
As for Omar, I don't know enough about her but she's smart and yet has said anti-semitic things on multiple occasions. Why would you say she's just anti-Israel? I understand those are two separate things but that doesn't mean she can't be both. Plenty of people are. Would you defend Trump and say he's not anti-Muslim, he's just anti-Iran?
I think it's pretty common for Jewish people to be anti-Muslim and Muslim people to be anti-semitic. To believe otherwise would be to ignore reality.

Because as far as I can tell, just about everything Omar said that has been slammed as "anti-semitic" is also directly about Israel and/or its political lobby in the U.S. In her case, I don't think I've seen anything that can clearly separate one thing from the other, and so I'm not sure there is any actual hatred of Jewish people behind her clear dislike of Israel the country. There could be, of course that's possible. I'm just not certain. If you've seen stuff that is more categorically anti-Jewish from Ilhan Omar, I'd be happy to look at it.Unit2Sucks said:

As for Trump, well, he didn't only call for a ban on people from Iran, he literally called for a ban on Muslims. Those were his words, from early in the campaign. Then as President, one of the first things he implemented was a travel ban on a bunch of countries, all of which were majority-Muslim. I'd say the track record is much clearer in his case.
This isn't her first rodeo. Again, I'm not accusing her of being a vile anti-semite but I think people are going out of their way to defend her when there is no reasonable basis to do so. All we know is she's made questionable comments in the past and present.

The wrist-slap might not have come at all, had this been Omar's first offense. But the Minnesota representative has faced backlash before for remarks pertaining to Israel.

When the tweet resurfaced in 2018, Omar, a Somali refugee, defended her statement by arguing that the two were not equivalent: "Drawing attention to the apartheid Israeli regime is far from hating Jews." After she assumed office and the scrutiny intensified, she claimed ignorance ("I don't know how my comments would be offensive to Jewish Americans," she told CNN's Poppy Harlow in January), and later said she was still learning.

There's nothing anti-semitic there.
Israel has given up on a 2 state solution. That makes them an apartheid state. You don't get a pass on that just because you have a history of being a victim.

Everything here is 100% consistent with what I said. She has been heavily critical of Israel. She even states here that her criticism of Israel the country and its policies should not be confused with a hatred of Jews. So how is this specifically anti-semitic?
I never said Omar was definitively anti-semitic, I'm fact I specifically said I wasn't accusing her of such. I believe she could be and this idea that she just made innocent anti-Israel comments that happened to strike a sensitive nerve seems to be to be an over-eager defense.
The reason I brought up her earlier comments is to show that she should be more sensitive. By her own admission on the Trevor Noah show she sees how her comments could be interpreted in a negative light and hopefully she will be more careful in the future. Only time will tell if this is the last of her insensitive comments or not.

I didn't say Israel was the barrier. I said they have given up on a 2 state solution. Back when they were trying I wouldn't have called them an apartheid state, but now that Netanyahu has stopped trying they have become an apartheid state.
If Omar's truthful remarks about Israel are used to paint her as anti Semite than by the same measure Trump's treatment of Israel makes him a Pro- Semite, more so than any US President in history as witness this billboard for Bibi's re-election campaign

I don't disagree that she should be more sensitive about how she makes her points about Israel, but I also don't think the defense mounted here is "over-eager." It's in response to the fact that you opened this line of discussion by calling her anti-semitic in the same breath as calling Donald Trump anti-semitic.
Maybe be more sensitive about your language next time!
Fair enough, I should have said "could be". My repeated posts after that clearly stated that. I do think the defense of her from the left is over-eager and that if she were a republican like Steve King, the sides would flip. For what it's worth, I think the reaction from the right is just hysterical hypocrisy and bears no relation to what she has said.

This is an interesting read and it certainly seems like black people in Pittsburgh have valid concerns regarding a disinterest to their plight.
I think nationally the coverage of Tree of Life was comparable to the Emanuel AME Church shooting because mass shootings always draw a disproportionate share of coverage.
Mass shootings at places of worship get news coverage because of the mass shooting and the societal attitude that these places are to be meant to be a safe and secure sanctuary. In other words, it's highly taboo and barbaric to slaughter people in any religious context/setting. Basically it's a two-fer of hot button issues.

Probably racism against Asians but Wikipedia offers up this:

Part of it has to do with the time that Germans had been in America. By WWII they'd largely assimilated, having come many decades earlier. German immigrants were treated with much more suspicion during WWI, when they hadn't been here for quite so long. Part of it has to do with racism, too, since German immigrants in WWI weren't put in internment camps the way Japanese immigrants were in WWII.Yogi Bear said:I've never really thought about this before, but I wonder why no one ever questioned why we put Japanese in internment camps, but not German-Americans?sycasey said:I know how we treated the Japanese, which was pretty terriblyYogi Bear said:In the 1940's did we hate Germany, Germans, and/or Nazis?Unit2Sucks said:
