Congresswoman Omar ignites new anti-Semitism controversy with comments on AIPAC

I was going somewhere else with this, perhaps to a more honest place
but yeah, "context", let's go with that
We can all go to twitter and find a Jewish person that aligns with our argument.
Do you give a shit about the context of Palestinians living under the boot of a regime that our government unequivocally supports because of a toxic combination of religious hatred, racism, and money, and this Congressperson standing alone even though there are millions of Muslims in this country?
So it's twitter outrage? Strange that it's legitimate this time
I give a shit about people being murdered for any reason. Omar's tweets happen to specifically and particularly target people that are being beaten and murdered for the exact reason she so "carelessly" tweeted about it. So yes, fuck her.
There is no specifically. She never mentioned Jewish people. Come on now. Just say you don't want people to criticize Israel, you'd save us so much time.
Even though you understand the context and she clarified? It's about AIPAC. You realise this, correct?
Tell us how you feel about Harris, Pelosi and Schumer's unrelenting support for Israel. I'm interested. Is it enough for any of you to say "fuck them"?
Probably not. We're taking about Muslims after all.
Fucking hell, and we're on about Omar?
Using religion to legitimise the terrorism from fucking Israel.
If he was using the Qur'an for his example you know how people would respond.
But this shit flies? And you concern trolls are having a fit over maybes? When this shit is bloody overt?
She definitely shouldn't have apologised.

Fuck are you talking about? She's targeting AIPAC and Israel.
I'm heated man...can't believe the shit some people are saying about this.
Anyone with half a brain knows she was criticizing the influence this PAC, like any PAC, can have over policy when big money is involved. All this pants-shitting from people saying she was being anti-semetic is reaching so far it would put Mr. Fantastic to shame and puts on display just how beholden plenty of elected democrats are to the interests of a conservative and destructive Israeli government - myself and my Jewish heritage know so.
stop trying to appropriate "the left" and stop trying to inject Omar's comments on Venezuela as "context" for her comments on AIPAC
Ya, I've had to step away from a lot of this discusison because it's not good to get over heated when the other side doesn't understand they aren't even advocating for the Jewish people but for a lobbying organization that exists to sustain genocide and is a poison on our political system.
Hey man you're not like, taking things into context whatever that means.
Yup, Chuck Schumer is everything that's wrong with the Democratic Party today.
politics is a very strong force, when jews were fleeing europe to the palestine territory in the early 1900s, Britain allowed the jewish community an intake of a couple dozen thousand jewish immigrants (more like refugees) in a given time frame, and the the jewish leadership at the time would frequently turn away jews that didn't align with them politically
Shameful that she was forced to apologize, but at least she hasn't been cowed into falling in line with the bipartisan pro-Israel consensus. (Read the thread, it's good)
No but you see, if they shit on Ilhan Omar really really hard, conservatives won't say that the Democratic party hates Israel.
It's a foolproof plan that will certainly work!
Well, it happened as expected. She caved in as the pressure came from her 'bosses' and had to apologize when she was not even wrong. That just shows how deep the Israeli lobby runs. Everything is anti-Semitism to them if you say anything about the racist Israeli govt. What a joke.
Do you think he is the only one? The blind support for fascist Israeli govt is very strong in US govt and even some big companies.
She caved but at least she said she wouldn't back down on discussions around lobbying and that she would continue to criticize governments. She'll be more effective next time.
Do not "both sides" this. Pretending that the democrats are even on the same planet as republicans in regards to being trash is dishonest and false.
And I sure hope you plan on supporting the dems in 2020. Anything else would be selfish and irresponsible.
Pathetically low standards we have for politicians...Pelosi is also clearly a BS artist. The American people deserve better than Trump and Pelosi.
So far none of the candidates have presented tangibles for the black community. Until then I'll simply monitor what happens.
Man, they'll be in love with that shithole even after the Palestinians have all been chased out or killed.
And even then, we'll have people tone policing this bullshit.
Humanity is funny.
She was right. Shouldn't have had to apologize. But it's easy to look at her with some sense of forced equivalence when as demonstrated in posts here, leadership is up Israels ass, making some fucked up claims daily, and plans to stay there for the duration.
Let's be real. Her skin color and her religion are what this is about. Anyone else could have walked away with middle fingers in the air.

loving a country thats in the process of ethnic cleansing is bad enough, but on top of that is the treatment of its critics
I understand that. But turning that into the false idea that both parties, as a whole, as equally bad and saying you "won't support the dems" is insanity.
When it comes to Palestine and Israel, the two parties are very bipartisan. Israel is a genocidak worthies and you have Democrats praising them
