Ilhan Omar’s Denunciation of Israel Lobby is Not Anti-Semitism - Phyllis Bennis 

They like to label them as, "self hating Jews".

The concept of the self hating Jew has been around a long time. For good reason.

@@heroes83 "...they were gassing people...." The extent of it is debatable. That it happened is fact. That said, I think it's stupid to distinguish between methods of murder/mass slaughter. Execution by lethal injection is NO different than being beheaded with a scimitar....but "the west" seems to think the latter is 'horrible', but the former is 'fine'.

@@williamolsen20Given the chance Netanyahu would be far worst than Hitler.

Nothing but naked greed, just like all the powerful elite.

Yes.... unfortunately speaking the truth sets off alarm bells from said lobbyist and then they go into smear mode

@Patricia M what are you? Are an anti-Semite? How dare you?!? (I'm just kidding). Getting money out of politics is easier said than done. I do agree with you, though.

@Patricia M Money was never out of politics, one cannot pretend the monsters are not there.

religion should be a personal matter NOT a state demand religions (all) are way out of date and now the negative far outweighs the positive please evolve

Well said. Spot on 👍

The Arabs in Israel live safer and better lives in Israel than they would any other place in the Middle East. Arab Christians have suffered persecution from Moslems for centuries. The Christian population of Bethlehem has declined since the PA took over. There are no more Christians in Gaza since the Hamas took control. So I suggest that you check your facts.

@@Linda43 If other places in the Middle East aren't safe it's due to American intervention. And America intervenes at the urging of Israel. At present I'd say the safest place in the Middle East for people of diverse backgrounds is Iran.

It's telling the truth mostly.

I defend Israel's right to exist, and flourish, and in many ways, be a leader to the region and he world. I see Israelis offering peace repeatedly, only to have it just as repeatedly rejected by Palestinians.

silversurfergw - Yeah, how much more crazy can it get?!

Yes - it's so ironic - the words "Netanyahu" and "war criminal" are synonymous.

Multiple criticisms of Israel, by a card carrying member of CAIR, (Omar) founded by the Muslim Brotherhood, is just innocent concern over influential lobbying groups? How old are you?

@Dooya Punk -- Funny you mention that but don't mention her comments on the oil and gas lobby or the healthcare lobby or anything else. One might get the idea you are only concerned about ONE thing. Which I believe puts you squarely in the "israel is above reproach" group - that so many of us disagree with. Are you sure the problem isn't just that you are a jew who hates all Muslims? Yeah, I think that might be it.

@@ThunderDog97 The other lobby groups she mentioned haven't been persecuted and hated on, for decades, by the group Omar belongs to. I am concerned about THAT thing, because the facts indicate that she may not be the innocent little Angel, that you anti Semites want her to be. Yeah, I think that might be it.

Tom Martin why did she chose to single out Israel when they are not the only lobbyist?

@@tommy31831 This is true, though it still a good starting point?!

@@tommy31831 My understanding is that she's also commented on the influence of the NRA and more broadly on Big Pharma and Wall St. I think her point is valid, that criticism of groups such as AIPAC is harder to voice than criticism of the NRA for example.

Exactly! Thank you👏👏

I prefer Jew hatred. It's more truthful.

@@Linda43 In that case the evidence is overwhelming. Just look at the history of their actions.

You got it! The Rothchild Zionist European jews are as semitic as a 3 dollar note!

@Robert Frost So, a Muslim - hater sounding a false alarm about anti-semitism.

No he didn't, Voltaire never said that. That quote is by Kevin Alfred-Strom.

or more of an imbecile

I like her too.

Or 911

@Gold rush Wishing you the same kardesim, kardas, kardes..kako.

@Live Free or Die USA How so? In what way is this discussion of the conflation of anti-Israel-lobbying with anti-Semitism fake?

@Live Free or Die USA How does having our government controlled by another country help you, or any of us Americans to *live free* ?

Faulty Log ❤️❤️❤️💯💯

Totally Wrong. You accept that voter fraud, Dude in our American house sworn in on the kuran?... she is NOT COMMITED TO AMERICA. REMEMBER. YOU'VE GOT THE HIGHEST RANKING RABBI'S IN THIS COUNTRY, ADMITTING THEY ARE TAKING OUR CHILDREN TO BE GROUND UP IN OUR MSD'S BURGERS. THESE MOTHER FUCKERS WILL CUT YOUR HEAD OFF. & GRIND YOUR BODY, & MIX YOU IN A MEATBALL SOUP, AFTER DRAINING YOUR BLOOD. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. ANYONE, ANYONE, ANYONE, WHO SUPPORTS THIS TRATOR, SHOULD GO TO PRISON, OR BE DEPORTED AS WELL. SEE YA!!!!

Faulty Log TES-Truth to Power// I would. donate some Benjamin’s toward her Re-election 🙏🏼🙏🏼✌️💟💯

David Porowski thank you, will do the same

@@davidporowski9512: For one of many reasons, if you have daughters start telling them their rights and worth will be less than a man's, to say nothing of wearing a burka all day. If a Muslim man assaults your daughter there is a good chance she could be blamed for promoting it and punished even if she's innocent. Also her husband can beat her if they wish for any reason and there is nothing you can do about it, he's protected under Islamic Law. This has always been...if this is less important to you than Israel, then re-elect Ilhan. These examples are part of her faith.

Read "The Synagogue of Satan" by Andrew Hitchcock. Very informative book which details exactly how this occurred.

undeadpresident ~~ I imagine you would not be surprised at how difficult it is to find this book… Amazon does not carry it at all and it was difficult looking through eBay as well. A few independent booksellers had it, but suffice to say I know enough about the Rothchilds so I do not need to read this book for even more examples of their pure evil to rule mankind.. I don’t care who controls the banks so much as what they are doing with the power. These people are evil As are many of the richest people on earth. Instead of benevolence, they perpetrate evil in every way they can.

I have dual citizenship. I am a loyal American and a loyal citizen of Israel. That is the current law. Other people hold passports of other countries. Are their loyalty questioned ? Rashida Tliab brought this up. Have you checked out whether she carries a "Palestinian" passport? I wonder where her loyalties are? She and Ihlan Omar are Moslem. Their agenda is Islam.Why don't you start worrying about them?

To know who rules over you simply look to those who you cannot criticize...

@@undeadpresident I didn't know that Voltaire was a Nazi. Oh wait that's you and Ihlan Omar.

@@Linda43 Yeah anyone who calls you on your lies is automatically a "nazi."

@@undeadpresident My lies? I was referring to "its all about the shekels". A not so clever reference to Jews and money. Typical Nazi rhetoric connecting Jews with money. You are even too ignorant to understand the connection. You just parrot what ever nonsense you read on u tube. Ihlan is not ignorant or innocent she knows exactly what she is saying and why.

They can't handle the truth .

American Jews are not used to such blantant lies and Incitement from an elected official. What surprises me is the level of Jew hatred in these comments and others. It is time for America to wake up and decide if this is the America they want to see .

@@Linda43 Nice try at psychological projection. It's clear to anyone who takes a close look, that the Jews run the political system in the USA. You must be one yourself. Lying POS.

I have always wondered why we support Israel and waste billions providing for their military… Also, decades of bullshit when a two-state system would be fine for Palestinians and Israelis, But religious bullshit always interferes and is used as justification to prevent peace. Stop wasting US taxpayers money on Israel and let them fight for themselves… They are the “chosen people” so let their god prevail over everybody else… What bullshit! LOL We all know ALL religion is the greatest source of “fake news” on earth and is used to manipulate people in many ways that are harmful to ourselves.

She did not say Jews were holding dual loyalties, she was specifically calling out anti-BDS legislation requiring companies/employees to pledge loyalty to Israel that is currently making its way through Congress and similar legislation that has already passed in many states.

@@keithbos4506 Correct, and that she did.

@@keithbos4506 You are right. Are we still in a democratic country?. No, there is not freedom of speach. Anybody who dares to criticise Israel is called antisemitic.

Phyllis Bennett is a long time opponent of Israel. The Jewish Voice for Peace are anything but. These people and others use the word Jewish as ploy. They are Jew haters and support terrorism against the Jewish state.

@@Linda43 Thanks for your disgusting anti Semitic comment, Linda. In a devastating United Nations report on the Israeli siege of Gaza, Israeli sharp shooters have murdered children, disabled people in wheelchairs, women, first responders and anyone else in their gun sight. This is common Israeli practice. What is uncommon is that the report was issued despite the pressure to kill it.

@@padredemishijos12 Israel is defending its border against terrorist encroachment. Why don't you ask the Hamas why it uses it's people as human shields. FYI: the phrase anti semetism was coined to describe racism towards Jews. I prefer Jew hatred but nice try.

@@Linda43 What you call border, Israel has NO defined borders nor does it have a constitution, is nothing less than prison walls. Israel has imposed a siege on Gaza worst than the Warsaw Ghetto. It is sad that you defend this war crime of genocide. Sadly, Israel is among the most racist society in the world even toward Arab and African Jews. Very sad. The most "moral" army in the world has degenerated to using sniper to murder children, people in wheelchairs, first responders. This is coming from a UN Human Rights Report. You are an apologist for Israel crimes against humanity. Sad, Shalom.

and mandoweiss

Where? I've counted like two or three. Pretty few and far between....

Yes she is a beautiful human being .

I'll go ahead and say "they will call her MOSES!" No apology.

You must have been high during Hebrew school because that is real bs.

@@Linda43 No that was fake bs. What does real b.$. taste like? I hear it is like jello? There is always room for more. Shalom aleicum.

Amen! You hit the nail on the head! Perhaps the coalition of which you speak is what the Democratic Party really fears. It explains why someone like Congresswoman Omar is being sanctioned and rebuked by the Democratic Party's centrist wing.

+1. Cool!
