Omar had previously offered support for this bipartisan partnership, posted on Twitter:
Reps. Brenda Lawrence (D-MI), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), and Lee Zeldin (R-NY) announced the launch of the Black-Jewish Caucus on June 3rd. The launch of the Caucus was facilitated by the American Jewish Committee.Omar made blatantly anti-Semitic rhetoric on many occasions — such as her claiming that Israel had “hypnotized the world” or that American support for Israel was based solely upon Jewish money she termed "Benjamins".
But lucky for her, the Democratic Party is hunky-dory with anti-Semitic rhetoric if it's couched in anti-Zionist statements.
Her supporters are certain to laud her announcement as final and incontrovertible proof that Ilhan Omar is not an anti-Semite, which is very likely why she's doing it in the first place.
Not only that, they say, but she is now pretending to actively fight against anti-Semitism.
The truth is, Ilhan Omar doesn't care about fighting anti-Semitism. She merely wants to profit politically from certain forms of anti-Semitism, while stubbornly ignoring others.
She claims that most "extremist murders" were committed by white supremacists. This is true in the United States, but globally the violence is being committed by Islamic extremists in far greater numbers. And even then, Omar gives the false choice that we must choose which form of the threat to combat. There's no reason to think this way--we should all agree that extremism, no matter from which group it comes, must be put down.
But Democrats refuse to admonish Omar and they allow her to get away with anti-Semitic tropes.
Omar is a person who asked for lighter sentences for ISIS combatants and has a history of taking international terrorism lightly. She has even aligned herself with terrorist sympathizers and in a 2013 interview, was seen giggling about Hezbollah and al-Qaeda. If she was serious about fighting anti-Semitism, she'd speak out against anti-Semitic terrorist groups such as Hamas, who seeks to destroy the state of Israel, and would break off her ties with them and the Muslim Brotherhood.
She will make an interesting member of the Congressional Black-Jewish Caucus. I know she'll get along famously with Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. The fact that they would allow her in the group without condemning Hamas and the MB, tells you all you need to know about the Democratic Party.
Just watch how Omar uses the group to weaponize anti-Semitism. Just watch.
