Reply to comment by flatdanny in 'We cannot remain complacent.' ADL reports antisemitic incidents in Connecticut doubled in 2022 by jaydecay123

Antisemitism is unfortunately prevalent in both party's. This is not a political matter IMO. (See MTG on one end and your Rashida Talibs and Ilhan Omars on the other)

What did Talib and Omar say or do that was antisemitic? I know they publicly decried the state of Israel, but am not aware of. Anything explicitly anti-Jewish from them.

Omar: https://www.politico.com/amp/story/2019/03/01/ilhan-omar-anti-semitic-slur-1199495 or just google Ilhan Omar antisemitism. Her own party has called her out multiple times

Talib: https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3654510-house-democrat-slams-tlaib-for-antisemitic-remarks-on-israel/amp/ again, called out by democrats

So Talib was called an antisemitic for calling Israel an apartheid state. I’d have to agree with her, and I am Jewish. Again, criticizing Israel is NOT criticizing Jews.

And Omar was called antisemitic for saying that US politicians pushing for pro-Israeli policy at the expense of the United States was showing allegiance to a foreign state. Again, I’d agree.

You k ow what’s antisemitic? Conflating Israel with all Jews.

Google it... ("it's all about the benjamins" "getting a calming feeling about the holocaust"..) and I'm sure you've heard about jewish space lasers at the other end of the political aisle. The point is can we for once not politicize something? This isn't a party politics issue.

No, I won’t google it. You made a claim, you back it up with a source.

If you turned in a paper and the bibliography was just “google it”, you’d fail that class.

I did b/c I didn't believe a good faith argument was incoming. One was way out of context and the other was commentary on politicians and lobbying groups that blindly support the state of Israel.

I will capitulate, though, that the holocaust comment was clumsily said and Talib probably should have though a bit more before speaking.

The first is being taken out of context, although clumsily said. The second has nothing to do with Jews and all about the people who blindly support state of Israel.

Lols, they did nothing to disparage the Israeli citizens. They criticized the state.

So funny....liberals and democrats only think anti-semitism exists from white christians. Muslim or black anti-semitism doesn't raise an eyebrow.

Because in reality, they don't care about anti-semitism, they just care about politics and trying to make themselves feel superior to the other side.

Black antisemitism isn't doing Kanye any favors now, is it?

If Omar is antisemitic for what she said than so is Bernie Sanders for agreeing with her.

There's a big difference voting for someone who happens to criticize Israel and voting in someone who thinks Jews control the weather with space lasers.
