Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I don't think that the congresswoman perhaps appreciates the full weight of how it was heard by other people, although I don't believe it was intended in any anti-Semitic way." https://t.co/2tTkGqXj8R pic.twitter.com/dSKKRdfVKf

Hard to watch Rep. Scalise demand that Rep. @IlhanMN be removed from House Foreign Affairs w/o wondering if itβs steeped in Islamophobia. Ilhan is more than capable of sitting on the committee & making decisions that are in the best interests of her constituents & all Americans. https://t.co/MqzPM1G2FJ

The Dem House bill is finally out. Drama is over & result is a good resolution denouncing all forms hate or intolerance against any religious, ethnic, or racial communities. Those who intended to target @IlhanMN & steamroll a bill that would support their position-LOST, big time! pic.twitter.com/UKGMKo8q0H

There shouldn’t be the need to tiptoe through a minefield on this. Most of what Omar said is plainly true. The mines were planted by AIPAC and target anyone supporting BDS with the epithet anti-semite. The occupation is Apartheid.
New York Representative Nita Lowey started all of this nonsense. Then Nadler and Engels followed her into the abyss.
Apparently Lowey, and they, are on the wrong side of history on this issue.
Representative Omar is not an anti-Semite.
Those who marched in a torch light parade on the University of Virginia campus in Charlottesville, Virginia, shouting “Jews will not replace us,” are anti-Semites.
Lowey seems to be confused about the fact that criticizing the policies of the criminal Netanyahu and of Israel does not make you an anti-Semite anymore then criticizing the policies of Trump and the Republicans makes you un-American.
Yesterday Israel banned the joint Arab party Raam-Balad from running for seats in the Knesset in the
upcoming April elections, calling the party a terrorist group.
That’s what the criminal Netanyahu’s Likud Party wanted and that’s what they got.
Perhaps Representative Lowey would like to explain to us just how undemocratic that move is?
And just how Fascist Netanyahu has become?
Yeah, but it’s kind of a closed loop. Everyone is playing their designated parts, over and over and over….
