Human rights attorney Brooke Goldstein blasted Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar on Sunday for being part of “systemic anti-Semitism.”
“There is an alarming rise of Jew hatred to the point where it has become systemic … I use the word systemic for a reason because Jew hatred is no longer on the fringes of society, it has become systemic. It comes from politicians like Ilhan Omar, who accuse Jewish Americans of having dual loyalty. This is coming from someone in the United States right now in a position of power,” she said.
Goldstein, including some of Omar’s Democratic colleagues, view the congresswoman’s past statements on Israel to cross a line into anti-Semitism. Her critics say she leveled a “dual loyalty” charge against American Jews. According to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, whose working definition was adopted by the U.S. State Department, anti-Semitism includes, “Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.”
Remarks by Omar that have received blow back include when she implied the U.S.-Israel relationship was “all about the Benjamins baby,” and in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper Omar was criticized for appearing to suggest that Jewish members of Congress were not equally interested in justice.
Brooke added that rising anti-Semitism is a sign of radicalism gaining its steam in America.
“There are governments, foreign governments, sponsors of terrorism around the world that are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into our institutions of higher education – they’re not only indoctrinating towards Jew hatred, but they’re also indoctrinating towards anti-Americanism and anti-democracy,” she said. “And the saying is – ‘Jews are the canary in the coal miners’ tunnel.’ So it is really important to focus on the rise of Jew-hatred because it is a symptom of further radicalization in the community at large.”
“This is a civil rights issue of epic proportions,” she said.
Omar is as ungrateful as they come she needs to buy a one way ticket back to Somalia without delay.
The Palestinians are treated terribly and the USA backs the Israeli nation with little compassion or honesty.
There is no such thing as a ”palestinian”! (That is a figment of somebody’s imagination!!)
Stop smoking Crack. Palestinians are the Absolute leak from the World’s sewers.
Israel does not send rockets or suicidal bombers to attack Palestinians its the(Palestinians/Muslims), who do that! So stop being an stupid prejudiced idiot and face the facts.
Israel is an American Allie always has been others in the area want the USA dead but Israel the most!
Study your history better. Then come back and make a statement of fact.
It is their leaders that are treating them badly. If the millions of money given as aid are to be accounted for, then you would see that a pittance is spent by their leaders for their citizens.
The Palestinians are nothing more than terrorists and scoundrels. They want to run around saying death to the Jews lobbing missiles into Israel and when they retaliate against them then they are accused of being the bad guy. It doesn’t work that way nor will it ever. If the Palestinian people wish to have peace i would suggest that they move out of Jewish territory. The only thing that is going to happen is they will continue to attack Israel and Israel will continue to level their homes until they have no place else to live it’s that simple. Palestinian officials sadly love to use their civilians as shields to create a false narrative.
We don’t need people in congress from countries that don’t believe in freedom and she is one person that is that way so take her citizenship and send her back home to where she came from period
Both sides are political pawns in a sinister plot conceived long ago by the intities who sole purpose is to sow hate to feed on.
Send her back
