Your starting comment was, and I quote: "Tons of actual Jewish people didn't." brandodell posted, I responded to him, then you said "Tons of actual Jewish people didn't." to me.
Wow. That's ... okay, you know how the most benign interpretation of Omar's words is that she didn't intend any of the offense she generated by accidentally stepping on a rake? I read what you just wrote and you're doing that Sideshow Bob / rake thing.
Given its reputation, it was always funny to me that Rep. Omar was the first Muslim in Congress to criticize AIPAC. Why was it not Rep. Tlaib? I will tell you why. Rep. Tlaib is Palestinian, well aware of the intricacies of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. She prefers a one state solution, and as such she knows that she has nothing to gain by attacking AIPAC, since that organization that has spent decades thwarting a two-station solution.
And you keep doing the same ... whatever it is you're doing. Look, it's possible to criticize the policies of a nation strongly associated with a particular ethnic group or religion, but you need to be exceedingly clear to criticize the policies and not the faith or the people. I'm not sure you're even trying to make the proper distinction.
You want to criticize the Israeli government's policies towards Palestinians? Fine, just be real exacting about what you're accusing the Israeli government of, and steer clear of the things that are the stuff of slurs.
Same thing with Islamic nations like Saudi Arabia: you can criticize how women and the LGBT community are treated in Saudi Arabia, but when you start making like those are fundamental to Islam, that's when you've gone Islamophobic.
Indeed but my point is that you would think that Israelis and Zionists would realize that Rep. Tlaib's silence towards AIPAC is indicative of just how moronic they are being by thwarting a two state solution. Here we have a US representative who openly acknowledges that she wants a one-state solution that would presumably be Palestinian dominated, yet she says nothing about the organization that most Zionists would assume to be her main enemy. That really should clue them into just how bad a mistake they are making by opposing a two state solution.
Thank goodness that Rep. Omar didn't claim that Muslims were dancing in New Jersey celebrating the 9/11 attacks. I bet half-speaker McCarthy would have nothing to do with anyone that said anything as racist as that.

Does it really taste like licorice? I've always wanted to try it, but I really hate licorice, like gag me with a spoon hate.
all the traitors need their reckoning. It is so frustrating that they still act as if 1/6/21 was patriotic
The party of Jewish space lasers need to shut the fuck up.
And plenty did, which makes the comments actually offensive, and questionable at a bare minimum.
I mean, I can go years without blurting out statements that are considered anti-Semitic. Guess what my secret is?
(ouch)
If it matters, I've considered sarafina's opinions worthless for a very long time. The anti-Semitism just speaks to this specific issue.

Israel won't be happy until they've run all the Palestinians off their land and taken it, much we did with the Native Americans.
That will never happen with a 2 state solution.
"It's all about the Benjamins baby" had particularly poor optics.

What’s fucking new about THAT is the full-blown, unapologetic, no longer in the closet fascism.

Why is it GOP can say the most horrible things all day every day but Democrats says one thing and it's still in play after two or three or five years?
