House Democrats will take action on the floor this week to condemn anti-Semitism, a vote designed to confront Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) language in her latest criticisms of Israel, which has been widely considered anti-Semitic.

The resolution doesn’t name Omar specifically — a point of internal dispute for Democrats, according to Politico — but outlines the history of anti-Semitism in the U.S. Omar was slammed by senior Jewish lawmakers over the weekend when she referred to pro-Israel advocates as having an “allegiance to a foreign country.”

  1. House Democrats will take action on the floor this week to condemn anti-Semitism

    Well, that’s a relief.

  2. And yet you wonder why they have no time to work on impeaching tRump.

  3. I saw this elsewhere but liked it:

    Disagreeing with the political choices that Israel makes is not antisemitic. Wanting to look at Israel’s choices critically and judge the validity and wisdom behind what they’re doing is not antisemitic.
    Drawing a nazi symbol, however, IS.
    And yet we have a lot of the latter going on with no oversight, and a ton of the former being attacked.

    So is there going to be one for Anti Muslim, Anti Hispanic, Anti Black?

    Least I forget how about Anti Palestinian?

  5. I am just discovering that I must be a rabid gas-chamber operating anti-semite. I like Rep, Omar believe that AIPAC is a powerful organization that puts Israels interests before the ones of the US. And don’t get me started with the treatment of the palestinian people.
