I adore you as a poster btw.

The link shows Trump giving a speech and saying to Jewish Repbulicans that they need to support Netanyahu, calling him "your prime minister". It isn't really literal but fits with the pattern of assumptions that Trump makes about thinking he knows what is best for others.

And that Obama was not when he was President - which was true of a LOT of Republican voters, Jewish or not.

That is a very sensitive topic, especially for Jewish people. Their interests may align with Israel, but when people say that they have "split loyalties" It brings up old antisemitic ideas which were the basis of a great deal of violence done to Jews over the centuries.

They express their desire for the US to stand with Israel's right to exist and defend itself to varying degrees, but I am sure they all recognize their loyalty to the United States.

That message was widespread among the RW when I was growing up, for example with JFK.

He claimed they did it to protest anti-Semites. As if.

I don't think that he can keep track of it all either, which is why it comes out as such a mess. The article you linked to did not specifically say that Trump blamed Jews for desecrating their cemeteries and synagogues. He basically responded to a question with a stupid hacked up attempt to play all sides. He specifically said, "Sometimes its the reverse" in response to a question about what thought of recent attacks on Jewish holy sites. He speaks like that for two reasons. One, because he is truly stupid and likely has not really thought about any kind of answer. Two, because he can intimate sinister things against people he doesn't like while not fully committing to an anti-Semitic statement.

Like he tried to walk the edge today at his bizarre gaggle doubling down on the idea that "they should leave if they don't like America" but trying to stay away from the real message of that turn of phrase which is that "you aren't really American because you aren't White."

Obviously the congresspeople do not like what they are seeing America become under Trump, but they plan on fighting to change that rather than leaving the place where they were born or spend the majority of their life in (in the case of Ohmar). It is an old conservative trope, "love it or leave it". Well, I can love aspects of my country and be proud of certain things, but recognize that our policies have caused some serious problems internally and around the world. I can love my country for what it can be and has shown, but at the same time want to change it and improve it. Unfortunately conservatives minds don't work that way. They are stuck in a binary thought process.

is the term that has been used in association with 4 freshmen Democratic Congresspeople, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Aryanna Pressely, and Ilan Ohmar. I am not sure if they self identified or it was a moniker placed on them from the outside. It carries both positive and negative connotations depending on where your support lies.

The post seems to be mainly referring to the controversy that Rep Ohmar got into a while back when discussing problems with Israeli lobbyists and their support for Likud policies affecting Palestinians. She may have used the term "divided loyalties" which is something that many Jewish Americans have been accused of and which appears to be an old slur used to justify purges of Jewish people from various countries throughout history.

The post appears to be meant sarcastically since Trump himself recently told Jewish Republicans that Netanyahu is their Prime Minister.

Read the link, it's Trump.

why are people using that term?
