How can we make judgement without the statement? That's the trouble with news. Always reference to the "statement" but never the "statement" or the "rebuttal" to the statement", or the "prequel" to the "statement" that caused it. Never the facts, only the spin. Where can we get the facts?

I can read sir. I know how to follow links. I have not heard what the latest statement was and the context upon what it was uttered. I would think Politico could give a link to the actual statement. That would be good reporting to me.

Twitter account? It's a long string of comments from her and others.

Democrats are elected by their constituents and should be speaking on their behalf. The notion that we must all think exactly alike is undemocratic.

She is right that there is "allegiance to Israel" from many of our lawmakers. Ironically, the resolution is evidence of that.

What they did in Gaza is horrific. UN investigated as well as every human rights organizations. Snipers intentionally targeting Children, elderly, disabled, journalist, medical personnel. Time to indict Israel for war crimes yet here we have hands slapped for criticizing Israel. Those representatives better wake up. Gaza says it all and the slaughter of unarmed innocent Palestinians are viewed by the civilized world and the UN as war crimes.

there was a chance it wouldn't pass.

they act to follow up on right wing bullshit is really counter-productive.

The US will always suffer for its backing of repressive regimes.
Maybe not immediately, but eventually.

The toleration of Israeli (NOT Jewish) actions are especially negative because of the many positive things the Israelis (NOT Jews) do that are overshadowed by the extremist government's deplorable actions.

I am old and I forget stuff.
Please refresh my memory - were libs protesting American support for South American right wing military regimes accused of being anti-Hispanic?

I do know our AG got pardons for all guilty fed employees supplying them weapons under Raegan.

Many lawmakers on both sides of the isle seem to take actions that favor AIPAC policies and the nation of Israel. Why is it not okay to make the same accusations about them?

Omar’s dog whistle is fooling no one.

I am hopeful that she will be defeated in the Democratic primary next year.

trump and the republican party is. Rep. Omar is doing nothing more than speaking the truth. Looks like AIPAC has more influence over the democratic party than perhaps was thought.

without someone screaming antisemitism. It's impossible. It doesn't matter how sincere you are.

It was used to justify the internment of Japanese Americans during WW2, it used against Catholic presidential candidate John F Kennedy and it has been used since Roman's times against Jews. Her point may have merit but her choice of terminology is ignorant.

Years ago a secular and very lefty Jewish friend surprisingly said, unprompted, they were Jewish first and American second. Wasn't quite sure exactly what that meant, but it took me aback.

She said that politicians who take AIPAC money are not only representing America's interests, but Israel's as well.
That includes ALL politicians, regardless of their religious affiliation.

Just as those who take Exxon money represent that corporation's interests in addition to their constituents (sure, they do).

It seems that Arabs or Muslims are not allowed to criticize Israel.
There is anti-semitism in this situation, but it is not coming from Representative Omar.

Omar is being used as a punching bag and a proxy for America’s anti-Islam bias.

in so many countries where they had felt safe? Whether or not we want to move to Israel is not the point. What is the point is Israel is a place where we can go if threatened. Do not tell me we are safe in the U.S., we have been safe in many countries for many years until the pogroms started.

The nation of Israel is made up of Jews, Arabs, Christians and others. It is not anti-Semitic to criticize the nation of Israel. Yes, the majority in Israel is Jewish. But the majority in the US is Christian. If it were anti-Semitic to criticize Israel, then it must be anti-Christian to criticize the US.

International law says everyone has a right of return to the country where they have their citizenship. Israel's "Right of Return" is for all Jews everywhere except for violent felons, but also includes their family members and their spouses and children and their grandchildren even if they are not Jewish. Just because you criticize Israel or the US does not necessarily make it a religious criticism, but it would depend on the criticism.

She spoke the truth and, in any case, she has a right to speak her mind. No country or official has a right to be beyond criticism or to punish those who criticise them. At any rate, this is not something Democrats should do.

Beyond this, the Mueller investigation is almost certainly going to find corrupt deals between Trump and Netanyahu. It was early on leaked that there were multiple countries the investigation was looking at, including Israel and Saudi Arabia. And if Mueller doesn't reveal anything, the House Democrats will. But if they pass this resolution they are undermining their moral authority to do anything about it.

Just because the foreign country is Israel.

We are getting in dangerous territory where anything said that is anti Israel is being considered anti semitic.

That is such BUULCHIT.

People cant stand that this ridiculous stuff is happening.

Meanwhile Omar is seriously being insulted and there is NO DIScUSSION about that.

Is OK to hammer on Muslims but not ok to hammer on Israel. How hypocritical is this.

This is like three strikes in three weeks time on the same subject. Nancy isn't going to tolerate this any longer I bet.
