Racism should not go unchallenged and neither should anti-Semitism go unchallenged. There is a line past which otherwise legitimate criticism of Israeli policies becomes anti-Semitic bile, and the Congresswoman crossed it. I hope she will retract and restate.

If you refer to Omar or Ro, they are, unlike the majority of Israeli Citizens, Semitic. R U suggesting they are spreading Anti-Semitic bile on themselves? R U suggesting AIPAC is a Semitic org. or that they don't work 24/7 to influence our legislation at every level of govt?

Wow man, to think I just signed on to donate to you monthly. I’m taking it back and no, it’s not anti-semitic.

The term 'anti-semitism' has been co-opted by Israel for exclusive use... but it also applies to Palestinians who are Semitic Arabs who are being persecuted by the Zionist state of Israel. Perhaps 'anti-Zionist' would be better when referring to Israeli state policies/actions.

When I think of Israel I think of their giggling snipers. The ones who kill children for fun.

I think what she said can be misconstrued as an antisemitic reference but its a stretch. Nevertheless she apologized. She is simply amazing.
