Ilhan Omar and Jan Schakowsky managed to get through the House a bill that promises to criticize speech with which Omar disagrees.
In his 1925 autobiography, Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler spewed page after page of hatred for the Jewish people, proclaiming what he would do if he rose to power. When the Holocaust ensued, only the most uninformed or disingenuous could claim not to have realized that Hitler meant to eliminate Jews off the face of the earth. Since the end of World War II, anti-Semitism has become more indirect, with attacks upon Jews being blamed on other factors than their special status as God’s chosen people.
Anti-Semitism has become so nuanced that open anti-Semite Ilhan Omar enjoys a seat in Congress as a representative of Minnesota. Omar has been condemned for accusing Israel of atrocities like those committed by the Taliban and fiercely criticized for implying that Jews buy political support with her infamous “All about the Benjamins, baby” tweet.
Since then, Omar has learned subtlety. She partnered with representative Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill) to introduce bill HR 5665, the Combating International Islamophobia Act, which passed the House of Representatives with every Democrat voting for it and every Republican opposing it. On the face of it, a bill opposing hatred of Muslims does not seem to be a problem, least of all for Jews. A closer look shows a number of problems with bill HR 5665.
The bill is unnecessary, as the state department already has offices to address issues of religious freedom and religious persecution. More importantly, Islamophobia is such a vague term that it has been used to quash legitimate criticism of Islamic extremism. Nor is Islamophobia unique, in that other religions besides Islam are subjected to criticism and their adherents suffer persecution.

Leftism and jihadism are totalitarian ideologies. It is no wonder they seem to ally with each other.
Self-hatred must be a terrible thing to live with. I believe Jan Schakowsky and her family are Jewish.
Does anyone think for a moment that all this anti-white racism won’t soon clarify itself to include anti-Semitism?

Tricky little devils, aren't they?;-)
Since the “liberal” JEWs mostly vote D, why should anyone care?
Nov. 2022. Lets see if these hens come home to roost.
Or whether they are potted meat.
Interesting. A bill that violates 1st amendment speech.
Maybe she should have her 1st amendment rights suspended, to just see how she likes it.
Christianity is the most persecuted religion in the world, yet few are defending their plight.
Jan Schakowsky, progressive except for Palestine: Hatem Abudayyeh The Electronic Intifada 27 August 2021. Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky has been strong on many important progressive issues, but now is being pushed by constituents to do more for Palestinian rights and freedom.
On 10 June, the US Palestinian Community Network (USPCN) mobilized to stage a sit-in protest at the Chicago office of US Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky, a Democrat. The protesters demanded that Schakowsky co-sponsor HR 2590, the Palestinian Children and Families Act, a bill written and introduced by US Congresswoman Betty McCollum of Minnesota. If passed, the bill would help protect the rights of Palestinian children and their families. It would prohibit Israel from using US taxpayer dollars to “support the military detention of Palestinian children, the unlawful seizure, appropriation, and destruction of Palestinian property and forcible transfer of civilians in the West Bank, or further annexation of Palestinian land in violation of international law.”
It is a fundamental human right to dislike anybody for ANY reason. Just keep your hands off their person and property. ANY reason including religion. May not be nice, but it is a right.

Freedom of religion is a fundamental human right and one the US must fight for in every corner. A @StateDept Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia will help to push against this growing vile trend of Islamophobia around the world.

Kind of.
She is an atheist, part of the anti Semitic “J Street” organization, and repeatedly openly mocks Orthodox Jewish people, to the point she’s been accused of religious bigotry — by the Orthodox Union (yes, the food and charity group).
She’s about as Jewish as Hitler was Catholic.
Oh the irony since most Jews and Jewish groups including the congress person she mentioned who is herself Jewish that have pushed for these very policies.
Wow, you’re human garbage.
Good work, Pelosi.

What does “Palestinian property” mean at this group of grandchildren of Arab immigrants?
