Rep. Ilhan Omar has come under fire for a campaign mailer that names three donors to her Democratic primary opponent, and they are all Jewish.
“Can We Trust Antone Melton-Meaux’s Money?” said the mailer obtained by Vice News, which posted a story on Thursday.
The flyer features quotes that have appeared in national media from people outside the Minnesota congressional district who are giving to Melton-Meaux, Omar’s challenger in the Democratic primary on Aug. 11. It also cites others.
Among those mentioned are billionaires Seth Klarman, a hedge fund executive, and Jonathan Gray, president of the Blackstone Group private equity firm. Those quoted include Stanley Weinstein, a retired real estate executive from Miami Beach, and someone named Michael of Scarsdale, New York.
Rabbi Avi Olitzky of St. Louis Park, a Minneapolis suburb, who has defended Omar against previous claims that she is anti-Semitic, told Vice News he was “beyond dismayed.”
“Most disappointing were the presence of tropes that we’d personally discussed as hurtful, as offensive, and that I received a commitment not only would it not happen again but education would take place to learn more as to why it’s a problem,” said Olitzky, who had met with Omar last year after she was criticized for a number of statements in which she imputed undue influence to pro-Israel groups. She apologized for some but not all of her remarks.

Sounds like an excommunication list.
Why; in the name of sanity, is a jew forking over money to a wannabe muslim terrorist?
It’s been a 40+ year campaign by the leftists in the media but they hate you more than the people who want to kill them.
I didn’t read the whole article but I think the money is going to her primary opponent not her.
Look at that, a saracen saying something about Jews.
No accounting for the warm feeling of moral superiority virtue signaling produces.
She knows her constituents. From this, I must surmise that Muslims REALLY HATE Jews. Anti-semitism personified. (No surprise there)
Yes, that’s what I get for trying to think at 0400.

Rabbi, I was dismayed by her marital history which includes her brother, possible immigration violations, and now, fortuitously, a million dollars in payments, earned I'm sure, to her boyfriend, now husband 4. Or 3 if you count people not marriages. Lawful marriages, who knows, maybe only one or two, that's pretty normal. Her antisemitism, that was obvious, and nothing you can do about it.
Good morning, Rabbi. This is what comes of giving Kosher certification to pig meat. Bad idea. Stop doing it.
I just looked at his “synagogue”’s website.
United Synagogue, “egalitarian” with their head up the islamic ass.
Reform and Conservative Movement synagogues are 90% Leftist claptrap.
Even a majority of Modern Orthodox (OU) are pathetically PC.
Only Agudath, hasidim, and Young Israel are holdouts from the madness.
Years ago I exclaimed how surprised I was that so many modern orthodox were still voting Dem.
Some rightwing Jewish friends smiled at my naiveté.. “Shomer Shabbos / kosher caddilac communists.”
Then there were the thousands of them who went berserk when that NYC M.O. rabbi was announced (and then withdrew) to give the convocation prayer at Trumps 201t6 RNC convention.
After the near pogrom in LA last month where the M.O. response was to have BLM discussions, I am now 100% convinced.
I agree with you on Reform and Conservative and OU,. But, it seems to me that Young Israel is headed in the same direction. During one of the rounds of Israeli elections last year, a group of Young Turks in Young Israel came out in support of one of their rabbis with written statements lambasting a personal non-official opinion by the head of Y.A., A group of dissenting younger rabbis seems to be following a politically correct dummer.
SHe is complaining that her opponent has received Jewish money, not to be trusted.
