Anti-Semitism is getting sneaky
American Thinker ^ | 2 Jan, 2022 | Pandra Selivanov

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.

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.

I know, self-loathing Jews is who these are.

Meanwhile, in other news, the latest of a long history, past and present: preferential treatment for Arabs over Jews in democratic Israel (vs apartheid slur):
An Arab vehicle passes; A Jewish vehicle was stopped at the checkpoint again by the army's forces stopping the vehicles that make their way to settling a Homesh settlement for Melave Malka. Residents testified that at the military checkpoint enables Arab vehicles to pass and stop only the Jews.

Mr. Jew Hater names anyone who disagreees with him as ‘insolent’.

It makes one more person that can tell that you are human garbage.   Actually it isn't hard to see.

Does anyone think for a moment that all this anti-white racism won’t soon clarify itself to include anti-Semitism?
It has for a long time. Leftist propaganda makes Jews in America the Whitest of Whites (ie most priviledged) Israeli European.
