Want to combat hate? Stop the hazing of Ilhan Omar and start listening.
Washington Post ^ | March 6, 2019 | Wajahat Ali and Rabia Chaudry

Posted on 03/07/2019 6:29:24 AM PST by C19fan

The firestorm around Rep. Ilhan Omar’s recent tweets about the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and criticism of Israel has drawn attention to what language rises to the level of anti-Semitism, the shameful double standards for Muslims and people of color, and how anti-Semitism is often hypocritically used as a political bludgeon. GOP leadership has called for an official censure and her removal from the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and House Democrats called for a resolution this week denouncing anti-Semitism after Omar recently tweeted, “I should not be expected to have allegiance/pledge support to a foreign country in order to serve my country,” which some have said plays on the anti-Semitic trope of dual loyalty. Notably, no such outrage from Republican members of Congress emerged after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy used anti-Semitic tropes during the 2018 midterm election or during much of the tenure of Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who has a long history of making offensive comments about race and white nationalism.

If it walk like a duck, quacks like a duck, it is a duck. Omar is an anti-Semite.
.................................
In answer to the question in the headline: NO, I don’t want to combat hate. I hate anyone and everyone who would consciously seek to harm me, my family, my friends, or my country. And I hate them enough to hurt them, and I want them to clearly understand that.

Omar is an anti-Semite.

Of this there is no doubt. No amount of editorializing and hand-waving is going to change that.

Bezos defends anti-Semitism.

Bezos in my view is a POS, and the sooner someone takes him down the better.

REMINDER TO ALL:

The DEMOCRAT Party is the largest HATE GROUP in America.
Repeat it in every conversation you can.

AND ask:

Why does the Democrat Party hate Jews so much?

The WaPo says shut up and listen? But what if we don’t like being lectured to by arrogant fools and haters?

The Left is attempting to control the language we in the West use and they have already redefined the word "hate."

"Hate" is the disapproval of anything the Left includes as acceptable.

Ergo, the disapproval of anti-Semitism or Jew-hatred is, itself, "hate."

To the Left, a person who disapproves of the Left is a "hater."

The word "hater" is often interchangeable with the accusation of "racist."

Shame on Minnesota for electing this woman.
.......................................
The good people of Minnesota need to get organized and then rid their beautiful state of the vermin who elected this American-hating and Jew-hating trash.

Leave it to the WaPo to carry on its time-honored tradition of attempting to excuse the inexcusable.

Bloody doom on the lot of them.

When we talk about allegiance, there is only one; America. She can support or not support any other country, but first, she needs to work within the foreign policy framework and be willing to die for America, not some sh!th0le.

Muslim anti Semitism is at the heart of nearly all terrorist attackis. America’s support of Israel was the motivation for 9/11. Now in 2019, we have a Muslim in Congress spewing ant Semitic hatred. Terrorism will engulf America if this is allowed to continue, if Omar is allowed to lend authority to this hate.
