JNS.org – US Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has reportedly been spearheading a resolution explicitly condemning antisemitism that he plans to introduce this week.
Jewish Insider reported the development on Friday, citing “a source familiar with the plan” who said it is “just a condemnation of antisemitism. There’s nothing extraneous. The entire thing clocks in at just over 100 words.”
It comes one day after the US House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a resolution condemning antisemitism and other forms of bigotry.
The House legislation was in response to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who on Sunday defended her recent remarks accusing her “Jewish colleagues” for attacking her and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) for labeling every criticism of theirs as anti-Israel because of the faith of the two congresswomen, in addition to slamming her critics regarding “the political influence in this country that says it is OK to push for allegiance to a foreign country.”
It is unclear if the Cruz resolution, unlike the House version, will call out Omar or any members of Congress explicitly.

Good.
Why don’t they say anti-Jewish..?
“Semites” includes Assyrians, Marionites, Druze and many others.
Good for him.
Why do people get called “Caucasian?” They are all descendants of the Caucus region?
Do it. That woman has on business being in Congress. We can NOT have people like her in Congress, period.
Good, now that we got that out of the way let’s go ahead and build a wall, reduce the deficit, take away North Korea’s toys, and either fish or cut bait with a China trade deal.
I’m “black Irish”

Caucasian. 1807, from Caucasus Mountains, between the Black and Caspian seas; applied to the "white" race 1795 (in German) by German anthropologist Johann Blumenbach, because its supposed ancestral homeland lay there; since abandoned as a historical/anthropological term.
They should make it illegal to hurt someone’s feelings under penalty of death
Won’t the white supremacist feel left out?
Resolutions are a waste of time as is most of the Congress.
And the point of this silly grandstanding IS...?????
There’s not ONE person on planet earth who’s going to stop being an anti-semite / bigot / whatever because these assholes in congress pass a resolution condemning it.
The point is to embarrass and expose the Democrats in Congress, who can’t support even a toothless, symbolic measure like this one without seriously alienating their self-righteous, bigoted base.
Sorry, we don’t need more self serving virtue signalling from beltway politicians. We need action and not gum flapping. Teddy Bear Cruz is has steadfastly refused to fuly support POTUS on the NEA. Therefore, I’m not interested at all in anything he has to say. Period.
The same Cruz also condemned Trump voters after the assault on Trump’s Chicago rally. He also insists that the invasion across our borders is not a national emergency.
The man is unstable, and obviously so are those who still lionize him.
Better than Whitey O’Rourke however.
Be careful or the pom-pom boys will come after you.
