I rarely post from the Journal since it's a paysite, but this was a particularly good editorial.
What does she imagine would happen to the Jews who inhabit the land if Israel were replaced by “Palestine”? Whether she envisions expulsion or genocidal war, the malign intent is unmistakable.Perhaps we can drop the charade that obsessive hatred of Israel has anything to do with tropes, stereotypes, cultural insensitivity and the like. Such talk permits wrongdoers to claim credibly that they were not aware of a particular Jewish sensitivity. And it makes fools of us all, as lies tend to do.
As long as Democrats continue to condemn anti-Semitism while trivializing its presence within their party, this anti-Semitism is unlikely to subside. Melissa Byrne, a former aide to Sen. Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign, tweeted of Ms. Omar: “She is a new MoC”—member of Congress—“figuring out how to navigate calling out AIPAC (which is a terrible organization aligned with Bibi).” The soft bigotry of low expectations: Ms. Omar is new here! She didn’t know it was offensive to accuse pro-Israel Jews of graft.
Sometimes hate is just hate. But threats cause alarm because of what they hope to achieve, not because they are hurtful in themselves. Democrats should stop pretending that hatred is a matter of feelings and take Ms. Omar, Ms. Tlaib and their compatriots at their word.
That Omar was just disgusting in Congress today with Mr. Abrams. Abrams is of Jewish descent and he’s hooked nosed to boot. That must have really triggered the muzzie.
I wish Abrams would have called her out on her blatant anti-Jewishness on the spot.
A Jew hating racist party, that has a street bully group, hates free speech, loves socialism, seeks war with Russia and a close alliance with Islam, and has no problem with euthanasia...
It just rings a bell. I know it’ll come to me...
Any alliance they form will fracture and weaken every time the party poll numbers improve in a national race and lead to one or more independent parties growing out of the current democrat party. The Democrat party will survive, and may even become nationally strong again for a while longer, but they're heading for an implosion worse than and lasting longer than what followed Chicago in '68.
Basically, their chances for national office victories depends entirely on whether or not they can fracture or induce apathy in Republicans and Independents to a greater extent than they themselves are fractured at any point in time.
Hence, the huge number of trolls dropping their masks of late here and there on the web at places 'Conservatives' gather and NeverTrump notables dropping their pretense of accepting Trump.

Who couldn’t see this coming? The universities have been pushing this crap forever and since 9/11, radicals and foolish liberals have done nothing but curry favor with islamics - this after the death of thousands! We are reaping the whirlwind.
