Progressives defend Omar, prompting House Dems to delay vote condemning anti-Semitism
Fox News ^ | 06 MARCH 2019 | Lukas Mikelionis

A House vote on a resolution condemning anti-Semitism, following recent comments by U.S. Rep Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has been delayed, as Democrats scramble to rewrite the motion to include all forms of prejudice and progressives like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez come to the defense of their embattled colleague.

The declaration – which doesn’t mention Omar by name – was initially set to be introduced Wednesday. It was to set out the history of anti-Semitism and other bigotry in America and provide examples of anti-Jewish tropes about divided loyalties.

It was also supposed to say the House “rejects anti-Semitism as hateful expressions of intolerance that are contradictory to the values that define the people of the United States.”

The resolution effort came after Omar – for at least the second time in recent months – ignited an uproar for echoing anti-Semitic tropes.

In February, she suggested on Twitter that supporters of Israel have been bought, and that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) contributes to pro-Israel politicians despite the fact that the group does not make campaign contributions. The congresswoman then accused American supporters of Israel of pushing people to have “allegiance to a foreign country.”

She and others like her are quickly becoming the fact of the Democrat Party. Scripture says in the Last Days, all will be against Israel. So, the Democrat Party will turn the United States against Israel to fulfill prophecy. We will become a completely apostate nation then.

Sadly I think Liberal American Jews will continue to vote Democrat no matter how this turns out.

**************

It seems that many Jews are innately programmed to be Democrats. I have never known one who changed their liberal views, no matter what facts were presented to them.

“This is fodder for 2020, if we can get the word out.”

The way Ilham Omar acts, she might as well be an agent of Hamas or the PLO, using the U.S. Congress as a platform to spew anti-Israel, anti-Semitic hatred.

And by allowing Ms. Omar to do this, Nancy Pelosi might as well be an agent of the Republican party.

American voters are overwhelmingly pro-Israel, and, since 9/11, not particularly enamored of activist Muslims like Ms. Omar. So anything Nancy and her minions can do to portray the Democratic party as anti-Semitic and pro-Muslim will be appreciated by Republicans.

Liberal American Jews take note-the beast you nurtured slouches towards Bethlehem.

And deserve everything that's coming to them. Leftard Christians too. What's the saying? "First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people"...

“Every time I see the word PROGRESIVE my mind translates it as NAZI.”

Then your mind does it wrong. “Progressive” is a euphemism for communist which is what they really are but they aren’t quite ready to identify themselves as such. NSDAP and communists were mortal enemies.

So, the Dems have a governor who has either worn blackface or dressed up as a KKK member who remains in office, and a virulent anti-Semite in the House that is currently being protected from being condemned by a vote of the House. If the GOP doesn't make use of these opportunities, then they need to close up shop.

I grew up in an area with a lot of these liberals (Jewish and Christian).

There is probably an evil hard-core of about 1% who want to steal your stuff and/or kill you in pursuit of political goals.

Most of the rest of them are just brainwashed by the education system and the media. They associate their views with virtue, and believe it would be evil to change them.

They can be gently nudged towards common sense, one issue at a time—if they do not believe that one of those “evil crazy right wingers” is the person talking to them. ;-)

Abdul didn’t even come close. Michigan isn’t diversified except for a few cities down by the border. 3/4 of this state is villages with hunting as the predominant theme, trucks and beer coming in second together, and patriotism right behind.

Nancy will just make sure that AOC gets in trouble for her latest crime with the campaign funds. That should put an end to her if and only if the dems pursue it.

Who came up with the term anti-Semitism?

Jews are a Semitic people. So are Muslim Arabs. The former have been victims for centuries, the later have been mostly perps.

They’ll turn it into a “teachable moment” for white people. We whites need to understand why muslim terrorists, islamists, black radicals, LGBTQ all hate us, and how this is really all our fault.

The antisemitism is small potatoes, trivial.

What matters really is the Black Caucus. The bill must not allow criticism of any thing black. Black is what really matters

Delaying the vote condemning anti-Semitism is anti-Semitic itself.

If there are any American Jews voting Democrat these days, then they are either smoking tons of reefer or just simply insane.

The two little Democrat, Congressional Muslim cuties, the nutcase, Democrat, Congress Critter, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the insane old fool, buffoon, “Jewish” Bernie Sanders are running the Democrat Party these days.

Speaker of the House, Democrat, Nancy Pelosi & Minority Leader of the Senate, Democrat, Chuck Schumer are hiding in a closet somewhere inside the “Capital Building”.

The Democrat Party mantra in fashion these days is, Hating Jews, Hating Israel, Hating America, Hating American Deplorables, hating religions, other then Muslim, Hating POTUS, Donald J. Trump, Loving Cuba, Loving Venezuela, Loving Castro, Loving Maduro...shall I continue?

And...amazing as it is, American Jews will still vote for Democrats....they have never learned that “Never Again” can be repeated!!! Sad & Sickening at the same time!!! Go figure!!!
