[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]The resolution opposing anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim and other hatred is currently being debated in the House. Check C-SPAN if you are interested.

Yet Omar isn't mentioned by name while a certain Republican from Iowa was named 8 weeks ago in the same resolution... double standard?[/quote]

Well, to be fair, King actually said what he was criticized for saying. Omar is being criticized for something she didn't say.

How so?

What part do you want clarified? Omar's remarks are available in the first post of this thread. Read those and try to find where she accused Jews of having dual allegiance. She didn't.
[/quote] why are All her criticisms of Israel and Israeli lobby the same as antisemitic tropes about Jews like Jews control others, Jews own others, etc? I’m jewish, are you? Do you think whites determine what anti black racism is?[/quote]

Other than her tweet in 2012, none of the statements for which she is being criticized are about Israel. In the most recent case, she is being criticized for something she didn't even say. It is not a question of deciding what is anti-Semitic. Just read what she said and compare to what she is being accused of saying.

That’s your interpretation. Too bad every Democrat Jew doesn’t see it the way you do. Do you think they want this? [/quote]

Just read her words. There is nothing to interpret. It is no accident that her entire sentence is almost never quoted. Indeed, even partial quotes are rare. Most common are paraphrases that are completely different than what she actually said.
[/quote] so why are Duke and Farrakhan defending her?[/quote]

I can't speak for them, but they may also be believing the mischaracterizations that are being spread. Is there any reason that you cannot read what she said for yourself?
