[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Rahm Emmanuel comments in dual loyal accusations https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/03/ilhan-omars-dual-loyalty-charge-was-anti-semitic/584314/[/quote]

Of course, accusing Jews of having dual loyalty is anti-Semitic and Omar didn't do that.

Its not clear who she was accusing of "dual allegiance" since she did not use either the words Jew, evangelical, or member of congress.  Not clear if its her poor English (something few seem willing to mention - granted POTUS has gotten people used to poor English and resulting ambiguity) or it was deliberate.   Given that Jews are a big piece of the support for Israel, and that Jews (rather more than evangelicals and congress members) who have historically been accused of dual loyalty, one might have expected her to be sensitive to that.

Perhaps it just inexperience.  Now that this resolution has been passed, perhaps she will conduct herself like a worthy member of congress, not like a college sophomore, or like a Tea Party congressman. We shall see. [/quote]
