“She [Ilhan Omar] has made a name for herself
not by talking about the concerns of Minnesotans,
but by the outrageous manner in which she
has trafficked in anti-Semitic tropes as
she pursues her advocacy against Israel.

Along with Tlaib, she is one of the only two
open supporters of the anti-Semitic BDS movement
that promotes boycotts against the State of Israel.

She has claimed that Jews are buying
the support of Congress for Israel
and questioned the loyalty of her
congressional colleagues who are pro-Israel.

Despite this, the Democrats elevated
[Ilhan] Omar to a seat on the House
Foreign Relations Committee and refused to
name her in a resolution denouncing anti-Semitism.”

“If even a popular, pro-Israel Jewish Democrat
like Adler was afraid to stand up to Ilhan Omar
in his own city, then it’s not clear under
what circumstance any member of that party
would think they could afford to do so.

That means that the battle to quarantine
an anti-Semite like Omar to the margins
of American politics has been lost.

Not only are she and Tlaib among the young
rock stars of their party, they have
far greater influence than anyone would
have thought only a few months ago.”

“Like most of the rest of the Democrats,
[Pete] Buttigieg [mayor of South Bend] seems
to see Israel’s legitimacy as linked to the
creation of a Palestinian state alongside it.”
................................................

“At its core, the Democrats’ conception
of the U.S.-Israel relationship is
that of a great power and a client
state that must do as it’s told.”

“We were fooling ourselves if we thought
that anti-Semitism had disappeared.

And if the left wing of the Democratic Party
achieves dominance, you can be sure it will increase.”
