But she criticized Israel's brutal far-right government for committing crimes against humanity, so she's obviously an antisemite.

In recent history, House Republicans demand the ability to sabotage everything while they are in the minority, and demand that no one else is allowed to be heard while they are in the majority.

Let's not give in to their demands.

The only time that happens is when progressives start getting, "uppity". Other than that they are passively complicit.

The Republicans are slowly backing into the bunker. Alienating one group in order to shore up their base. Women with their stance on abortion and now Muslims and non-Christians with this. They weren't going to get a large share of the votes but this loses them that.

I'm actually rather curious to see if the dummies are going to be able to accomplish anything after they kick all of the smart people out of the most important committees. It's gonna be a hoot. They'll still blame the Democrats, and it's going to be fun to hear the Democrats' response.

What are you talking about? They already passed a bipartisan resolution utterly  defeating socialism! Sounds like they're pretty accomplished already.

The GOP relationship with Israel and the Jews is an interesting thing to watch.

They LOVES them some Israel because "bible stuff happened there".

Jews, on the other hand, are New York liberal, Christ killing, elitist, money grubbing, space laser builders.

And they think they need Israel as part of their plan to bring about the End Of The World, so they can go to Heaven without dying.  Because they think they are more important than the world itself, and everyone on it.

The resolution Thursday explicitly condemned Omar for using an antisemitic trope in 2019 to suggest Israel's allies in U.S. politics were motivated by money rather than principle when she tweeted, "It's all about the Benjamins, baby."

That's it? Because they're Jewish your not allowed to mention money? Wtf?

Not when both parties are fully beholden to both the apartheid, fascist Israeli government AND legalized bribery. Then mentioning both of those things gets you labeled antisemitic by everyone in power.
