Don't tell me, are you one of the people who still actually believe that Trump called neo-Nazis good people, right?On a related point, do you actually believe Trump when he said that AOC "Called our country 'Garbage'" or that Rep. Omar used the term "Evil Jews?"
Well, to be fair, Rep Omar did tweet "evil doings of Israel" and has been condemned by both side of the aisle for her anti-Semitic comments: https://www.foxnews.com/...mars-israel-comments
But, I do agree AOC's comment was taken out of context. She did not call the US "garbage": https://www.rt.com/...agan-america-cortez/
Why is Israel above criticism?
They seem to do some shitty things that don't help. Given I work in academia, I've run into a number of Jewish people that are pretty critical of Israel. I don't think that makes them anti-Semites.
I hope people are not using anti-Semitism as a shield against criticism of the Israeli government.
Marianne Williamson, who is Jewish, said yesterday that while she disagrees with Omar on many of her comments re Israel, they are not anti-Semitic.
A well-known Democratic activist defending one of her own. Who could have seen that coming?
Several of Rep Omar's Democratic colleagues disagree with Ms. Williamson.
EDIT TO ADD: Remember when Marianne Williamson asked white people to offer a "prayer of apology" to all African-Americans? Fun times! Fun times!

Either way, she's Jewish, disagrees with Omar, but doesn't find her comments to be anti-Semitic. Too often criticism of the Israeli government's policies are labelled anti-Semitic merely to score political points.
Could she not be "pro Palestine" as opposed to "anti-Semitic"?
Sure, but, when your comments reference "the evil doings of Israel," it sure sounds like you are anti-Israel.
Anti Israel doesn’t necessarily mean anti-Semitic.
