It nice how predictable all these threads degrade to the lefties just calling people names.

How do you not see the blatant racism in your own sentence?
THEY ARE NOT FROM THOSE COUNTRIES. THEY ARE NOT ORIGINALLY FROM THOSE COUNTRIES.

What "anyone without TDS could probably figure out" is that their ETHNICITIES are from those countries.

In one breath you're saying they are not American, and that their ethnicities should dictate that their priorities are to those of another country - all based on nothing but their race. How do you not see that?

You are utterly missing what makes this racist.

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.

.......it sure sounds like you are anti-Israel.

My understanding is that Omar did tweet that, and regretted the characterization, apologized, and deleted the tweet. That's not to say Israel is immune from criticism and certainly innocents on the receiving end of Israel's sometimes heavy handed retaliation shouldn't feel that way. It's just verboten to speak that way of Israel in the West, and probably for good reason.

That said, what do you make of Donald Trump's moral equivalency of the United States to Putin's Russia killing journalists? Surely that falls squarely into the THEY HATE AMERICA!!! camp to which he's referring, no?



Trump flat out excused Russia's assassination of journalists by saying we're just as bad. I mean, that's exactly the kind of shit he's calling Omar and OAC "America Haters" for. Show me where I'm wrong.

Could she not be "pro Palestine" as opposed to "anti-Semitic"?
