Is this a real D schism or is this the centrist Ds planning ahead for 2020 campaigning in districts that could swing R.

So, we all agree, apparently any criticism of Israel means you’re anti Semitic apparently.

Ah it is if you are say American Jews are beholden to Israel. That is ridiculous and a fair interpretation of what she said. That is no better than people who hated Kennedy because they said he would side with the Vatican cause he was catholic.

Edit to add: I voted for Omar and will again.

do funds from that group have to be listed as contributions from a foreign entity? as it is, is isn't exactly the franco-american society :D
 
Re: 116th Congress: Episode 1 - Trial by Fire

AIPAC is definitely beholden to Israel. It's what they do. But not all American Jews are in the cult -- indeed many of them see through it and oppose it. If the target was saying Jews ipso facto are complicit that's either anti-Semitic or remarkably stupid (and exactly the JFK analogy).
 
Re: 116th Congress: Episode 1 - Trial by Fire

Where are all the anti-PC warriors? Shouldn't they be rushing to Omar's defense? It's almost like they're guilty of intellectual dishonesty...but that couldn't be.
