No, you're wrong. I despise her as much as you do, but she is Caucasian. Being a Somali or Palestinian is her nationality or ethnicity. She probably self-identifies as a POC, but it's really just another case of a self-loathing Liberal Caucasian. As I mentioned, she may have some Negroid ancestors, but she is primarily white.

Are you saying we have to blindly agree with and love everything Israel does or else we are antisemitic?
We don't like the double standards as much as you don't like how Israel is treating unprovoked butchers.

Already represented not in the current time of 1924, but back in 1890, before the influx of Jews and Catholics.

Quote:
Quotas for specific countries were based on 2% of the U.S. population from that country as recorded in 1890.[2] As a result, populations poorly represented in 1890 were prevented from immigrating in proportionate numbers—especially affecting Italians, Jews, Greeks, Poles and other Slavs.[1][3][4]

That is what probably pissed off Senator Hart (a Catholic) and Emanuel Celler (a Jewish congressman) enough to write the 1965 act. So part of the blame goes to the 1924 congress. Celler was in office at the time, and he was one of the few “no” votes. I would bet if it had been done more fairly in 1924, there wouldn’t have been the urgency to change it in 1965.

Our local newspaper editor just did a cable news commentary which he does daily. In it he detailed Congresswoman Talib's anti Israeli activism, Palestines terrorist ties to Iran and then ended it wondering where we find these people and under what rock? LOL, brilliant.

Again I do not know their family bloodline - but dna is only thing I can go with.

True, the 1924 Act was to partly remediate the surge of poor immigrants and problems of mass immigration 1880-1920. The 1890 census still represented the people over 100 years after the revolution and in my view the people 250 years after the real start. Regardless, it was of questionable motivation to get rid of the quotas, leave alone globalize and increase immigration in 1965. The globalization of immigration seems especially spiteful.

Maybe, but as I said, there is a lot of blame to go around. It wasn’t just the work of the two guys who wrote the bill. Congress had enough votes in both houses. They had every opportunity to make changes before signing off on it. And Johnson signed off on it.

Of course but it was concocted with bad motivations, bad information and sold on lies at the time of its passage. And here it is over 50 years later and we're still saddle with it, and open borders, multiculturalism and minority majority is stronger than ever. And we're still being mislead, lied to, and cowed into not demanding it be changed.

I could the progressives keeping her around as a useful idiot, but she's not being very useful. I mean she's whacky enough to completely dominate the 2020 dem primary if she was running.

Would someone define "antisemitism" and give examples of exactly how those two congresswomen are antisemitic according to the definition?
