The answer to Trump's racism against Muslims, Latinos, and others is not Omar's racism against Jews.

Starting to question my support for Democrats.

Interesting -- just reading a tweet thread from a Jew who agrees with Ilhan Omar -- he wonders if that makes him anti-Semitic .

And small point but Jews aren't a race -- they are a religion.

But don't let that stop you from pretending you know something

Perhaps you ought to question why you're calling everybody a racist?

The democrats either turn a blind eye or sugar coat the racists, sexists and homophobes in their own party. They absolutely had no issue with the Clintons and yet were out for blood when it came to Kavanaugh. Both parties are bunch of hypocrites.

Maybe she’s the only honest Democrat? You do know about their long history of racism right?

As people like Omar and Tlaib become more vocal and influential, the Jewish power brokers in Congress and the media may tone down their support for the Democrats. Most of the power brokers in the media are Jewish and same with Washington. If Omar doesn't stop this, she will start to see more and more negative media coverage of her and her agenda blocked in Washington by the Jewish power brokers. Typically the Jewish power brokers and donors are liberal, but when their own nation is under attack, their support for Israel will take precedence over their liberalism on domestic American issues. The leader of the Jewish people, Prime Minister Netanyahu, has been very open about his support for Trump and I'm sure the Jewish power brokers take note of that.

Jews are powerful in America because they are a blessed group because God has always been with them in my opinion. I remember when the Bible says who to bless the children of Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed.

I'm Jewish and find nothing anti-Semitic in her statement. She has the right to hold opinions on a very controversial foreign policy issue. The evangelicals get their collective panties in a twist because they need the real estate in Israel for their long overdue Rapture festivities that are never coming.

When the Israeli Prime Minister has officially been charged with corruption, there's plenty of non-racist stuff in there to criticize Israel. And since there are damned few officials in Israel who aren't Jewish, race has nothing to do with it.

It's not a racist question in the first place. This is a religious dispute, not a race dispute. Both Judaism and Islam have many races within them both, just as Christianity has.

The first thing I could find on this topic says just the opposite of the premise of your thread:

Democrats Planning Another Public Rebuke Of Rep. Ilhan Omar

https://www.npr.org/2019/03/04/70016...rep-ilhan-omar

To rebuke is to express sharp disapproval or criticism of (someone) because of their behavior or actions.

I will say. At least she's being honest with her antisemitism. Many leftists try to hide it, but she's vocal about it.
