Rep. Ilhan Omar (D,MN): sanctions are not effective except (implicitly) when applied against Israel. (middle east, legal)

So.....YOU see more hate against Muslims than any other religious groups? Again, that's the liberal mantra (Muslims are one of its protected minorities) driving your perception.

I imagine you would be surprised to learn that there are more hate crimes against Jews than any other religion? MORE than Muslims. And that in terms of percentages, a Jew is more likely to experience a hate crime than a black? But....go right on targeting your hostility toward Israel and its Jews. I honestly don't even think you realize that the reason Isrsel gets singled out is due to anti-semitism, and you, while not antisemitic yourself, go along with the double standards.

Bernie doesn't speak for many Jews as far as I can tell. Once called the most popular Jew in Palestine since Moses, he has also compared Israel to the Nazis. So one extremist supporting another extremist doesn't really add much to the discussion.

Sanders compared Israel to the Nazis? OMG. That alone should disqualify him.

And Bernie Sanders is a CAPETBAGGER New York JEW, but a Secular Progressive Jew.

Again, look at how the Israeli government treats the Palestinians.....

These days, if you are prejudiced against any group except for arabs (and possibly non-Jewish whites), you see some type of backlash for it. But if you show prejudice against these two groups, no one seems to care.

So in conclusion, your paranoia is unfounded, and being anti-Israeli government =/= anti-semitism, they aren't one in the same

Carpetbagger? That would imply he moved to Vermont specifically to get into politics. In actuality, he had been living in Vermont already when he ran for mayor of Burlington.

A correct description of a carpetbagger would be Hillary Clinton. And I say that as someone who voted for her (though was not a supporter)

I’m sorry, which parts of Israel or Palestine look like this?

That's a cheap shot, as no, the Israeli government isn't gassing people (though they have killed several Palestinian civilians with their bombings), our side is more talking about the settlements and walls

It’s not a cheap shot at all. This is what a Jewish person thinks of when they hear the words Hitler or Nazis. So for people to throw around those terms so casually about every “injustice” in the world, is pretty insulting.

YOU, yourself, are even so used to hearing it associated with anything and everything, to the point when someone shows you the real thing, you call it a “cheap shot”.

It was a cheap shot, because you're trying to shut down the conversation with a post like that.

Again, how can you defend the actions of the Israeli government? Increasing settlements, the overcrowding of Gaza, and the illegal occupation of Golan Heights among other things?
