  But is Omar really antisemitic? Yes she did make negative comments against the Israeli government and some of their terrible actions throughout the years.  But I think most of what she said is quite fair.  She condemned the actions of many groups and governments. 
  I'm against a lot of the actions that the US , Canadian and other various governments have committed over their history, does not mean I hate the whole race. 
  Could she have chosen her words more carefully, probably. 
  But when you compare what she says in contrast to the right, I would say it is pretty mild. 
  I think an important question to ask is, is she making a difference in her role? This is how everyone in government should be judged, but sadly we just look at the R our the D, the right vs the left and ignore all else.
  Edit to clarify government
context: Republicans talk out both ends and it smells equally as shitty. >
  
  It's simple really: They only want rules to apply to democrats. >
  
  Wilhoit's law:
  “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." >
  
  its just like everything, they dont actually believe in anything or have any sincerely held beliefs. they dont care about women, until they use them in discussing trans issues. they dont care about children, until they use them in abortion discussions. they dont care about the constitution, until they bring up the 2nd amendment... etc, etc.
  the will just feign outrage over any topic that will get their base worked up but they have no consistency or substance >
  
  The Republican Party is turning into everything they tell their base they're fighting against. What a bunch of bitchy little hypocrites. >
  
  
  The Republican Party is ~~turning into~~ everything they tell their base they're fighting against.
  
  Every accusation a confession... >
  
  How long is it going to take for people to realize we have a fully formed and functioning neo-Confederacy flush with cash from the oil industry and Christian Nationalists, who are focused on destroying democracy, rolling back civil rights, undermining the rule of law, and turning the US into an authoritarian surveillance state? >
  
  Hastily taking off his makeup, George Santos denied that he was responsible for the space lasers, apparently walking back his "Jew-ish" affiliation. >
  
  Why keep focusing on this silly comment and Paul Gosar's anime video? Marj and Paul Gosar are both on committees and have both spoken at white nationalist conferences. Call it out for real. >
  
  Marj was at CPAC with a giant banner that read "Yes we're all terrorists." I'm not sure why most people ignored them telling the truth for once. >
  
  Picture of the banner itself, for the curious.
  I remember reading that when it came on C-Span and being blown away by what I was seeing. Truly horrible. >
  
  What.. the… fuck? >
  
  It was satirical, but still... >
  
  Satire requires both intelligence and a sense of humor. Republicans don't do satire very well. >
  
  We are on a steady train towards fascism. If you stand silent while books are banned, LGBTQ are hated, and black women are barred from House committees, then you are the problem. >
  
  Nobody actually believes any of the GOP bullshit "reasoning". Republican politicians are posturing for power, the base sees it like entertainment, just another an episode of WWE. >
  
  Nobody as in nobody rational. There's a major swath of americans that completely believe everything and anything the republicans and republican controlled media tells them to. >
  
  AOC seems unaware of the GQP-KKK approved list of antisemitic tropes. Anything Jewish remotely related to Christian End Times is sacrosanct. Anything else remotely Jewish is fair game for criticism to calumny. >
  
  GOP, anti-semitic, but somehow pro-Zionist. >
  
  Zionism is perceived at hastening Armageddon. >
  
  Takes a pretty sick death cult to want Armageddon. >
  
  Isnt that most death cults? >
  
  Healthy death cults want to die from a marijuana overdose. >
  
  I’ll smoke myself to death, or die trying! >
  
  Preach, brother. >
  
  If Anti Semitism is the test every QAnon adherent in congress should be kicked off every committee. >
  
  I want to see Republicans’ response to this 1-minute speech by AOC that was 10x more inspiring than anything Kevin McCarthy has said in his tenure. >
  
  They used to conflate criticism of Israel with hatred of Jews and call both anti-Semitism. Now they've taken the next step: criticism of Israel is called anti-Semitism, while hatred of Jews is not. >
  
  Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes. >
  
  I mean, no one will ever accuse republicans of being logical but it’s insulting that they pretend that there’s logic behind their actions. 
  Like anyone with half a brain can see that the antisemitic party doesn’t care about condemning antisemitism but we’re supposed to believe that’s the case because they say so, despite dumbass Marg consistently rises in their ranks. Good on AOC for calling them out but since republican voters have less than half a brain, what’s clear to everyone else doesn’t really matter to them. >
  
  Never forget or minimize the fact that when MTG brought up Jewish space lasers she was saying that there is a Jewish conspiracy TO ASSASSINATE SANTA CLAUS.
  I feel like not enough emphasis makes it past the first half of the statement.
