I’m really tired of seeing the word “anti-Semitic” thrown around whenever there is criticism of Israel. Let it be known that calling out the government of Israel for its oppressive policies and crimes against humanity as well as AIPAC, a Pro-Israel lobby group that is effective in influencing Congress Members, is NOT anti-Semitic. It’s funny how the moment Ilhan Omar called out AIPAC for buying Congress, she was swiftly reprimanded by said Congress, which in no way proves her point at all. Total coincidence I’m sure. Anti-Semitism is real, but let’s stop misusing the label. I stand with Ilhan Omar, and I commend her for having the courage to say what most people wouldn’t dare say in her position. That’s a woman I will surely stand behind.
