i know. more joos being upset. caitlin here displays aspects of the 'anti-semitic' charges against a muslim congressional critter for saying israel controls our empire that haven't been made well enough in previous posts, to my thinking;
In response to criticisms made by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar that US
political leaders have too much allegiance to Israel and its lobbying
groups, House Democrats have put forward an entire House resolution in
accordance with demands made by AIPAC and the Anti-Defamation League.
“The
backlash [over Omar’s comments] continued on Monday, as the
Anti-Defamation League wrote a letter to Pelosi calling for a House
resolution to specifically reject what the organization calls Omar’s
‘latest slur,'” Politico reports.
“‘We urge you and your colleagues to send the unambiguous message that
the United States Congress is no place for hate,’ the group’s CEO,
Jonathan Greenblatt, wrote in a letter.”
“The charge of dual
loyalty not only raises the ominous specter of classic anti-Semitism,
but it is also deeply insulting to the millions upon millions of
patriotic Americans, Jewish and non-Jewish, who stand by our democratic
ally, Israel,” tweeted the Israel lobbying group AIPAC on Friday in response to Omar’s comments.
“I
hope @AIPAC isn’t too angry that it took Democratic House leaders
almost 48 whole hours to do what they’re told to condemn their own
member and will instead be understanding that it was a weekend and
that’s what caused the delay,” snarked journalist Glenn Greenwald in response to the news of the House resolution.............https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2019/03/05/israel-lobby-refutes-omars-claims-about-its-immense-influence-by-exerting-its-immense-influence/
