re: #36 Brother Holy Cruise Missile of Mild Acceptance

because she criticized the sway she thinks Israel holds over our policies towards Palestine vis a vis money? I honestly don’t get the uproar over this, maybe I am missing something?

From the outside looking in (not Jewish here) but there’s been a long history of stereotyping Jews and money. I honestly don’t think Omar meant it this way at all and I think her apology bears fruit of that. I don’t know though. It is unfortunate that Anti-Semitism I think is way too often thrown out critics of Israel and Israeli policy.
