Ilhan Omar is making a strenuous and careful effort to criticize the power of Israel's lobby while rejecting antisemitism.

The lobby's supporters try, as usual, to muddy the line so as to paint her as "antisemitic".

US right-wing extremists, up to the bullshitter himself, have poured out antisemitism for years, but the only person Congress plans to censure for "antisemitism" is Ilhan Omar — for her criticism of Israel's occupation of Palestine, which is not antisemitism.

The resolution to condemn her misrepresents what she said, also.

Republicans are trying to use Congressional Democrats' false accusations of "antisemitism" against Ilhan Omar as a base to pressure them to take away Ilhan Omar's committee assignments.

The Democrats' varied responses to Ilhan Omar correlate with funding from the lobby that supports Israel's occupation policies.

The House of Representatives was considering a resolution to condemn Rep. Ilhan Omar, but modified it to condemn antisemitism and anti-Muslim bigotry. Ilhan Omar voted for it. I would have voted for it too.

The only point I critique is the use of the absurd expression "people of color", because color is not something one can be "of". How about "disprivileged racial groups"?

A transcript of Ilhan Omar's remarks on replacing the Israeli occupation of Palestine with peace, and dignity for all, shows there is no antisemitism in it
