Yeah, I'm confused as fuck when I see a groper (most likely a CUB), trying to dictate what is and isn't American.

From the link (because you failed to bother actually doing any actual work to defend your defenseless position and provide quotes):
That is one of the two quotes from her in the article. It is hardly hostile and many people, nations were saying the exact same thing. It is a sane reflection on the issue of Trump just arbitrarily changing foreign policy. The other quote is a free of context "speaking truth to power". So your link, of which I think you mistook my request for quotes of the Representative for opinions of other people, didn't actually contain a single thing you alleged it did.article said:
Wanna try again? I doubt it. You don't believe in truth.

It's not 'arbitrarily changing foreign policy'. The Jerusalem Embassy Act, which recognized Jerusalem as capital of Israel, was passed in 1995.
They hate America because they are pro illegal immigration, anti-ICE, hate Jews, and sympathize with Hamas.
If you claim they are not anti-Semitic, then explain why they don't want us giving money to Israel (an ally) and they don't complain about the other allies we give money to.
I look forward to the day you back up any of your assertions with proof.
It actually requires MORE evidence to find a Muslim who doesn't hate the Jews. Obviously, Jews hate Muslims too but it's the Muslims who refuse to lay down their weapons.
Every Muslim I know couldn't give a shit about Israel. Never heard Waleed Aly rant against Israel either. I guess it's hard to find Catholic priests who aren't pedophiles, or Trump supporters who aren't racist, by your logic.

Do you remember when the guy shot up the synagogue a couple months ago? The next day, Muslims came to the synagogue to provide protection to the Jews worshipping there. That's a strange thing to do for Muslims that hate Jews and refuse to lay down their weapons.
It must be hell to live in such a black and white world.

Something else to add. A lot of your Trump-loving brethren think Trump is a racist and they too hate Jews.
Scratch that. That's a derail.
Your attacks on Muslims make sense when applied to Islamists, but an awful lot of Muslims, especially in non-Muslim lands, are reasonably secular and don't act as you think.

The Squad: A New Culture In Town
By Nonie Darwish - on July 20, 2019 A new political culture has arrived in Washington with the election of Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley. Ilhan Omar sounded exactly like Muslim leaders who historically threatened Israel by declaring they will be Israel’s nightmare, but in the case of Omar, she was referring the President of the United States. In perfect harmony with Arab culture of threats to Israel, Ilhan Omar declared she will be Trump’s nightmare.
These four members of congress burst into the political scene to revive the dismantled Obama dreams to fundamentally transform America from a capitalist Constitutional Republic Superpower to just another (nothing special) ‘Socialist Democrat State’.
They call themselves the squad and unabashedly embrace Socialism, anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism and flaunt an especially radical kind of Islam that is pro-Hamas and that has been abandoned today by several moderate Muslim countries.
The squad has become the symbol of the merger of socialism/communism (Red) and Islam (Green) in American politics. Recently, Omar and Tlaib have added one more layer of outrage in support of the anti-Semitic BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement. These women carry themselves with an attitude of ‘you owe me’. They unapologetically blame and insult America and President Trump every chance they get. When Tlaib was asked about the M—-r F—-r public insult of the President she refused to apologize and said that is how she and her constituency speak; an interesting addition to the political dialogue in America.
Sadly, these women represent a good portion of the new generation of Americans who were brought up with distorted history of America, misguided values and indoctrination by leftist educational institutions. They are encouraged into viewing themselves as victim “women of color” which in the mind of Leftists entitles them to a special status to not be questioned and to expectations and power over others. In other words, being women of color means ‘we are above criticism and entitled to insult you and if you object then you are a racist.’
Such openly rebellious behavior by politicians against the political system of a country could only be tolerated in the Liberal culture of Western politics of today but would never be tolerated in socialist or Islamic countries, which is the national origin of some of the members of the squad.
Unlike free societies, oppressive socialist and Islamic cultures breed an atmosphere of fear and distrust where citizens get ahead by stepping on each other, through deception and playing the victim. That has penetrated the American political system where calling oneself “a person of color” could bring with it a lot of power.

Meanwhile not a word is uttered of this Muslim's anti semitism and hatred of Jews and Israel in particular. But this is okay because after all she hails from the far left which makes it okay!

Oh goody, my favorite. Rehash.
I'll ignore for now that spiked online is a Koch funded propaganda outlet (something they only disclosed after the story was published), let's see what the article accuses Ilhan Omar that is so anti-semitic:
1) Called upon God to expose Israel - well, this has been discussed. If criticism of Israel is anti semitism, there are a lot of self hating Jews around the world.
2) "It's all about the Benjamins" Well, she apologized for that. And to say the AIPAC is not a lobby group is disingenuous at best, but most likely dishonest. Oh and here's a Jew, quoting another Jew on why Ilhan Omar is correct:
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoMeUbDp39w[/youtube]
Are you implying these two Jews are anti-semites? Let's be very clear; criticizing Israel when it does dodgy shit does not make one anti-semitic.
3) She smiled.
That's the entirety of Omar's "racially charged tropes". I guess, "The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day" isn't a racially charged trope.

What I find incredibly distasteful is that Omar's Benjamins comment wasn't saying Jews are supporting Israel for the money... she was saying that some Republicans only support Israel because of the lobbying money. The statement wasn't anti-Semitic.
Apparently that's anti-semitic now.

Interesting article. It provides examples of the things Rep. Omar said in the form of random, context-free quotes so the author can declare what she meant rather than allow the readers to reach their own conclusions.
"All about the Benjamins" is presented as a straight up anti-Jew smear, not in the context of Omar criticizing the influence of vast amounts of money pouring into Washington DC in the form of lobbying and political donations, and the accurate assessment that the pro-Israel lobby is one of the biggest players in that game.
"Israel has hypnotized the world" and a prayer Allah will "awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel" is presented like she was just her blurting out random anti-Semitic thoughts, not a response to things like this.
It's not very clever, but it can be very effective.

She could have said it better, like pointing out that there is a big and very well-financed Israeli lobby that will defend Israel no matter what.
Or this: The US elections and pandering to Israel - Reuters
Or saying "Criticism of Israel is very different from saying things like 'Jews will not replace us' or 'I wish Hitler was more successful'"
