A Tweet on Saturday by anti-Semite U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has revived accusations of anti-Semitism against the freshman congresswoman and member of the far-left “Squad.”
Early Saturday afternoon, Omar reacted to a news report that said businessman Leon Cooperman had decided to back billionaire Michael Bloomberg for president. Both men are billionaires and Jewish.
“I wonder why?” came Omar’s response, which included a “thinking” emoji.
The remark, posted ahead of Omar’s scheduled appearance at a CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations) event in Washington, also drew a response from tennis legend Martina Navratilova, who accused Omar of “assigning labels.”

Omar’s defenders, however, claimed that charges of anti-Semitism against her were overblown, and that Omar’s critics were “obsessed with every word Ilhan says or tweets.”
Of course anti-Semite Linda Sarsour came to her defense:
“Oh for God’s sake, stop this ridiculousness,” wrote Linda Sarsour, a Palestinian-American activist and former leader of The Women’s March, who herself has been accused of anti-Semitism. “This obsession with every word Ilhan says or tweets is tired and it’s getting old.”
Omar’s tweet came as she was preparing to address CAIR at the group’s annual gala in Washington. It was at a CAIR event in March that Omar made her much criticized “some people did something” remark about the terror attacks of Sept. 11, the New York Post reported.

that doesn’t make her an anti-semite
what are you expecting she is Muslim she hates Jews and by the way TRUMP is to here STAY .KEEP AMERICA GREET 2020!!!!!! 😛😛
“I wonder why”.. she made that tweet…oh..maybe.. anti-Semitism?
Again people read anti-semitism into a tweet in order to frame her as an anti-semite.
When Dems and their mainstream media y”sh analyze every tweet by Trump, build towers of complaints on that, and throw around fictional labels that support the false narratives of the hateful Dems, that is OK. But when an avowed anti-Semite and terror supporter tweets something that advances her evil position, there is something wrong with that! Anyone with these ideas is part of my prayers for a huge, disgraceful mapoloh.
This dirty Somali cockroach should be stripped off of her US citizenship and deported back to Somalia where she belongs. There are enough evidence for this: she committed emigration fraud, marriage fraud, tax fraud, student loan fraud, election fraud and many other sleazy crimes, not to mention her support for Muslim terrorism.
I’m sorry, but for once Linda sarsour is right (that feels yucky to say, but what can I do). It most likely (I’d say 99%) has nothing to do with Jewish, but 100% to do with the fact that both are billionaires. The headline she was responding to mentioned “fellow billionaire Michael Bloomberg” saying that she meant the Jewish connection as well is a little too far fetched in my opinion.
In other news Trump tweeted.
Am I anti Semite (Arabs are also Semitic) if I say that Sarsour backs Omar
This doesn’t prove that she is an anti-Semite, but her past record does. Ditto Trump’s past record of very similar statements. They both need to go.

Muslims do not hate Jews who are recognized as “People of the Book” Anti semitism is a Western idea. Muslims have NEVER expelled Jews and the “Golden Age” of Judaism was in Muslim Spain. Talk about the hate against Jesus in the Talmud.
