    She's a one-woman anti-semitism social media machine. Literally EVERYTHING is anti-semitic.

    Also the first few "exchanges" on the linked twitter thread make me think the whole thing is just people banging their heads against each other's walls:

    It's accurate, and not a smear.

    Hey, you know what is REALLY accurate? Israel slaughtering literally hundreds of unarmed Palestinian protestors, wounding thousands more, while the entire world literally sits and watches and does nothing. People are waking up to the truth. Israel will pay for their slaughter.

    “Between March 30 and November 19, security forces killed 189 Palestinian demonstrators, including 31 children and 3 medical workers, and wounded more than 5,800 with live fire.”

    There's no better description than brainwashed for some of the people I see on those twitter threads. Anything that doesn't fit with their view is never considered on its merits and is just instantly shouted down and decried.

    Ilhan Omar has definitely put herself at the top of the "must attack" list of a lot of powerful enemies.

    The idea that the Israel "lobby" does not have extraordinary influence on U.S. politics is so indefensible it's ridiculous. It's this acceptance of the absurd that drives me crazy. Well , that and the obvious dishonesty combined with the fake piety.
