Why do some Democrats hate Jews so much?

Egypt, for example, isn't under sanctions.

Jewish House Democrats urge Pelosi to denounce Ilhan Omar for ‘hateful tropes’ in tweets
Somebody here better inform them that it wasn't antisemitism |

Jesus Christ watching people not only not being able to conceptualize anything outside of the context of political point scoring but not be able to conceptualize that people exist who are capable of conceptualizing things outside of political point scoring and just assume that's what everybody else is doing too is depressing.

Reps. Josh Gottheimer (N.J.) and Elaine Luria (Va.), who are both Jewish, are collecting signatures for a letter they plan to send to Democratic leaders expressing deep concern over “recent rhetoric from certain members within our Caucus, including just last night, that has disparaged us and called into question our loyalty to our nation.” The letter, which was obtained by POLITICO, is being circulated to Jewish Democrats.

It's part of the immediate context and absolutely relevant to the motivations of all involved.
This thread presupposes without evidence that these tweets were anti-Semitic. I see no reason to believe that. AIPAC is a pro-Israel lobby that moves large amounts of money to mostly conservative lawmakers. Suggesting that these lawmakers are beholden to pro-Israel stances because of that money is a perfectly fair accusation. |

I agree, I'm fairly ambivalent towards Israel and a lot of the anti-Israel stuff rings hollow considering the neighbors, on the other hand, labeling the BDS movement as anti-semitic, that's a stretch for sure. Seems more like an effort to silence the opposition by yelling "Racism."

You said hostile nations. Technically, unfortunately, we consider them allies. Now, if you want to say the US should not allow lobbyist, be they from foreign governments or the weapons manufacturers, to sway our policy to the point where we get bogged down choosing sides in regional disputes with no good guys...I'd be with you.

“Anti-Semitism in any form is unacceptable, and it’s shocking to hear a Member of Congress invoke the anti-Semitic trope of ‘Jewish money’”- House Foreign Affairs Chair Eliot Engel on fellow Democrat committee member Rep. Ilhan Omar here is a compilation of their various anti-semetic pronouncement over the years https://twitchy.com/samj-3930/2019/0...ing-must-read/ Do they respond to criticism by playing the race card? You know they do! race grifters gonna grift. |

Aren't race grifters those who accuse others of racism? Isn't that what YOU're doing here?
Take your blue pill. ETA: I also love how completely partisan the author of that article is. Apparently, one person is indicative that the whole party has "a problem" with anti-semitism. Never mind that we've not seen anything anti-semitic so far. |

Twitchy is like Breitbart for people who are in a hurry to get their racism.
