You do realize Israel is a state (with its own policies and ambitions) and the Jewish people are people independent of any state. No state is immune from criticism of its policies. I don’t agree with all Omar’s views but I absolutely agree to a more evenhanded approach to the IP situation, despite the fact that any politician who attempts to address it is roundly demonized by you. Now have we derailed this sufficiently?And as usual you expect an instantaneous response. Chill dude. I suspect part of what she ran on was a more critical position towards Israel. Nothing wrong with that. Time to quit kowtowing to Bibi.No. You don’t get to do this Coyote. I am on topic. You said she should do what her constituents voted her to do. I am challenging you on your own statement. Of course you ll just turn and run per usual.
Israel is a body of land. What you mean is critical of Jews the people of Israel and no she never ran on that and actually upset her constituents at least some of them. You do realize that when people criticize Israel it’s not it’s sand or beaches but it’s people aka Jews.

So if someone says “I hate America“ should I as an American believe he means the weather and not it’s people? No, Coyote, when you say you hate Israel you mean it’s people. My people and me. And you brought this up. Only persons who thinks I am derailing this thread is you.
Actually many people hate America and it’s politics but love Americans as a friendly generous people. I can hate Israel’s rightwing nationalist politics and policies but love the ISRAELI people and vibrant culture. Jews are a much broader group spread across the world, nationals of many different countries. No one is above criticism but any politician who is critical of Israeli policy is politically demonized.
If I am derailing anything, it is you who set the path,
Yep, and we have close to 50,000 of them crossing the border "illegally" every month.
