I've got a couple issues with this:
1.Jewish lives matter.All lives matter.
2. Cultural/ethnic nationalism is the standard in the world, until Jewish nationalism succeeds in building a state. Then nationalism is suddenly a form of "oppression and inequality". Odd, that. If Arab Palestinians don't care so much about nationalism why don't they just become Jordanians and have parts of Judea and Samaria become part of Jordan?
3. It remains a fact that the Jewish people are the targets of more hate crime, all over the world, than any other group. Jews are not safe. And people like Ilhan Omar are not working to make Jews safe in the US, or in Israel or in Europe.She never mentioned Jews.And people like Ilhan Omar are not working to make Jews safe in the US, or in Israel or in Europe.Opinion: The Fight Over Ilhan Omar Is About Something Much Bigger

Another lie. She said that those who support Israel have allegiance to a Foreign Country suggesting that that who do are traitors to this Country. It Should be understood this applies to the majority of Jews. Keep Posting.
