Corporate Democrats like Pelosi are well aware that "dual loyalty" has lost its effectiveness over the past three decades as an "anti-Semitic slur" because over that period support for Israel "has become increasingly associated with conservative evangelicals and the Republican Party."
"In the latest round of controversy, Omar said during a town hall, regarding U.S. policy toward Israel, 'I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is okay for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country.'
"This comment was roundly condemned by members of Congress and many others for being anti-Semitic. Rep. Eliot L. Engel (D-N.Y.) called her statement 'a vile anti-Semitic slur' and accused her of questioning 'the loyalty of fellow American citizens.'"
Democrats who have ignored Israel's human rights violations over the past fifty years were quick to call for a resolution of condemnation.
"Now, back to Omar. Here’s the truth: The whole purpose of the Democrats’ resolution is to enforce dual loyalty not among Jews, but among members of Congress, to make sure that criticism of Israel is punished in the most visible way possible.
"This, of course, includes Omar.
"As it happens, this punishment of criticism of Israel is exactly what the freshman congresswoman was complaining about, and has on multiple occasions.
"The fact that no one seems to acknowledge that this is her complaint shows how spectacularly disingenuous Omar’s critics are being."

"When the most prominent supporters of Israel are people like Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin, 'dual loyalty' loses any meaning as a slur against Jews."

I happen to agree that the Representative hasn't been overtly and ugly anti-Jew yet.. But she will... But more importantly to the OP is the fact that at THE SAME TIME Omar is whining about Israel lobbying the US govt, SHE is being lobbied by every "muslim outreach" group in the entire world.. And SOME of those are VERY ugly..
When attacked, she had her office guarded by burly CAIR representatives directing the press... Isn't that just too much hypocrisy even for YOU as partisan zealot????
Probably because of the deluge of death threats against Omar and her family by Trump's base of hardcore white nationalists.

btw, it's hard to imagine anything more ugly that the racist, corrupt state of Israel.
Yeah we need to put Somalia on that list
Nope it doesnt prove anything. I know one of those republican jews and he's a great guy. You guys are really focuses on bean counting and not doing the right thing. IT was specifically for anti-Semitism.....and you know they didn't want to single out a Muslim(who WAS THE cause of the resolution) so they did this bullshit resolution.
Ihlan Omar is a victim of US terrorism.

Omar said nothing that was even remotely anti-Semitic unless you think condemning dual-loyalty qualifies as "hate speech."
Ilhan Omar Is Not Antisemitic
"If it was sexist for Bernie Sanders’s campaign to chide Hillary Clinton for her Goldman Sachs speeches, and if it was borderline racist to want to break up the banks, it stands to reason that Rep. Ilhan Omar’s comments about the pro-Israel lobby would be singled out for being — as the staunchly pro-Israel Rep. Eliot Engel put it — 'deeply offensive,' 'deeply hurtful,' and a 'vile anti-Semitic slur.'
"Except they weren’t antisemitic at all.
"As Washington Post blogger Paul Waldman pointed out in a definitive forensic dismantling of the smear campaign against Omar, the comments for which the Minnesota congresswoman was attacked never referred to Jews in the first place. 'I should not be expected to have allegiance/pledge support to a foreign country in order to serve my country in Congress or serve on [the foreign affairs] committee,' she wrote in one tweet.
"'I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is okay for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country,' she remarked at a town hall meeting. 'I want to ask, why is it OK for me to talk about the influence of the NRA, of fossil-fuel industries, or Big Pharma, and not talk about a powerful lobby that is influencing [Middle East] policy.'"
