*sigh* Again, there is a simple test to differentiate between legitimate criticism of Israel and antisemitism. It’s antisemitism if any of these 3 D's apply: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_test_o…
Delegitimization (Ex: Israel is not a democracy because it is a Jewish state)
Demonization (Ex: Israel “hypnotizes the world" and is "evil")
Double standards (Ex: Israel must be boycotted, but sanctions against Maduro regime are inhumane)
Omar has violated all 3.

Just a few month ago that media declared ANY reference to Soros’ funding habits was antisemitic, but here we have a member of Congress suggesting other politicians are being secretly controlled with money my by a Jewish group (a group btw that donates $0 directly to campaigns).
The “Jewish” part above is especially important because defenders keep trying to portray it as an Israeli group, but Israel does not give any money to AIPAC. The conspiracy is specifically about a group of American Jews.
This is as clear-cut as antisemitism gets. That’s what these people are defending.
Anyways, here is my full thread on Omar’s record:
