If you read one thing about #IlhanOmar controversy make it this powerful and moving piece by @AdyBarkan who wrote it while battling ALS disease. thenation.com/article/ady-ba…
"We do, in fact, have a growing anti-Semitism problem in America. But Omar and Tlaib are not a part of it. They are allies of mine and of Jews across this country who are fighting for peace, racial justice, immigrants’ rights, and the defeat of fascism."
"I do not expect to live to see the liberation of the Palestinian people. But I maintain hope that my toddler son will. If he does, it will be because young American Jews like him do the honest self-reflection taught by our forebears, take pride in our tradition of justice,
and join in solidarity and struggle with fellow Semites like Omar."
