This piece by Rep Omar covers various topics. But the portion on Israel-Palestine is a quite conventional and strong statement of the center-left two state approach. It’s one I support and I’d say a great number of American Jews do as well. washingtonpost.com/opinions/ilhan…
2/ it’s a very carefully considered and worded take.
3/ One thing that is clear on a close read is the different audiences addressed. She's careful to state that her view is at least nominally consensus US foreign policy (two states, etc.) and also consensus of the Israeli security establishment.

Disagree w key parts of this. Mostly on the role of Israel in the mix and not portraying opposition to Israeli policies as a form of lo-fi anti-semitism. That’s wrong and self defeating. We Jews should also explicitly decry the hideous and widely accepted ...
2/ Islamophobia these and other Muslim public figures face daily. But there is in this controversy an effort to essentially write off any criticisms tied to anti-semitism as just a ruse and somehow objectively islamophobic. That’s wrong on the merits, destructive for an ...
3/ inclusive society. So there are major points here that I agree with. Here’s my take. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/reducti…

So st Patrick’s day tweet snarking about Irish criminality and alcoholism. Fascinating.
Presumably followed by bomb tossing Muslim and hook nosed Jew with a stack of dollars and gold.

The idea that Democrats are showing fear or a lack of press openness by rejecting Fox is silly. And journalists making this argument are being silly themselves. Hosting a debate isn’t a matter of press access. It’s an institutional collaboration.
2/ While Fox has some good journalists, as an organization it’s organized around and run on the basis of damaging Democrats. We have more evidence of this this week. But we know this. The idea that the party wld have such an organization host and organize an intra-party ...
3/ debate is bizarre. Why not have the Wisconsin GOP run one of the Democrats national debates? It’s more comparable than you think. It would be fine to have say Chris Wallace as a questioner or even moderator for a debate.

JC's statement here was unwise politically because it was guaranteed to muddy the water further: it could be read in very different ways, which is a bad start, especially in this moment where clarity, precision and care was needed. >>
E.g., "Anti-Zionism is not in itself antisemitic". I personally don't know what is "Anti-Zionism in itself": there were historically many meanings to the term "anti-Zionism", and unless you actually spell out what you mean, it's too vague to be useful >>
it's not "antisemitic ... to support another solution [than 2states] to the Israel-Palestine conflict". Correct: much of the Israeli political spectrum rejects a meaningful two-state-solution (although that's not what Corbyn meant obv). >>

‼️STOP THE LIES - "Palestinians must come to the table for talks"
Reminder👇😡👉 Mar 16, 2015
#Netanyahu Says NO Palestinian State While He's In Charge!
He also plans to continue building #WestBank settlements in #Palestine.
#BoycottIsrael #BDS #Occupation #ICC4Israel #Gaza
#Israel-i voters endorse #Netanyahu's policies
March, 2015 Bibi said he wouldn't allow the creation of a Palestinian state.
He explicitly stated that the reason creation of settlements is to block #Palestinians access to #Jerusalem & the establishment of a continuous state
#BDS
What #Palestinians Think Of #Netanyahu's 'No #Palestine' Statement👇
Benjamin Netanyahu made a promise to never allow a Palestinian state if he was elected. That played well with a significant portion of #Israel-is – but what do Palestinians think about his bold statement?

1/21 From the very beginning #Israel planned to usurp #Palestine
#OsloPeace didn't manage to dismantle a single Settlement,to the contrary, #Israel started taking more #Palestinian Land
During the 7 yrs following #Oslo,the Settler Population within the #WestBank increased by 90%
2/21 Following Intl pressure to stop Settlements #Israel began new tactics,under the pretext of natural growth,they expanded & fattened,the existing settlements & connected them to each other & to Israel
Slicing the land blocking any possibility of a contiguous #Palestinian State
3/21 #Israeli Settlements along with their Road Network & Security Zones, occupy about 42% of Palestinian Land.
Roads btw Settlements can only be traveled by Settlers,the basic Human Right of Freedom of Movement within ones Home Country has been taken away from the #Palestinians

#Israel will never recognize #Palestine,illegal segregated settlements in the #WestBank keep growing & #Gaza is a #ConcentrationCamp.
THE 2-STATE SOLUTION FACADE ENABLES #ISRAEL TO CLAIM THEY'RE A DEMOCRACY,allowing settlers in the occupied territories to vote & #Palestinians not
#Netanyahu:"I Deceived the #US to Destroy Oslo Accords"
#Israel never wanted peace,they already occupy #Palestine, only maintain the 2-state solution topic alive so they don't have to let Palestinians vote while claiming to be a Democracy.

Setiap kali timbul isu Israel dan Palestin, mesti anda akan nampak kumpulan pakcik-pakcik Yahudi berjanggut bertocang seperti ini membuat protes terhadap kekejaman Israel malah kewujudan Israel itu sendiri.
Yahudi ini adalah Yahudi Ortodoks yang terdiri daripada kumpulan Haredim dan Hasidim. Mereka adalah Yahudi yang konservatif dan kadang-kadang digelar sebagai Yahudi ortodoks ultra (“Ultra-Orthodox Jews”)--
