Ilhan Omar compares the boycott of Israel to boycott of Nazis and USSR

[Fuzzy Bear]

She is mostly right, but the boycott of Israel is legitimate whereas boycotting the USSR was not.

Here's a living breathing argument as to why Zionism is Necessary.

[Fuzzy Bear]

This thread convinces me that Zionism is more necessary than ever before.

Please, someone, change the headline.

No, it's literally correct. The Nazi comparison is in the resolution she put forward.

She does not "compare them". She just uses Germany as one of several examples of previous boycotts.

It's a de facto comparision. 

The title does not need to change.  That Ilhan Omar is an unrepentant anti-Semite needs to be kept before the American Public until she is no longer in public office.

She introduced a resolution in support of the BDS movement. She used the US boycott against Nazi Germany as an example of another justified boycott. That's a comparison.

Stop gaslighting us. We're not stupid. The cruelty is the point. If Jews are the new Nazis, then antisemitism is anti-fascism.

The fact is the far left doesnt care because their only goal it seems at this point is  shoving socialism down our throats

They haven't stopped gaslighting me about a whole slew of issues.

I'm not gaslighting you. You're not going to be convinced. I just don't want you to mislead people like Badger.

Don't worry about Badger; he can mislead himself.

Is that a malapropism?

As somebody who's very much opposed to the Israeli policies, I can't defend this statement. Israel is not comparable with the Third Reich or the USSR.

I agree. (It's worse.)

How much does it keep you up at night that the Jews have exactly as much power to destroy you now as you do to destroy them? I bet it stings.

He probably hasn't slept in years, lol.

Not all the Jews. Just the white ones in Israel.

Israel is majority Mizrahi/Sephardic, but thanks for exposing yourself as a racist by using the WokeNaz "White Jews" line.

How does acknowledging racism make me a racist?

Edit: Also, South Africa was majority Black during apartheid. Who's in the majority means nothing.

You're literally jumping onto an argument kicked off by a goon claiming that Israel is worse than the Nazis to argue with a Jewish person.

Yeah, that person is a troll, and I'm not defending them. But my point is that Israel has not been doing a good job of protecting its nonwhite Jewish citizens.

It's complicated, because they are a refuge for many of those citizens from countries that want them dead. But they definitely need to do better.

I'll repeat:  Zionism is Necessary.
