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

[Fuzzy Bear]

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.

[Badger]

Oh ffs. At least the boycott of apartheid South Africa makes some level of sense as a historical precedent since Israel was among South Africa’s closest allies in that era.

This is needlessly inflammatory, reckless, and pretty disgusting, frankly. And she’s not helping her case that she isn’t an anti-Semite. Ugh.

In a nutshell, this.

That said, she doesn't remotely qualify as an excuse for the Republican party's extreme history of racism and anti-Semitism in the last several years. Can we all recall Trump's address to the Republican Jewish Federation where he talked about how he knew that everyone there in the audience loved to get a good deal? Can we just imagine what the blue avatars reaction would be?

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.

Glad there's something we can agree on.

[Horus]

Excessive hyperbole, but I like how she's not scared to stand up to Israel. Many on the right love going after Jewish Americans with all kinds of nasty insults (two synagogue shootings as well) but Israel is untouchable. Ilhan is the opposite.

[Insomnian]

Oh boy, what 2019 really needs is a left-wing civil war where Chapo-types turn on Ilhan Omar for daring to compare the evil Israel and the glorious Soviet Union.

[HisGrace]

Citing boycotts of the USSR and Nazi Germany to justify a boycott of Israel only makes sense if you think those countries are all comparable to each other, which they aren't. Chalk it up as another stupid comment from Omar.

This is exactly the kind of thing conservatives say to defend Trump.

Given that Omar did not do that, she isn't the one who made a stupid comment here.

What a bizarre attempt at sloganeering.
