Interview with award-winning journalist and Senior Editor-in-Chief of JNS, Jonathan Tobin, to discuss his recent column in The Federalist, 'If Ilhan Omar Was A Republican She'd Be Another Marjorie Taylor Greene.'
Jonathan cited the fear that Jewish Democrats in Congress feel in the face of the incessant antisemitic attacks promulgated by Squad members AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley, who hide behind gender and 'women of color' status to insulate themselves against criticism from Party leaders. Their blood-libeling of Israel has led to direct attacks against Jews in the streets of America. Further, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi accepted Ilhan Omar's 'clarification' where she compared the US and Israel to Hamas, ISIS, and other terrorist organizations. Omar stated, 'I was in no way equating terrorist organizations with democratic countries with well-established judicial systems.' But since Omar DOES NOT recognize Israel as either a democracy or a country with a 'well-established judicial system,' her 'apology' or 'clarification' was a ruse to push aback against Pelosi and her Jewish Democrat critics.
