Racism Claims

Ilhan has had a series of racially insensitive claims against Israel. Not all of them are up to MY standards of racism (racially insensitive isn't racist, unless the folks believe the entire race is inferior to another) -- but that's not the standard the left uses. By their standards, she's racist, so they want to do nothing to censure her, because she's a Democrat. A Republican would have been excoriated for a fraction of the following:

1. saying that the only reason Republicans support Israel is their money and AIPAC.
2. claimed pro-Israel lawmakers hold dual loyalty, twice (touching on an old racist trope, and doubling down when called on it)
3. claimed that Israel (Jews) "hypnotized the world" and did "evil things", both also old racist dirty-Jew tropes .

🗒️ NOTE: Again, I'm not sure if these touch my standards for calling her a bigot. More she's insensitive or clueless for these comments. But I believe she's a racist based on a lot more information than this, going back to stereotypes about Muslims and Somali's and their penchant for anti-Jewish conspiracy theories and their selective victimization of other Mulsims, and overlooking of far worse against Jews or others -- and evidence that she fits that pattern. So I'm not sure she should be smacked for this. But since the Democrats would smack a Republican for less, they have to, or they're hypocrites. And they didn't smack her, so they're hypocrites -- and anti-Semites, based on their standards, not mine.
