Jewish Leaders Approached Omar About Her Anti-Semitism A Year Ago

By Jason Hopkins -
It was revealed in the wake of Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s most recent controversy that Jewish leaders in Minneapolis had approached her a year ago to discuss her history of making anti-Semetic tropes.
“Over the course of about two hours, we shared with her our concerns for things, including language that has references and meanings beyond just the meanings of words,” said state Sen. Ron Latz, who serves in the Minnesota legislature, in a statement to the Pioneer Press. “Tropes, dog whistles — call them what you will. We explained to her how hurtful, and factually inaccurate, they were.”
Latz was referring to a conversation he had with Omar about a year ago. The state senator invited Omar to his home to speak to a number of leaders of Minneapolis’ Jewish community. The conversation, which lasted around two hours, was meant to address concerns many of them had with Omar’s past comments.
“We wanted to reach out to her,” Latz continued to Pioneer Press. “We were a bit troubled about several things she had said.”
Members of the Jewish community were particularly concerned at the time with a 2012 tweet Omar had made, saying that “Israel had hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.” The conversation, according to Latz, was meant to help Omar better understand longstanding tropes against Jewish people.
However, the conversation did not appear to go well.
“But we were glad she met with us, and we were hopeful she would be more careful about what she tweeted and she said if she got elected. Frankly, I was hopeful she’d grow in office a little, and understand the media platform she has,” Latz stated. “Instead, she keeps repeating her mistakes, if you can call them that.”
Latz recollection of the conversation came after Omar — who opened up a firestorm of criticism for anti-Semitic comments this past week — apologized and claims to have been educated by “Jewish allies and colleagues” regarding hateful language.
The Somali-born Democrat tweeted Sunday night: “It’s all about the Benjamins baby.” The comment suggested that U.S. lawmakers were being paid to support Israel. When asked for clarification on who exactly was paying congressmen, Omar tweeted “AIPAC!”
The tweets received widespread, bipartisan condemnation, including President Donald Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. On Tuesday night, Vice President Mike Pence said such language did not belong on the House Foreign Affairs Committee — a committee which Omar currently serves on.

It seems like the only real issue here was not that Congress woman’s comments but these so-called “Jewish Leaders’.. If those were “American Jews” they should be immediately deported to Israel or arrested as Agents of a foreign government. Lets get a few facts straight here, Judaism is a “Religion” not a “Race” and “Israel” is a “Foreign Government”.. JFK was correct to classify AIPAC as a “Foreign Lobby” and AIPAC actually requires the US Congress to sign a Loyalty Oath to Israel which is Treason. Every government Agency is infiltrated by dual Israeli citizens & Trump is a Zionist sock puppet. The Executive branch is now under the control of the most rabid & Psychopathic, Zionist war criminals in America. Israel has been running our foreign policy for decades. Simply stated, America is under a “Foreign Occupation”.. The only thing that Congress woman may have ever done right was to speak out on the AIPAC influence on our government & its pathetic that she back stepped on the matter. She should have doubled down on it. Furthermore, the people of the world is sick & tired of this “Anti-Semitic’ nonsense as well. Israel is a Government & is occupied by eastern Europeans that converted to Judaism around 800 years ago. These are not Semitic people to begin with & we are tired of these snakes hiding behind a religion to deflect from their evil doings. Anti-Semite my ass.. The only Semites in Israel are the Palestinians so I say Israel is “Anti-Semitic..
