Glenn Greenwald Defends Rep. Ilhan Omar: Criticizing Israeli Lobby & AIPAC Is Not Anti-Semitic


By SJ Otto
For many years the Israeli lobby has gone uncontested. There have been almost no politicians to defend the rights of the Palestinians, in Israel. In fact Israel has gotten ridiculous support for ridiculous positions. Anyone in Congress, who criticized Israel in any way shape or form, has labeled anti-Semitic. That has now changed, especially with the new Moslem Congress people elected. As more socialists and people of different religions get elected in the future, there are bound to be those who support a boycott of Israel for its treatment of Palestinians. Supporting that position is now being labeled anti-Semitic. It comes down to a position of freedom of speech. Such position is sure to be labeled anti-Semitic by both Democrats and Republicans.
