Fox News
The rabbis accused Rep. Omar of anti-Semitism and said they had warned against putting her on the House Foreign Affairs Committee in 2019.
"Rep. Omar's unfounded assertion that Israel committed ‘unthinkable atrocities’ by defending lives against an openly genocidal terror organization is not merely offensive, it is pernicious – for it is grounded in the blood libel and the calumny that Jews poisoned wells during the Black Death," they wrote. "Without anything resembling a forceful response from the Democratic Party, tolerance of anti-Jewish hatred has proliferated." The rabbis said they had warned against putting Omar on the Foreign Affairs Committee in 2019 and accused her and her allies of "playing identity politics."More Related News
