I also hesitated to say anything because Muslims who support the right of Palestinian people to their homes and homeland are invariably dubbed anti-Semitic.
ismissing the criticism Omar has received as unjustified is disheartening, but understandable, given that not everyone is aware of the legacy of anti-Zionism’s relationship with anti-Semitism.
Omar shouldn’t have apologized for her remarks on AIPAC. And I’m glad to see her and Tlaib become the first two American politicians refusing to toe the pro-Israel line. Â
