Who Will Stand Up for Ilhan Omar?
False charges of anti-Semitism are being used to silence critics of Israel.
BY Nora Barrows-Friedman
The pressure on U.S. lawmakers by Israel lobby
groups is precisely designed to silence its critics, using the threat of
being labeled with anti-Semitism as a cudgel to break any defection
from the status quo on Israel.
Over the weekend, Democratic Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar
exposed a long-held open secret when she inferred that the financial
influence of AIPAC, a top pro-Israel lobby group, is a significant
player in lawmakers’ key policy decisions that support Israel’s
interests.
