The decision by the Democrats to provide cover for Ilhan Omar’s Jew-hatred is a turning point in American politics, perhaps in American history.
In the past, Jew-hatred in America was a social distaste: Jews were barred from certain country clubs, hotels, and law firms. Admission to Ivy League universities was limited by quotas.
The American government was never institutionally anti-Semitic.
When two people share the same goals, they can disagree – even strongly disagree – and still have a productive discussion about how to reach those shared objectives.

Dr. Mordechai Kedar, who knows more about the Arab-Muslim world than most Arab-Muslims, explains the two-and-a half-hour rant delivered by Mahmoud Abbas.
World leaders seemed shocked, just shocked by the sheer looniness and Castro-like length of the Abbas rant. But these overbred, overeducated members of the diplomatic corps have conveniently ignored Abbas’ infamous history: he received his, ahem, Ph.D from Moscow Central with a dissertation denying the Holocaust. During the 60s and 70s he was the bag man for various Islamist terrorist activities, most prominent, the Munich massacre. He’s as corrupt as the rest of the PA, stealing millions from international aid and enriching his clan.
In short, Abbas is an IslamoNazi who should have been put in the ground a long time ago.
