Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is engaging in her favorite pastime - defaming Jews. Over the weekend, she went on Twitter to make known her views about former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's possible presidential candidacy and philanthropist Leon Cooperman's support for Bloomberg. Omar tweeted, "I wonder why" accompanied by a "hmmmmn" emoji.
Supporters of Omar claim that she was calling out Bloomberg and Cooperman for being billionaires.
But Bloomberg and Cooperman are also both Jewish.
If Omar wanted to take a shot at billionaires then why didn't she criticize Jeff Bezos for urging Bloomberg to run?
Because Bezos isn't Jewish.
Did Omar send out a tweet when billionaire Tom Steyer entered the Democratic presidential race? Nope.
Omar doesn't dislike billionaires. She dislikes Jews whatever their socioeconomic status.
Mind you, Omar sent out the tweet shortly speaking to CAIR, a notoriously anti-Semitic organization.
No doubt Omar supporters will point out her endorsement of Bernie Sanders, who is Jewish. As I argued last month, Omar (along with Rashida Tlaib and AOC) endorsed Bernie to neutralize charges of anti-Semitism. The fact remains that Omar supports BDS whose aim and objective is the end of Israel while opposing sanctions against Turkey calling them part of the "same failed playbook." It is clear Omar does not mind the use of this playbook if it is deployed against Jews. This is how anti-Semites operate.
