Again, her comment about loyalty/allegiance was not directed at American Jews, but specifically at American politicians who demand absolute fealty to Bibi's Israel and its policies (mostly Christian conservatives). As for the "Benjamins," her comment was directed at AIPAC, a powerful, well-funded PAC whose mission has become solely the support of the Bibi/Likud faction (and silent about Bibi's political opposition (currently leading in the polls there)).

You sure are quick to squeal about anti-Semitism without taking the time to understand what it is that people object to when it comes to Israel's policies and actions (or to realize that their comments are indeed about the latter and not the former).

Meanwhile, Trump has accused you of being anti-Semitic ("Democrats hate Jewish people.")

Then there's the lone Israeli porn movie. It's 10 minutes long...one minute of raw sex and nine minutes of guilt.

And you don't take the time to realize that, as Tom Lehrer once observed, "...everybody hates the Jews." Lehrer was right...it's pretty much true. And I'm far from the only one who believes it. Reckon why I'm such a hard ass about this anyway? I'm only a Jew by adoption. I'm more Irish than the blonde is...and she was born there.

Bullshit. Some people do and some people dislike Israel's policies. It's two different things. Similarly, one can dislike the Saudi regime's policies without being Islamophobic (much of the world), or be Islamophobic but still acquiesce to Saudi's policies (Trump).

I heard 5 minutes of sex and 55 minutes of guilt.... Same ratio about.

Ever hear the one about the Christian, the Moslem, and Jew all sentenced to be guillotined in the French Revolution? Short version: the things jams both times, an inch above the neck, when they go to do the Christian and the Moslem, so they let them both go.

They get the Jew ready and he looks up and says, "You know, I think I see your problem...."

Or the Catholic priest, the protestant minister, and the Rabbi debating when life begins.

Priest: Life begins at the moment of conception!

Minister: Life begins at the end of the first trimester.

Rabbi (with powerful Yiddish accent): Both of you are nuts. Everybody knows, life begins when the kids go away to college!

The 90% approval rating of the IDF is similar confirmation. Are Israeli Jews paranoid. You bet they are. And it's a healthy paranoia, based in their experience. In the same way as the healthy paranoia of American blacks when it comes to a country half full of white Christian confederates that put Trump in the Whitehouse. And who have filled the Congress half full of bigot Republican politicians, Trump criminal enterprise co-conspirators.

Bibi is a convenient tangential distraction. The issue is Ilhan Omar's repeated use of anti-Semitic tropes, her references to disloyalty, and the repeated references to Benjamins (read Jewish money), influence (read Jewish power), and intelligence (read Jewish "wileyness").

Not to mention her attack on Barack Obama. Apparently his approval of drone attacks and Seal Team incursions to take out terrorists is a problem. It appears done attacks on terrorists are murder regardless of the behavior of the target.
If I remember correctly there were some rather mainstream politicians in America that were also critical of Obama's use of drones to kill terrorists, a former GOP congressman one of them.

That right-winged hit piece brought the LULZ. Thanks for that I needed a chuckle.
