Joshua Keating, Slate: The Democrats Are Heading for a Clash Over Israel
Before winning a historic election Tuesday night that catapulted her to national attention, Minnesota Democrat Ilhan Omar had to fend off an allegation of anti-Semitism based on a 2012 tweet in which she accused Israel of having “hypnotized the world” and accused it of “evil doings.” Omar defended the tweet this year by saying, “Drawing attention to the apartheid Israeli regime is far from hating Jews.”
Omar is one of several candidates who won on Tuesday despite having criticized Israel in terms not usually heard in mainstream U.S. political discourse. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, who along with Omar will be one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress, lost her endorsement from the liberal “pro-Israel, pro-peace” lobbying group J Street in August after it became clear she did not support a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine. (She has also promised to work to cut U.S. military aid to Israel.) And New York’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez decried the killing of Palestinian protesters by Israeli armed forces as a “massacre” in May, then stumbled when pressed to explain her position in a PBS interview, saying she was not an “expert on geopolitics on this issue.”

WNU Editor: What strikes me about Minnesota Democrat Ilhan Omar is that she has not even bothered to delete her tweets calling Israel evil (link here). So will there be a problem between Jewish Democrats and Muslim Democrats? The Democrat leadership is saying no, and they are hopeful that they can smooth-over any friction so that Jewish Americans who voted overwhelmingly Democrat on Tuesday and will continue to do so in the future. But my experience among Canadian Arabs who are immigrants is that the prejudices that they were taught in their home country do not go away when they come here. My prediction ..... there is going to be a problem within the Democrat Party on reconciling these two groups. Because after all ..... no one else has been successful in the past few centuries.
