And yes, that will be weaponized by the right against the left if we continue to ignore antisemitism in our ranks. It already has been, in the case of Ilhan Omar.

Hey dude, I respected you a lot and I cannot believe you just threw Ilhan Omar under the bus. This is not what comrades do. You're legitimizing far right smears now.

I feel like I've taken some bad drugs right now. This take from Gordon is fucking ridiculous.

HOT TAKE: Omar was the victim of an Islamophobic smear campaign *and* we need to stop spreading antisemitic conspiracies like "Israel controls US foreign policy." The US has its own shitty agenda that aligns with the Israeli right.

Wait, she said "Israel controls US foreign policy"? I just googled to see what, exactly, was said (I'm looking for specificity) and I'm finding a LOT of right-wing extremist sites and "news sources". In three pages of results I saw nothing but neo-nazis and islamophobes.

Nah, she tweeted "It's all about the Benjamins baby" and then followed up by talking about AIPAC. AIPAC spends $3.5 million/year, which is a lot, but nothing compared to the $3 BILLION+/year that the US gives to Israel in military $$. My point is that the US has its own agenda.pic.twitter.com/LsNHD1u065

I think you're ignoring the economics of scale and also what "the benjamins" means and has meant in popular culture. I don't need to give a pol 3 billion to get them to support spending 3 billion of the budget. I don't even need to give them a million.

But the upshot here is that she didn't say what you're quoting her as saying. You're using a right-wing neo-nazi smear to portray her as holding a position she has not stated.

She claimed that AIPAC was funding Republican support for Israel, when in fact, Republicans have their own creepy Christian Zionist agenda and oil interests in keeping the Middle East unstable.

The US built their own imperial machine. AIPAC just greases the wheels.
