    Shaun King Retweeted Ilhan Omar

    I must confess, that I, like @IlhanMN, had no idea that the use of the word “hypnotize” had any ugly history or meaning in this context.https://twitter.com/IlhanMN/status/1087580647085039616 …

    Ilhan OmarVerified account @IlhanMN
    Hi @bariweiss, You are correct when you say, “Perhaps Ms. Omar is sincerely befuddled and not simply deflecting” In all sincerity, it was after my CNN interview that I heard from Jewish orgs. that my use of the word “Hypnotize” and the ugly sentiment it holds was offensive. pic.twitter.com/IxPScaSzGw

        Yeah, the trope that Jews somehow hold sway or control or hypnotize non-Jews is a definitely a Thing among anti-Semites.

        I believe you. And not everyone can be well-versed in every anti-Semitic trope. I can only speak for me, but ever since Pittsburgh 1) I’m hyperaware of my Jewishness and 2) my anti-Semitism radar is, like, on high alert. When I saw the Congresswoman’s tweet, I was like, “Uhhhh.”

        This is now where your mentions fill up with antisemitism and you do nothing to moderate it, isn't it. I love this part.

        People have been accusing Jews of using sinister means to manipulate others for our own nefarious purposes for centuries. In modern times, this takes the form of accusations of manipulating governments, financial institutions, and media. It never ends well for us.

        Because you don’t stand shoulder to shoulder with Jews. You might only stand with Jews who share your left leaning positions.

        eg "dual loyalty": there's a factual unbiased case that legislators who'd limit domestic free speech to benefit a foreign country act in that country's interests, not USA's It's an unrelated coincidence that bigots of history slandered by saying dual loyalty (catholics too: JFK)
