      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 …

      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 didn’t know man. Sincerely. I literally had to Google it. The bubbles we live in can isolate us from knowing these things.

          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.”

          It's also because there are parts of the left that don't take antisemitism seriously. They don't realize how insidious & dangerous it can be or how it is tied to other prejudices. The shooter in Pittsburgh hated immigrants & thought Jews were behind them being allowed into the US

          I wonder why Israeli's, including Israeli government officials refer to Black people as "A Cancer?" Yes, a cancer, as in one of the worst diseases known to man. This is there common language for Black people.

          I really find that hard to believe. I think you just aren’t used to being called out for racism. I mean usually you are the one calling everyone else racist. Must suck to to realize you have become the thing that you purport to fight.
