Ilhan Omar Emphasizes Bernie Sanders' Jewishness

(JTA) - Rep. Ilhan Omar appeared at a rally for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in her home state of Minnesota, offering a strong endorsement that noted his Jewishness.

An estimated 10,000 supporters attended the Sunday night event for the Vermont senator at the University of Minnesota.

Omar, also a Democrat, endorses the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel and is an outspoken critic of its government. The freshman lawmaker has been criticized for using anti-Semitic tropes in some of her criticism.

Sanders also has been critical of Israel during his campaign and said he would "absolutely" consider cutting U.S. aid to Israel to pressure the its government to change its policy, specifically on settlements.

"People say that Ilhan and I make an odd political couple. But in fact, there is really nothing odd about it at all," Sanders told the rally. "Ilhan and I share a common link as the descendants of families who fled violence and poverty, and who came to this country as immigrants. But that is not just my story or Ilhan's story - that is the story of America."
"And together, we'd like to make it yours !"

#3 Bernie is no more Jewish than I am. He hates Israel because they turned their back on him and socialism. The euphemism is anti-zionist.

#6 The usual term for people like him is “self-hating Jew“, but really he is entirely too fond of himself. He actually is an old fashioned other-hating communist presenting a socialist face to the world, who happened to have Jewish ancestors.
