There's nothing wrong with that tweet. Although, what you are doing is antisemitic, I'm afraid. She didn't mention Jews or Jewish people. Conflating AIPAC or Israel with Jewish people generally is antisemitism. It's astounding how so many of you who claim she has uttered an antisemitic statement are the ones invoking the trope, not her.
This is just pathetic.
As far as I can tell, no one is conflating Israel or AIPAC with Jewish people generally; people are acknowledging that Jewishness is part of their texture, that both are common avenues for anti-Semitism, and that this should affect how we navigate discussion regarding them. Why is it that when it comes to this subject, bigotry is suddenly so...simplistic? Since when did you have to overtly comment on "x people generally" to evoke harmful tropes, to tap into harmful forces, to reinforce harmful perceptions?
Also, I don't think anyone reasonable is saying she invoked the trope. There was clearly no intentionality. She evoked it.
So what Rep. Omar did was simple. Support for Israel comes from a lot of places, but in a reductionist fashion, she attributed it to money/AIPAC. Such reductionism, in and of itself, is the stuff of stereotypes; in tends to, in a selective fashion, choose a certain subject, erases the complexity and diversity and conflict from that subject, and situates it around a single thing. In this case, that single thing was money. Money is the reason that people support Israel. All of this intersects with anti-Semitic tropes - tropes that should actively be avoided.
It shouldn't have ever blown up the way it did, but that was her mistake. "You're on the right side of history, I hope you continue this fight, and I get that navigating around this is tricky, but that specific framing can be hurtful and damaging" was the extent of what Rep. Omar needed to hear.
What I find amazing is that instead of being sensitive to the trickier dimensions of her commentary, it's the people who think she evoked something troublesome who are anti-Semitic. Like...I'm sorry, but how is this not just a repackaging of "actually you're the racist for focusing on race"?
