Only this isn't true.
When Omar mistakenly made comments that could be taken as anti-Semitic, it wasn't bad faith outrage from the other side that made her apologize. She was approached by her own allies, who explained how her words could be received, and she apologized. Done and dusted.
This is a completely different situation and should be read as such. The lengths one must go through to twist "some people did something" into something nefarious is absolutely insane. It's a complete bad faith, Fox News hit job.
Not this again.
Yes, some of those defending Omar are overly hung up on the notion that her attackers were acting in bad faith. I fully acknowledge that a number of my fellow Jews did genuinely, sincerely perceive her comments as antisemitic.
I just don't agree that that distinction matters much, since (a) the accusation was just plain wrong, and (b) the net effect of those accusations, regardless of their conscious intent, was invariably to suppress criticism of a racist ethnostate and reinforce the Islamophobic trope that Muslims irrationally hate Jews.
and her apology was coerced under incredible pressure from her own party. I don't have to accept it and I don't have to take it as proof that there was actually anything wrong with her AIPAC tweets; I think her refusal to apologize the second time shows she recognizes that.
