Chait, you won\u2019t be surprised to learn, minimizes the anti-Jewish strain infecting factions of the left and <em>wildly<\/em> overstates the antisemitism on the right.<\/p>\n<p>Chait begins by reminding us that Ilhan Omar once said some \u201cugly things,\u201d by which he means \u201cProtocols of Zion\u201d-style conspiracies about Jews\u2019 supernatural ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2018\/11\/11\/heres-the-anti-semitism-the-media-doesnt-want-to-mention\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hypnotize<\/a> the world for \u201cevil.\u201d Even \u201cmore significant,\u201d he goes on, is what happened next: Omar apologized (as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2021\/jun\/14\/marjorie-taylor-greene-holocaust-apology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">did<\/a> Taylor Greene, so what?). He then points out that Democrats \u201cvoted for a House resolution denouncing \u2018the pernicious myth of dual loyalty and foreign allegiance, especially in the context of support for the United States\u2013Israel alliance\u2019 as a form of antisemitism.\u201d I wonder why they had to do that?<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s recall that the first revelations of Omar\u2019s antisemitism brought no real rebuke. Long after everyone knew about Omar\u2019s outlook on Jews, Nancy Pelosi <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rollingstone\/status\/1100712673048756224?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">appeared<\/a> on the cover of Rolling Stone\u2019s \u201cwomen shaping the future\u201d issue. It wasn\u2019t until Omar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/us-news\/2019-03-01\/ty-article\/ilhan-omar-influential-americans-push-for-allegiance-to-foreign-country\/0000017f-f033-df98-a5ff-f3bfea4a0000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">alleged<\/a> that Jewish \u201cpolitical influence in this country\u201d was pushing \u201callegiance to a foreign country,\u201d that there was any left-wing backlash \u2014 and then, almost exclusively from Jewish Democrats. And, yes, Omar\u2019s party voted for a House resolution mentioning <em>Alfred Dreyfus and Leo Frank<\/em>, and denouncing anti-Japanese discrimination during World War II, Islamophobia, and the America First Committee, but not the Minnesotan. Of course Omar voted for a diluted, platitudinous laundry list of censurable hatreds. It meant nothing. Omar was coddled then, as she is coddled now.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s also remember that Omar replaced Keith Ellison, a \u201cformer\u201d acolyte of Louis Farrakhan, who accidentally<a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2018\/02\/13\/keith-ellison-louis-farrakhan-nation-of-islam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> kept going to meetings <\/a>with the antisemitic minister after he was elected to Congress. Actually, the then-deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee, Ellison <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/senior-democrat-keith-ellison-dined-with-iranian-president-louis-farrakhan\/\">attended<\/a> a private dinner with Iranian regime \u201cpresident\u201d Hassan Rouhani, Farrakhan, and Democratic Congressmen Andre Carson and Gregory Meeks. <\/p>\n<p>Then again, the Congressional Black Caucus has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/2018\/08\/congressional-black-caucus-should-cut-ties-with-louis-farrakhan\/\">long relationship <\/a>with the notorious antisemite, inviting him to address their events and attending his. Maxine Waters can be seen on video <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aGTROCe-uZI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">schmoozing<\/a> with the leader of the Nation of Islam, who called Hitler a \u201cvery great man\u201d and compared Jews to \u201ctermites.\u201d Danny Davis, who serves on the powerful Ways and Means Committee, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tabletmag.com\/sections\/news\/articles\/democratic-rep-danny-davis-calls-louis-farrakhan-an-outstanding-human-being-farrakhan-says-jews-are-satanic-and-did-911\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">called him<\/a> an \u201coutstanding human being\u201d in 2018 \u2014 the same year Taylor Greene was writing about Jewish space lasers on comment boards. Only one of these two incidents merits any coverage, for some reason.<\/p>\n<p>More pernicious than any trope or dog whistle or conspiracy about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/local\/dc-politics\/dc-lawmaker-says-recent-snowfall-caused-byrothschilds-controlling-the-climate\/2018\/03\/18\/daeb0eae-2ae0-11e8-911f-ca7f68bff0fc_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rothchild weather machines<\/a> is \u201canti-Zionism.\u201d It is the predominant justification for violence, murder, and hatred against Jews in Europe and the Middle East, on American college campuses, and in the progressive protest movement.
