They are cosmopolitans, globalists, not loyal to their country or fellow citizens.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While Omar has said multiple times that she does not view her remarks as anti-Semitic, the lawmaker\u2019s views are colored by this attitude, according to Lipstadt.<\/p>\n<p>Omar &#8220;may think she is only criticizing Israel and its policies but one cannot ignore the fact that she is relying on traditional anti-Semitic tropes to do so,&#8221; she said. &#8220;What it suggests to me is that, at best, these people exist in a place where anti-Semitism is out in the ethosphere; they hear it, breath it in, and don\u2019t even recognize it as anti-Semitism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lipstadt will need to be confirmed by the Senate before assuming her role. She is expected to garner broad bipartisan support given her status as one of the leading authorities on anti-Semitism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden\u2019s pick for U.S. envoy to combat anti-Semitism once called Rep.
