	Really hope the Democratic Leadership step up right now - in solidarity with @IlhanMN @RashidaTlaib @AOC - progressive superstars who have been under relentless attack from the right-wing. Silence is no longer an option. cc @justicedems @_waleedshahid @alexandrasiera twitter.com/RashidaTlaib/s…

	Replying to @elivalley I mean it sounds like we’re kind of on the same page then ... you’re allowing that at least one of the things she said was problematic, but that the hate campaign being directed against her in bad faith is odious.

	Replying to @vox__humana @elivalley I didn’t say I was more offended by her comments than Israel’s crimes against humanity.

	Replying to @elivalley So I can follow your argument — you’re saying she was right to apologize the first time, but not the second?

	Replying to @minaisen @elivalley So your argument is that she’s weak and easily cowed by sinister forces?

	Replying to @BoobyJargon @HardyQuist and 2 others Ask the person who said, “Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes.”

	Replying to @minaisen @elivalley Well apparently the congresswoman disagrees with you.

	Replying to @MairavZ @elivalley If by “doing this,” you mean Eli using the occasion of the president’s hate campaign to needlessly take a swing at Jews who were legitimately offended by her comments, then yes, that appears to have happened.

	Replying to @EricKleefeld @elivalley Yeah, hearing anti-Semites on the right complain about far milder anti-Semitism on the left is annoying in the extreme. I’m not even sure they know what they’re accusing people of.

	Replying to @elivalley She apologized for the second comment as well. (Which was great!) Then she made the third comment. That’s the “kept” part.

	Replying to @BoobyJargon @HardyQuist and 2 others Then, while under heightened scrutiny for those things, she stated baldly that support for Israel was “allegiance to a region country.” A lot of Jews, including me, read that as the dual loyalty canard. Ironically, that same canard is being used against her! Life is strange.

	Replying to @BoobyJargon @HardyQuist and 2 others Sure, she said that Israel had “hypnotized” the world. She apologized for that. Then she implied that lobbying money was the primary driver behind US support for Israel. That was more borderline, but she apologized for it anyway.

	The President is actively and willfully endangering the life of a member of Congress.

	Replying to @HardyQuist @elivalley @ashleyfeinberg You think I need someone else to tell me when something is anti-Semitic?

	Replying to @elivalley You’re right, being Muslim and black, and a Democrat, created a disproportionate response. She didn’t deserve a fraction of the opprobrium she got. But as you note, by her own apology, she admitted that she’d spoken offensively. Why erase that?

	Replying to @HardyQuist @elivalley @ashleyfeinberg She did, and the fact that Trump is a bigger and far more dangerous anti-Semite than she is, and should be occupying more of our attention on the issue, doesn’t change that. Logic, how does it work.
