Have the young, radical Democrats even heard of the WW2 Holocaust? (Updated)*

American Thinker is up in arms over this today:

"The Jewish organizational community, almost entirely liberal and Democrat, has not pressured the Democrat leadership in any way near the degree they would have if the victim of hate had been black, Islamic, Hispanic, or LGBT.  Furthermore, there has been no unified call by the 36 Jewish Democrat members of Congress against Omar.  Most liberal Jews seem unconcerned when anti-Semitism comes from the political left, their home base." Rabbi Aryeh Spero

Mike Harris

Rabbi Aryeh Spero:  Democrats cave to Omar's anti-Semitic strategy  "Congresswomen Omar and Tlaib are employing the time-tested, drip-by-drip method used successfully by Islamists in Europe against Jews and Israel.  Week after week, poisonous remarks against Israel or Jews are made by Islamists, with the goal being a continuous seepage of anti-Jewish caricatures into the political discourse and into the minds of a country's population.  Forced apologies are insincere, an expedient — a breather until the next time.  It's death by a thousand cuts to Israel and her supporters." . . . 

The Democrats Cannot Hide Their Anti-Semitism Problem  "The Democrats will not produce a meaningful resolution denouncing anti-Semitism. "The vile hater, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, will not be named. Her position on the powerful Foreign Relations Committee will be as secure as ever. The resolution will dilute anti-Semitism by conveniently placing it among other hatreds.

"Such duplicity is reminiscent of the New York Times burying the Holocaust in the back pages.

"They covered it, just not where you could see it. The Times, like the Roosevelt administration and the British Foreign Office, knew of  the Holocaust since 1942 and chose to ignore it." . . .

The Jewish Press

Thomas Lifson: The Omar Affair is a turning point  "The world's oldest hate finally, officially has found purchase in America with the support of the world's oldest political party, the Democratic Party of the United States.  Yesterday's shameful House resolution was not so much a turning point for American Jewry  as a view of the turning point in the rear view mirror." . . .

Omar emboldened  . . . Omar has gone from attacking Jews directly to attacking non-Jews who defend Jews.

. . . " Sound as if she's going to change her ways?  She doesn't even sound as if she's embarrassed.

"All it shows is that she has a brimming quiver full of Jew-hate and has yet to shoot out all of her arrows.  She won't stop until she makes Jew-hate mainstream.  The quickness of her response shows she has no intention of even pausing.

"Instead of slinking away in shame for a few days, at least, because Congress acted to condemn her anti-Semitism, she's actually treating it as a victory.  After all, she never lost her seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee; she got House speaker Nancy Pelosi to grovel for her in both speeches and in the House." . . . 

Jewish Obstinacy in the Age of Omar . . . "But there is an undeniable anti-Semitic aspect in current-day Democratic politics, as optimized by the many offensive statements issued by freshman Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi, faced on one hand with growing public pressure to condemn what is seen as blatant anti-Semitism and trying to balance the need not to cause a fracture within the Democratic Party on the other hand, is trying to walk a fine line." . . .

*UPDATE:  Some Democrats Searching for Primary Challenger to Ilhan Omar
. . . "While, as Breitbart News is revealing here, there is an ongoing effort to seek out a primary challenger to Omar, it remains to be seen if the effort will be successful. Those involved in doing the searching for a candidate–top Democrats with national profiles and connections to senior leaders throughout the party–would only speak on condition of anonymity for this piece, and expressed their ongoing agony as this week in particular has dragged out to the point where Democrats finally passed a resolution out of the House late Thursday condemning hatred and bigotry." . . .
