Newsbusters "On Tuesday afternoon, the flailing, moribund Newsweek released a 4,600-plus-word cover story for its latest issue celebrating the anti-Semitism of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) with the title “How Ilhan Omar Is Changing the Conversation About Israel—and Upending the 2020 Campaign.”
"Based on the reaction on Twitter (highlighted by our friends at the Daily Caller, Daily Wire, and FoxNews.com), the syrupy Omar profile was ratio’d into oblivion. Somewhere, Chris Cillizza and Brian Stelter must have been jealous.
Upon further examination of the magazine cover and the Newsweek tweet unveiling it, the article by Jonathan Broder was every bit as idiotic as you would have expected.
"Broder began with AIPAC 2019 and immediately began his lengthy smear by bashing the videos in between speeches as “short propaganda films about daily life in Israel” as if the reality of Israelis having to deal with terrorism caused by Hamas as debatable, fretting that the videos’ “effect was total immersion—sight, sound and speeches—in a pro-Israel experience.”
"Running defense for Omar and those on the American left that show, at minimum, a discomfort with the Jewish people, Broder complained that Republican speakers “dispensed with the usual comity” to instead assert that“anti-Semitism had infected the entire Democratic Party—one of the most toxic charges in American politics.”
