Just because media firefighters (with precious few exceptions) have decided to sit there and pretend that all the anti-Semitic things Ilhan Omar says and does don’t make her an anti-Semite doesn’t mean the rest of us do.

We’d say that Omar’s up to her old tricks again, but the truth is that she never stopped. She recently decided to amplify a hit job on liberal Forward opinion editor Batya Ungar-Sargon, who — gasp! — had the gall to call her and Rashida Tlaib out for sharing an anti-Semitic cartoon. (Ungar-Sargon, it should be noted, has expressed sympathy for Omar and her ideological ilk in the past.) The hit job, naturally, was from Mondoweiss, a far-Left, anti-Israel website that makes no secret of its hostility toward Jews:

A U.S. elected official sharing the work of Mondoweiss. You just hate to see it. Will any Democrats call this out or nah? pic.twitter.com/dGmSmf5WqW — Batya Ungar-Sargon (@bungarsargon) August 20, 2019

It’s Tuesday, which means that @IlhanMN just retweeted an article from another openly antisemitic site. pic.twitter.com/ayfoeb8Xq1 — The Reagan Battalion (@ReaganBattalion) August 20, 2019

.@IlhanMN RTed a tweet linking to hate site Mondoweiss attacking @bungarsargon. Mondoweiss has received $80k+ in funding from far-right anti-Semite and Holocaust denier Ron Unz:https://t.co/PntrSrpxsc Trump isn’t the only politician who incites against journalists pic.twitter.com/oBCTI3ziqR — Nurit Baytch (@NuritBaytch) August 20, 2019

“Hate site” is not an exaggeration, by the way:

Mondoweiss? Rep. Omar may as well be RT'ing a Daily Stormer article. pic.twitter.com/xHVSIq1eKz — Alex VanNess (@thealexvanness) August 20, 2019

The founder, Phillip Weiss has a long history of blaming Jewish power and money. He's blamed “Jewish presence in the Establishment" as cause for the Iraq War. "I began as an American appalled by Iraq; and then I found the three Zionist bears," wrote Weiss. https://t.co/wEsxBtNbcD — Alex VanNess (@thealexvanness) August 20, 2019

They described Nobel laureate and Holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel as a "court Jew."https://t.co/R2SK5Gi8Fy — Alex VanNess (@thealexvanness) August 20, 2019

They're very big on pushing the whole antisemitic "Jews control the economy" trope. https://t.co/HW9vEeahqd pic.twitter.com/AR4OcyQJ4b — Alex VanNess (@thealexvanness) August 20, 2019

"The Clinton scandals teem with Jewish helpers," said Mondoweiss founder Phillip Weiss in the New York Observer back in 1999. https://t.co/sYsJnhSNbi pic.twitter.com/NV0Pjw2WFo — Alex VanNess (@thealexvanness) August 20, 2019

Of course Ilhan Omar’s an admirer of theirs. Of course.

How many people are aware of that? Look for it or are interested in knowing about it? That’s the problem…There is no guarantee knowledge and enlightenment will prevail. — Natacha Safarian (@Saffronian) August 20, 2019

yeah, it's just a coincidence that Ilhan Omar keeps promoting content from antisemitic sites and antisemitic cartoonists, partnering with groups that publish antisemitic content, etc she’s like Corbyn – the unluckiest anti-racist constantly in the same room as anti-Semites — Nurit Baytch (@NuritBaytch) August 20, 2019

What’s it going to take for her apologists to wake up?

In which Ilhan Omar tweets out a hate site’s attack on a Jewish journalist who criticized her. Whipping up antisemitic attacks on the press—I’m sure our brave firefighters will be on this asap. Meanwhile, zero Dems condemned this weekend’s antisemitism. Zero Dems object to it. pic.twitter.com/cqqjrjp7ao — Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) August 20, 2019

Is there any doubt — any whatsoever — that if Steve King were sharing posts from the Daily Stormer or VDare, we wouldn’t have round-the-clock media coverage and endless shaming of every Republican politician who didn’t call for his head on a platter?

Where’s the outrage? Ilhan Omar couldn’t possibly make it any clearer that she’s an anti-Semitic bigot, and yet there’s been almost no outcry from the Left.

The silence is deafening! Where are all those Dems that were screaming foul last week when Israel denied their trip

Where’s Pelosi!?? Where’s the Shomer Schumer!? — Baruch Sandhaus (@BaruchSandhaus) August 20, 2019

What bothers you most:

1. Congresswomen who continue to defend the indefensible?

2. The Party that doesn't call them out for it?

3. The candidates that won't comment because it doesn't fit their Trump-bashing narrative?

4. The media that won't cover the story?

5. All of the above — Joel M. Petlin (@Joelmpetlin) August 20, 2019

This is a dangerous bigot. And the Democratic Party is fine with it. — Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) August 20, 2019
