From when does anti-Semitism come? If you’re Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s communications director, it emanates squarely from conservatives.

Huh?

On Tuesday, Jeremy Slevin posted the following head-scratcher to Twitter:

“Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-win”

Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-wing force Anti-semitism is a right-win https://t.co/IbISMS7lXU — Jeremy Slevin (@jeremyslevin) March 26, 2019

In case you didn’t get that, he was saying anti-Semitism is a right-wing force.

If I may, I’d like to offer a retort:

No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not No it’s not

Omar strategist Jeremy is an odd duck to post accusations of anti-Semitism; Ilhan’s become the gold standard for congressional anti-Israel disposition. As I covered in January, she previously prayed Earth would be released from the beleaguered country’s spell (here):

“Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.”

Additionally, as pointed out by The Daily Wire, she’s also:

Accused her “Jewish colleagues” of “designing” a plan “to end the debate” on Israel by accusing her of being anti-Semitic.

Accused a Jewish congresswoman of wanting her to have dual loyalties to Israel.

Claimed that she does not understand why Jewish Americans would find her anti-Semitic comments to be offensive.

Supported anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) campaigns against Israel (Alex’s note: See here).

Compared Israel to Iran, which is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, and suggested that Israel should not be allowed to exist as a Jewish state.

Promoted the anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that pro-Israel groups were paying American politicians to have dual loyalties to Israel.

Social media couldn’t help but note the absurdity of Jeremy’s tweet.

Here are some top hits, beginning with a reply from Michael Koplow, director of Washington’s Israel Policy Forum:

The claim that anti-Semitism is only a right-wing force in the United States suggests that your Twitter bio, which posits you to be a communications and strategy professional but an amateur everything else, is unintentionally hilarious https://t.co/dihmYQpyPl — (((Michael Koplow))) (@mkoplow) March 27, 2019

You work for Ilhan Omar. You used to work for Keith Ellison. https://t.co/2quWtlfRWO — Arthur Schwartz (@ArthurSchwartz) March 27, 2019

This from Ilhan Omar's comms guy is deeply misguided. I've reported on anti-Semitism for years across continents. It's not a Muslim problem, a Christian problem, a left problem or a right problem. It's a human problem. Anyone telling you otherwise needs to educate themselves. https://t.co/2QO8zdduFk — (((Yair Rosenberg))) (@Yair_Rosenberg) March 27, 2019

Just because you repeat a lie several times doesn’t mean it is suddenly true. It does, however, make you look ridiculous. Keep shielding your Jew-hating boss, though. Great optics. https://t.co/xMuRHJwgue — Elliott Hamilton (@ElliottRHams) March 27, 2019

So how does it feel to be on the same side as both David Duke and Louis Farrakhan? pic.twitter.com/6RC706e63E — (((Emily Schrader))) (@GippersChutzpah) March 27, 2019

Might start here for a lesson on left wing Jew-hate:https://t.co/P1NR6yEaZz — Mark Jacobs (@mr_markjacobs) March 27, 2019

Little Lefties are so used to retreating to their safe spaces and repeating their safe words 1000x that they think it all somehow makes it true. Bruh, BDS movement is a Leftist, anti-Semitic movement. Socialism, including National Socialism, is a leftie, anti-Semitic movement. https://t.co/MJ30UyuKIk — Ned Ryun (@nedryun) March 27, 2019

Repeating a dangerous falsehood doesn't make it true Anti-Semitism is an evil that spans far too many ideologies And infests the office you work in https://t.co/td20cWrM4x — Jim Hanson (@Uncle_Jimbo) March 27, 2019

Some took a less academic approach:

If you’d said it maybe three or four more times, I’d have totally believed you. — Rachael Larimore (@RachaelBL) March 27, 2019

If he had used ALL CAPS I would have believed him. — Bulletproof…so far. (@BulletproofFar) March 27, 2019

Come on now. It needed 4-5 more iterations, ALL CAPS and a few exclamation points!!!! He totally blew it. — 🇺🇸 Fed Up! 🇺🇸 (@MomWhoThinks) March 27, 2019

Last but not least, I give you Dave Rubin — in my opinion, an open-handed guy (and former Democrat) worth checking out:

Ilan Omar’s comms guy is looking for a promotion apparently. (The ignorance here, beyond the NPC style of tweeting, is breathtaking.) https://t.co/KOU6CflKxn — Dave Rubin (@RubinReport) March 27, 2019

Breathtaking, indeed. The Republican Party has a long and consistent track record of being pro-Israel. The party’s current effective leader — who resides in the White House — hasn’t veered from that. Democrats? They’ve taken a severe turn. And, it seems to me, it’s a turn for the worse the worse the worse the worse the worse the worse.
