The website stopantisemitism .org has announced that American congresswoman Ilhan Omar is 2019's Antisemite of the Year. The poll was conducted online, and anyone could vote, so I'm assuming most voters were swayed by the media's assaults on Omar's innocuous statements, which weren't truly antisemitic to anyone besides thin-skinned snowflakes who enjoy being offended on the behalf of other people.
The article then goes on to accuse Omar of having a round-about connection to the Muslim Brotherhood, a slur which carries with it the implication that she's a terrorist - this is much worse than saying 'lobbyists are all about money', which is a statement that only a lobbyist could take offense with.
Is Ilhan Omar the 'Antisemite of the Year'?
An NGO announced that Omar would be awarded the title of biggest antisemite of the year on Monday.
The NGO presented this list of reasons for Omar being named Antisemite of the Year:
1. Accusing American Jewry of possessing dual loyalty.
2. Alleging that Jews buy their influence with money, infamously stating “It’s all about the Benjamins.”
3. Accusing Israel of having hypnotized the world.
4. Supporting the antisemitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel.
5. Submitting a resolution in the House of Representatives comparing boycotting Israel to boycotting the Nazis.
6. Having her antisemitic statements endorsed by infamous neo-Nazi David Duke.
