Blog Spot What to do about Democratic Congresswomen Omar and Tlaib

Let them keep talking and hating and insulting and maybe some Jewish leftists will finally ask themselves why they continue to support the Democratic Party and ‘progressive’ causes.

What to do about Congresswomen Omar and Tlaib ?

Like most of my fellow Jews, I am deeply troubled by the inarguably anti-Semitic ravings of Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, but I am not about to sign a petition to censure them or expel them from Congress.  It’s not because I’m a closet progressive or that I believe in keeping a low profile; I simply believe that freedom of speech matters.  We can’t very well argue for the right of conservative speakers to openly present their views on college campuses but then deny to Omar and Tlaib the right to utter whatever inanities and distortions they choose to articulate.

I say let ‘em speak without fear of being confronted by unruly and violent protestors that are the norm for the Ben Shapiros and Jordan Petersons of the world.

Let them reveal the true extent of their ignorance and Jew-hatred for all the world to see.

Let them be appointed to congressional committees so that their quarter-truths and outright fabrications can be rebutted by grown-ups on the committees and in the media.

Let them preen and pontificate in the glow of the media’s spotlight because it takes a bright light to send rats scurrying away.

Let them force Democratic Party leadership to explain away their hateful and deceitful comments at election-time.

Let them keep parroting Al Jazeera’s and CAIR’s talking points so that there’s no ambiguity about their primary allegiances.

Let them continue to demonstrate to the voters who elected them that they lied about regretting their youthful anti-Semitic pronouncements.

Let them keep talking and hating and insulting and maybe some Jewish leftists will finally ask themselves why they continue to support the Democratic Party and ‘progressive’ causes.

Congresswomen Omar and Tlaib do not represent a meaningful danger to the Jewish community; a nuisance, yes, perhaps even a source of some anguish and discomfort.  But they are also providing a useful service in revealing to the American people an unadulterated, unfiltered display of anti-Semitism and how that is the entirely predictable and lamentable end-result of the far left’s ongoing campaign against Israel and the marginalization of Jewish concerns.
