Is Criticizing Israel Antisemitic?
Briefly

The article discusses how conservatives often accuse Democrats, particularly women and minorities like Ilhan Omar, of racism to distract from their acceptance of racism within their own party. This strategy serves to reinforce their political stance by turning the tables on Democrats. The piece highlights how criticism of Israel by Omar can be interpreted as anti-Semitic, depending on the lens through which it is viewed, thus illustrating the complex and often subjective nature of accusations of racism and anti-Semitism in political discourse.
Conservatives often leverage accusations of racism against Democrats, particularly targeting figures like Ilhan Omar, to distract from their own toleration of racism within their ranks.
