“And what I am fearful of is that because Rashida and I are Muslim that a lot of our Jewish colleagues, a lot of our constituents, a lot of our allies, go to thinking that everything we say about Israel to be anti-Semitic because we are Muslim,” Omar said. 

“And so to me it is something that becomes designed to end the debate because you get in this space of, yes, right, like I know what intolerance looks like and I’m sensitive when someone says ‘Ilhan the words you use are the semblance of intolerance.’ 

And I’m cautious of that and I feel pained by that BUT it’s almost as if every single time we say something, regardless of what it is we say, that is supposed to be about foreign policy or engagement or advocacy about ending oppression or the freeing of every human life and wanting dignity, we get to be labeled in something and that ends the discussion because we end up defending that and nobody ever gets to have the broader debate about what is happening with Palestine!” Omar said spreading more conspiracy theories.
