Statements that shes made now doing something again, we have to be very firm and say, you cant do this. its wrong to question peoples loyalty because theyre pro-israel. im very pro-israel. im pro-israel and im a proud american because israel is our great ally and we have to support them every way we can. >> you have been very vocal. last month after the first controversial tweet that congresswoman omar made about political donations and the pro-israel lobbying glroup apac you tweeted this. congr...

All my jewish friends were excite you had that the leadership were condemning her comments. enough to it looks like they are walking that back and supporting her an the democratic party is divided and watering down this legislation or this resolution. >> i can only think two things. democratic leadership at the aipac speaker pelosi or own senator chuck schumer are afraid. thats one that there will be some consequences for rendering this womans ideas pa rye a remember, this is not about her color...

>> why dont we say we are not anti- all kinds of things. they show how radical the democrat party has become and some of the leaders of the party, you know this, are good friends with louis farrakhan who said im not an anti-semite. im anti-termite. this is the viewpoint of this party. its completely off the rails and i think, i would say its funny but its not funny. this is a real problem we have in history and today in this party. i think nancy pelosi, if she had a backbone, she would bring the...

Was by the other colleagues. but this is now the third time that she is on public record as making comments that really reference these tropes. and quite frankly i think there are a lot of members who are frustrated with that reality and really want to make a public statement about it. >> all right. kasie hunt, thank you so much. this is pretty extraordinary. >> yeah, and what is interesting is that they were supposed to have the vote. looks like they will have it, but there has been a lot of --...

That really doesnt need to happen and treads on a lot of real sensitivities. we dont need a conversation about the fidelity and loyalty of american jews or aipac. what we really do need is a conversation about palestinian human rights. and i think one of the roles ilhan omar can play, which is crucially important, especially for people who care about -- who oppose all bigotry is to talk about the enormous suffering and human rights abuses that take place for palestinians in the west bank. thats ...

Of a foreign power as ms. omar suggested it was in her talk in washington last week, but almost always sides with the israeli government no matter who is in charge. at the heart of what omar may be trying to say and i dont know because she has not been interviewed, but it may be criticism of its work, but she has now for the second time step into a situation where she invited criticism. is it fair? >> i think it is fair. the fact is if she was being more careful and she explicitly talked about t...

To topple the right-wing government, which i lead. sounds familiar. there is a question, of course, about whether netanyahus hard-right supporters will even care if hes indicted or even found guilty. but this makes obvious the connection between corruption and the worth elements in domestic politics. because when faced with a looming indictment, netanyahu turned to an alliance with the political party, a hard-right political party so despicable, so outwardly racist that groups like aipac and the...

Is being asked to apologize again following new comments regarding americas relationship with israel. during an event yesterday, the minute democrat said, im quoting, i want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is okay for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country, that is according to the "new york times." now the house foreign affairs chairman is demanding an apology. engel released a statement which reads in part, her comments were outrageous and deeply ...

Apologize for. israel an aipac ways off senators and congressmen to do their bidding. >> bill: with that back drop you have a primary battle underway that will have 20 different candidates and the scab on this issue has now been, some would argue, ripped wide open. >> i have to say in america its a much smaller version of what were seeing in the u.k. where you are actually having the liberal party just come apart at the seams over the issue of anti-semitism. that sort of process is just starting...
