If you’re looking for the biggest, baddest, and dumbest ‘BUT TRUMP’ take maybe EVER just look over this hot mess from Max Berger making his case for why Jews should defend Ilhan Omar even though she has said really gross and anti-Semitic things.
Aces, right?
Jews need to understand that Muslims now play the role we have played throughout our history: they are blamed for the failures of the people in power.
In this time of rising fascism, American Jews must defend @IlhanMN – and our Muslim brothers and sisters – with all our might. https://t.co/uxpoCEbwBr

Huh?
Wait, it gets better.
Worse?
The right (including some Jews!) want you to think that American Jews and Muslims are enemies. But, we're both threatened by Trump promoting lies and conspiracy theories that incite his white nationalist fans to commit violence against us.
If you side with him, you're helping.

If you side with Trump you’re inciting white nationalists to commit violence against Jews and Muslims?
Did we read that right?!
Right wing Jews like @benshapiro are actively aiding the rise of white nationalism in the US by supporting Trump. Intentionally or not, they're increasing the likelihood of violence against American Jews and Muslims.
Jews and Muslims should stand together against their hate.

O.

Maybe Max missed it but there are few Jews who get harassed as much as Ben Shapiro does by white nationalists.
What a maroon.
American Jews are still absolutely threatened by antisemitism. But, the real threat to American Jews doesn't come from awkward phrasing by the left, but the bullets and bombs of the right.
The way to defend ourselves is not by inciting more hatred, but with more solidarity.
— Max Berger (@maxberger) April 14, 2019
WOW.
Told you this was bad.
In the US, it's acceptable to hate Muslims like it has been acceptable to hate Jews throughout much of our history.
US Islamophobia and antisemitism are not the same. But, the solution to both is solidarity against the fascists who want to divide us, not to fight each other.

This editor may have just rolled her eye so far back in her head they’ll never be the same.
What a crock of crap this guy spewed and if we don’t laugh we’ll never stop throwing up.
This guy has lost his mind.

My criticism of Omar has nothing to do with her race, religion, or gender. Rather, I take offense at her jibes at Israel and Jews. And my antipathy for her does not mean automatically mean I am a Trump supporter. Stop making excuses for her.

Stop making excuses for her.
Sounds simple enough.
