Notoriously anti-Israel, antisemitic left-wing group IfNotNow “[condemns] in the strongest terms the antisemitic acts in recent days”:
We condemn in the strongest terms the antisemitic acts in recent days. These isolated incidents don’t represent the Palestinian rights movement, which is grounded in values of freedom and justice, not hate and bigotry. The safety of Jews & Palestinians must be achieved together.

Forgive us if we’re not moved by their strong condemnation.
You have spent almost a decade accosting Jews who dare mention that antisemitism doesn’t *always* come from the right. You’ve smeared us as reactionary, racist, silencers of free speech. You have no room to speak here. None. You’re in this for the politics, not Jewish safety. https://t.co/XJ0e3LOwWd

Expect to see a lot of desperate antisemites owning themselves in the coming days. Like notoriously anti-Israel, antisemitic Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, for instance.
When she saw this tweet from notoriously anti-Israel, antisemitic Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali calling the recent attacks on Jews dining outdoors at a Los Angeles restaurant “disgusting”:
This is disgusting. https://t.co/fLzC00Hglu
— Wajahat Ali (@WajahatAli) May 20, 2021
She retweeted it along with a disingenuous condemnation of her own:
Horrific and unacceptable. Nobody should face threats and harassment based on their religion or ethnicity.
This has to stop. https://t.co/9QUgNm39UB
— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) May 21, 2021
This would mean a lot more from someone who doesn’t regularly justify — if not outright incite — antisemitism and antisemitic violence by saying and then defending saying things like “Israel has hypnotized the world” and whatnot.

Oh shit look at this fire I started.

Arsonist regrets fire.

Arsonist pretends to regret fire that she helped start and will continue to douse with gasoline.
I hope this is genuine but your rhetoric contributed to this. When will you and @AOC condemn Hamas?
— Andrew Markowitz (@amarkowitzWX) May 21, 2021
Spoiler alert: it’s not genuine, and she and AOC will never condemn Hamas in any honest, meaningful way.

Crocodile tears. You helped create this.

She did. But if she’s serious about wanting the violence to stop, we’re willing to give her a chance to put her money where her mouth is:
So you’ll lead the solidarity march being planned to protest this. Great.
