 US Representative Ilhan Omar on Tuesday said some of her fellow Democratic House members — specifically those who have criticized remarks she has made about Israel, some of them Jewish — “haven’t been partners in justice.”

In an interview with CNN, Omar was asked about some of her past comments that were critical of the Jewish state, including a 2012 tweet in which she claimed Israel “hypnotized the world” and another from 2019 implying Jewish money explained American elected officials’ support for Israel. Anchor Jake Tapper asked Omar if she could understand why House Democrats, and particularly Jews, would consider such remarks antisemitic.
