While Fox News suspends Judge Jeanine for at least two weeks because she dared tell the truth about rabid anti-Semite Ilhan Omar, more groups have come out to denounce Omar’s anti-Semitism. It’s obvious now that Fox News stands by anti-Semites.

Reached via email, Max Samarov, executive director of and strategy at the pro-Israel nonprofit StandWithUs, told Campus Reform that “campaigns of hate against Jews and Israel have been building for many years on far too many campuses” and that “Congresswoman Omar has now made herself part of that problem.”
Samarov told Campus Reform that “it is unfortunately not surprising that anti-Israel activists would defend her bigoted rhetoric.”
“Cases like this,” he concluded, “illustrate why Jewish students and allies must draw red lines and not allow anti-Semitic slurs to become mainstream.”
Aviva Rosenschein, the international campus director of CAMERA, a media watchdog and pro-Israel group, added that this type of rhetoric goes beyond anti-Israel activists.
“What we’ve seen on campus,” she said to Campus Reform, “isn’t only SJP and JVP defending her, but the average student journalist claiming that her positions only point out criticisms of Israel and her supporters, when in fact they bring serious anti-Semitic tropes into the mainstream.”
