Anti-Defamation League Director: Despite What Pelosi Might Say, Omar’s Comments Are Anti-Semitic

‘The accusation that Jews have a dual loyalty or require people to pledge allegiance to a foreign power is an anti-Semitic charge used against the Jewish people literally for hundreds of years long before there was a state of Israel’

EXCERPT:

GREENBLATT: "It is hard for me to say what is in Representative Omar’s heart, but I have to deal with the reality of what she said again and again and again. And the fact of the matter is, this accusation that Jews have a dual loyalty or require people to pledge allegiance to a foreign power, it is an anti-Semitic charge that has been used against the Jewish people literally for hundreds of years, long before there was a state of Israel. So we are offended by this anti-Semitism that is not only directed to Jewish people, it is an un-American thing to say because accusations of loyalty to a foreign power, that was used against Japanese-Americans in World War II. It was used against Catholics when John F. Kennedy was running for president in 1960. It doesn't deserve a place in the public conversation, period."
