Article is from the only Israeli paper to sponsor peace conferences
Omar received support Wednesday from Senators Sanders , Warren, and Harris, candidates in the upcoming Democratic primaries.
Sanders:'Anti-Semitism is a hateful and dangerous ideology which must be vigorously opposed in the United States and around the world. We must not, however, equate anti-Semitism with legitimate criticism of the right-wing, Netanyahu government in Israel. Rather, we must develop an even-handed Middle East policy which brings Israelis and Palestinians together for a lasting peace. What is going on in the House targets Congresswoman Omar to stifle debate. That’s wrong.'
Harris: 'We should be having a sound, respectful discussion about policy. You can both support Israel and be loyal to our country. There is a difference between criticism of policy or political leaders, and anti-Semitism.'
