    The House on Thursday passed a resolution condemning anti-Semitism and other bigotry.

    Democrats wrestled for days about whether or how to punish Omar, a freshman from Minnesota who’s one of two Muslim women in Congress. They argued over whether Omar should be singled out, what other types of bias should be decried in the text and whether the party would tolerate dissenting views on Israel.

    Before leaving to survey tornado damage in Alabama, Trump told reporters Friday the Democrats have become an “anti-Israel” and “anti-Jewish” party.

    Omar has praised the vote as condemning “anti-Muslim bigotry.”

    Some Democrats complain Omar’s comments on Israel ignited this debate but Trump’s racially charged rhetoric has led to no similar congressional action.

    I hope that the Democratic majority House resolution will open the eyes of Jews around the USA that the Democrats are not friends of Jews or of Israel. It’s the Republicans that stand up for Jews by condemning antisemitism are vote to support the defense of Israel, the only democracy in the middle east.
