“Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel,”
And surely you won't be attempting to spin this.

If that's the best you can do, yes, you fail. She's talking about the country of Israel and Israeli policies, not going "all Jews bad!". You can disagree with the comment, sure, but spinning it into something else is silly.

And this is why I didn't want to bother lol. Such disingenuous dribble. Do better.

So would you say every Israeli citizen is an evildoer?

Lol there wasn't anything valid. He did what I said he'd do: ignore the fact she invoked an anti-semitic trope in her "criticism" of Israel.
Do better next time you white knight kiddo.

Yeah. Surt posted the quote. She doesnt say "Israeli extremists". She says "the state of Israel", condemning every Israeli citizen. Similar to how Islamic terrorists condemn the entire nation of America and use that condemnation to attack innocent citizens

Here's the quote again: "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel."
She's talking about Israel and the policies of the government, not going "Jews are evil!". Now I don't agree with the comment, but I can also accept that Israel is rather heavy-handed at times with her policies.

Yep and this trope about hypnotism and jews isn't new.
Why not just go "I disagree with this specific policy Israel has because....[insert explanation]" instead of blanket statements like how Israel is hypnotizing the entire world.
Seems she did explain herself:
"“I don’t know how my comments would be offensive to Jewish Americans. My comments precisely are addressing what was happening during the Gaza War and I’m clearly speaking about the way the Israeli regime was conducting itself in that war.” -I Omar
Maybe she should have said "I was joking", then it would be cool. Right.

Yes I'm quite aware she feigned ignorance and just acted like she had no clue at all she was invoking an anti-semitic trope.
And sure if she told it in an obviously joking manner she could say it was a joke. Btw: your butthurt over that makes me smile.
