The Counting Of The Omar (Antisemitic Statements). Is Ilhan Omar Antisemitic?

1. Introduction of the Issue

The Question
The question of this post is whether or not Ilhan Omar is antisemitic. In order to answer the question one needs to select a definition of antisemitism. For purposes of this post I will use the most recent definition of antisemitism which is used by some governments agencies and generally by the United States which is =
Working Definition of Antisemitism

The Working Definition of Antisemitism has the following definition:

“Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”

With the following examples:

"Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion.

Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.
 

Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.
 

Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g. gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust).
 

Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.
 

Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.
 

Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
 

Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
 

Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.
 

Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
 

Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel." 

Note that the above generally contain two significant elements:

1. Assuming a negative conclusion regarding Israel/Jews while denying/minimizing the related discussions/arguments needed to support the conclusion. 

2. Applying standards to Israel/Jews that are not applied to others, especially those most in conflict with Israel/Jews.

Application of Omar's Significant Statements to The Question
As Israel is currently most in conflict with Hamas, this post will only consider significant statements from Omar regarding Israel or Hamas. Omar's statements then will be evaluated specifically based on the examples above and generally based on their extent of double standards. 

2. Discussion

A neutral place to start looking would be Omar's Wikipedia page at the 

Israeli–Palestinian conflict section:

Israeli–Palestinian conflict

1. "she supports the BDS movement". 

Here we have the double standard that she supports penalties unilaterally against Israel without any consideration of penalties against those that Israel is in conflict with or for that matter any other country in the known Universe.

2. A 2012 Tweet "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel,"

This is a direct demonization of Israel ("hypnotized"and "evil") and she has further given it a religious context by using "Allah" for God. She initially claimed a defense of limited demonization, just Israel and not Jews. However, the context she uses it in is limited to Jewish Israel and not all of Israel which includes a significant amount of non-Jews. Plus, her context includes that the supposed victims of Israel are the non Jews in Israel. So she is demonizing a group of Jews, which happen to comprise about half the Jews in the world.

Omar subsequently apologized for the tweet confessing that the demonizing language she used has been common historical antisemitic rhetoric used against Jews in general and could therefore be understood/connected to all Jews and not just Israel. But this is not a defense here as she has left her intent as demonizing Israel.
