omar wasn't just critical of aipac. she said that US members of congress support Israel BECAUSE THEY ARE PAID TO DO SO BY AIPAC.
there's a couple miles in between "just taking issue with some aipac policies" and what she flat out said. (good on her for apologizing after correctly getting called out by both sides.)
I really hate being on the same side of an issue as Chyme. That said, it’s pretty clear the initial tweet about money *probably* didn’t reference the measly 3.5 billion or whatever that AIPAC gives, especially when weighed against other groups, and *probably* was in fact a dig at all of us wealthy Jewish people pulling the strings behind the scenes like every other anti-Semitic trope since the beginning of time. That said, whatever, she apologized, and she’s in the party that isn’t supported by literal nazis right now, so meh.
