Pointing out that AIPAC's entire purpose is to influence American legislation and lobby for what they see as Israeli interests... Isn't antisemitic. It's not even debatable. It's what they openly claim to be their reason for existing.

Criticizing Israeli policy, contrasting it with professed Western values, or highlighting it's effects on residents of Palestine is not antisemitic. The modern state of Israel is not synonymous with Judaism or all Jewish people.

Is Ilhan Omar antisemitic? I dunno... But nearly all of her quotes used to prove the charge certainly don't seem to be.

I'm not denying Ilhan is antisemitic. I dunno. I was just reading some articles on what she said that was used as justification for removing her, and...

Just about everything was criticizing Israeli, which isn't the same as criticizing Judaism or Jewish people. Hell... My family is Jewish, and they criticizes Israel all the time.

Didn't Pelosi say that the creation of Israel was the greatest achievement of the 20th Century or something? I mean... Pelosi isn't really impartial on the thing.
