Demonizing Zionists

Omar retweeted an August 18, 2020 tweet that said: “the z*onist argument that jews indigenous to palestine makes no sense lol. there are jews native to yemen, to bulgaria, and even to palestine but to say ALL jews are ‘indigenous’ to palestine is to racialize a religion that’s been multi-ethnic and cultural for a millennia.”

In November 2019, Israel launched Operation Black Belt to stop Palestinian rocket attacks from Gaza into Israel.
