House Democrats will issue a rare condemnation of one of their own for anti-Semitism — without naming the offender, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.

The Washington Examiner, which posted the four-page resolution a day ahead of an expected vote, reported the rebuke, sponsored by Rep. Ted Deutch, D-Fla., "rejects anti-Semitism as hateful expressions of intolerance that are contradictory to the values that define the people of the United States."

The measure also lays out a history of anti-Semitic attacks against Jews and addresses "the myth of dual loyalty, including allegations that Jews should be suspected of being disloyal neighbors or citizens."

It concluded by saying the House "acknowledges the dangerous consequences of perpetuating anti-Semitic stereotypes," and also "rejects anti-Semitism as hateful expressions of intolerance that are contradictory to the values that define the people of the United States."

In a recent post, Omar raised the idea Jewish members of Congress should not be loyal to Israel over America.

"[A]ccusing Jews of dual loyalty because they support Israel, whether out of a religious connection, a commitment to Jewish self-determination after millennia of persecution, or an appreciation for shared values and interests, suggests that Jews cannot be patriotic Americans and trusted neighbors, when Jews have served our Nation since its founding, whether in public life or military service," the resolution says.

"Jewish people are subject to numerous other dangerous anti-Semitic myths as well, including that Jews control the banks, media, and the United States Government or seek world domination and that Jews are obsessed with money," it adds.

Omar has been sharply criticized by other Democrats and Jewish organizations for her comments and tweets.
