This is wrong they are BULLYING her saying horrible things and no respect for the fact that she is pregnant as well!

People can't call out pregnant people? What?

Calling someone out and yelling in their face is wrong. She should have never apologized to them.

I doubt the shooter read Clinton's twitter feed...and that student was out of line to make such a comment to her.

So what if he did? because Omar is Muslim she can't be called out for anything? That is not equality. you can criticize Islam as an ideology and not be a terrorist, you can criticize immigration and not be a terrorist, you can criticize republicans and not be a GOP baseball game terrorist, you can criticize capitalism and not be the NZ terrorist, you can criticize conservatism and not be the NZ terrorist, you can criticize Trump as a leader and his policies and still not be the NZ terrorist.

if the standard for discourse is "any" criticism of anything holds you responsible for what others do- there is no civil discourse and in turn even more violence.

I don’t see how the 2 are related. I condemn all kind of hate. I condemn Omar’s antisemitic comments, but that doesn’t mean I support violence against Muslims or Islamophobia.

Here’s a novel idea, how about people just blame those who were actually involved in committing this massacre?

You an also criticize Israel and not be anti-semitic.

I used to believe that. I’m more doubtful now. I think those are the minority. People who,honestly fell for misinformation provided by those who are antisemitic, but have good intentions.
I really don’t think you can support people who call for the destruction of Israel and say “but don’t get me wrong, I’m not antisemitic!”

Calling for the destruction of Israel and criticizing their policies are NOT the same thing. Nowhere did I say calling for the destruction of Israel is acceptable. Simply criticizing their policies & leaders is NOT the same as calling for the destruction of the entire country.

Exactly!
