Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi called on the legislative and executive branches for the condemnation of anti-Semitism in the wake of the recent anti-Semitic attacks including a stabbing over the weekend at a Hanukkah party in New York City. Pelosi's call for a condemnation of anti-Semitism is quite bizarre considering she refused to condemn Rep. Ilhan Omar for her anti-Semitic comments just a few months ago.“Heartbroken and deeply disturbed by the stabbing in Monsey and the many recent anti-Semitic attacks in the NY metro area, especially during this holiday season,” Pelosi said in a tweet over the weekend.
“We must condemn and confront anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry and hate wherever & whenever we see them.”Check out what the Daily Wire reported:The president,
of course, signed an executive order just last week openly condemning anti-Semitism, particularly the anti-Semitism enshrined in the “boycott, divest, and sanction” movement that wants to see the state of Israel punished for perpetuating an “occupation” of what BDS adherents say is Palestinian territory.
The EO defines “Jewish” such that it becomes a protected class under Federal anti-discrimination laws, giving groups greater power to push back on anti-Semitism where it is disguised as “anti-Zionist” rhetoric.

Pelosi's sudden request to condemn anti-Semitism is a complete 180 from her stance back in March when she refused to condemn Rep.
