Janeen Rashmawi of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee and Logan Bayroff of the pro-Israel group J Street worry that Congress is losing sight of the bigger issues surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict amidst the debate over Rep. Ilhan Omar‘s comments on Israel. Both offer support for the March 7 House resolution condemning anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry.
