"ADL strongly disagrees with the congresswoman's comments. However, they were not anti-Semitic. And it is disturbing to see how some elected leaders have taken those comments out of context and demonized her for political gain. As a result, she has been slandered online and vilified on talk shows in a highly partisan and prejudicial manner, all the while ignoring the more substantive problems with her words."

Please remember she's a Democrat. Her district approves of her. She's a Palestinian-American. I believe some understanding is in order.
