Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly rebuked Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) while speaking at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference in Washington via satellite on Tuesday, exclaiming, From this Benjamin: Its not about the Benjamins!

Omar, who did not attend the conference, had accused the pro-Israeli lobby of paying politicians to support Israel. Her tweet in February, Its all about the Benjamins baby, was seen as an anti-Semitic trope about Jews using money to control governments. She later apologized for what she said.

Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes, the freshman lawmaker said in a statement. My intention is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole.
