Minneapolis (CNN) Rep. Ilhan Omar's controversial comments about Israel and Jews have driven a wedge through her Democratic Party in Congress. Omar Jamal, Steve Hunegs, Mohamed Ahmed and Avi Olitzky agree on the characterization of language Omar used: When Omar talked about Jews "hypnotizing" the world, it was anti-Semitic. Rabbi Avi Olitzky says he shared the pain his congregants felt to Rep. Omar. The local leaders hope Omar makes up for what they see as a rough start in Congress by what she does next. "And so, we continue to look to Rep. Omar to cancel out the words that she's already shared, with action."
