A few months back she made tweets against the mythical “pro-Israel” lobby. You must remember her infamous “All about the Benjamins, baby” comment. She was even forced to apologize to save some face, a pretty flimsy “apology”.
She has blasted Israel for referring itself as a “Jewish state”.
She pre-justified the future remarks she knew she would say by saying “What I’m fearful of — because Rashida [Tlaib] and I are Muslim — that a lot of our Jewish colleagues, a lot of our constituents, a lot of our allies, go to thinking that everything we say about Israel to be anti-Semitic because we are Muslim.” It is well known that anti-semitics protect themselves from backlash by arguing they’re only “criticizing Israel,”. It’s the new antisemitism because it’s safe and, even scarier, cheered for.
Before taking office she tweeted that she prayed Allah will make people see the “evils of Israel” since Israel “hypnotized the world”.
She voted for legislation to support the BDS movement, as I said, a known anti-Semitic movement.

But I’m still wondering what Omar said that caused everyone to call her “ anti Semitic “?

Here are just a few examples of how America’s military has benefited from investing in Israel:

And, as I told a PP, add the drone to that list.
