I am told everyday that I am anti-American if I am not pro-Israel. I find that to be problematic and I am not alone. I just happen to be willing to speak up on it and open myself to attacks.The tweet was part of an exchange with Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., who said lawmakers should be able to debate without"prejudice or bigotry."."I should not be expected to have allegiance/pledge support to a foreign country in order to serve my country in Congress.
Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., are the first Muslim women elected to Congress. During her remarks at last week's town hall, Omar said she was concerned that her Jewish colleagues interpret "everything we say about Israel" as"anti-Semitic because we are Muslim."Democratic House leaders denounced fellow Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar's tweet, saying, "Anti-Semitism must be called out, confronted and condemned whenever it is encountered, without exception.
"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. My intention is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole," she said in a statement on Feb. 11. "That is why I unequivocally apologize," she said, although she added that she was not apologizing for"the problematic role of lobbyists in our politics, whether it be AIPAC, the NRA, or the fossil fuel industry."
There is nothing wrong with IlhanMN words. Jewish Money does dictate our politics. Read the Bible for understanding. If Jews do not accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, they will perish the same as nonbelievers.AOC SpeakerPelosi Resolution shld include anti Muslim 2
She is a radical with a foul mouth and a racist agenda.
GET RID OF HER . WE DON’T WANT OR NEED HER BRAND OF HATE . OR HER ANTI ISREAL TALK .
Nothing anti-Semitic about it. It's a ruse on the pro-Israel lobby to shut everybody up while Israel continues its scorched earth policy in Palestine.
She has shown in the past 'anti-Semitism' in many statements and her arguments as a muslim, has been against Israel. Elect a muslim and you get this, as is obvious. It seems like a bid to open the palestinian's argument for debate in the US against Isarel, among our leaders.
I wonder how long it’s going to be before this woman doesn’t show up to work....
How is it anti-Semitic to oppose the actions of Israel's government? That's a case of their government behaving badly with no bearing on their religion.
Another person trying to push another country to be against Israel.
The jihadist needed to be expelled!
No one is innocent. Now what?
She thinks she represents Palestine
She’s trying to open the doors on a conversation that no one wants to have out in the open. There is a game to be played here, I hope she learns how to play it.
The reasons you were elected was?
Gosh I hope pro-Israel lobby doesn’t take this wrong-no telling where it might go?
VIOLENT, RADICAL, CRIMINAL MUSLIM NEEDS TO BE BANISHED FROM AMERICA,,,,,,,
Unbelievable that a girl with no political experience at all, push Democrats to the edge of abyss between US Congress and americans.
Yeah...i hope she gets completely removed from her job!
I believe she is right. We should not have to pledge allegiance to any other country, doesn’t matter who!
The Dinosaur Democrats are in for a rude awakening. The base will no longer abide their gross politically opportunistic attempts to cynically exploit identity politics to divide us while they promote apartheid & corrupt, ultra right foreign regimes. IStandWithIlhan
That she was even elected shows the big problem with our immigration policies.
She's right. She should be commended, not condemned, for telling the truth.
She is becoming an individual that stands up for human suffering, human rights... an individual that is making history. ....Where's George Clooney's wife......where is she on this ? Doesn't she represent the same ideas? So...why is she ...backing her...
Very true! Everyone support her in this....
If we are to have an open and transparent discussion concerning foreign countries influence, via both legal and illegal lobbying and contributions, why shouldn't Israel be included in the discussion? After all, it was Israel who manipulated Trump into abandoning the Iran deal.
Spot on
Love your attire y go girl
This true, we r pro Israel, so stop crying , ok I tolerate y bc I respect my beloved 1sr amendt but honestly ss opposed to what support mullahs in Iran or the. Butcher Muslim king of Saudi Arabia
Is it her with the brother/husband? Or the other ISIS sympathizer?
They need to get her the hell out of there.
This clearly shows her loyalty lies with Palestine and against Israel. Could she be a Hamas spy who has infiltrated our Congress? Hmmm.
Throw her out
Why would we choose to support a country over an by terrorist and Islamic supremacist over a country that’s generally trying to exist? You democunts took the bait.
I'm got my views on Palestine from the actions of the PLO. Same as I got my views of Islam from the actions of all the other terrorist organizations.
proflevin That's exactly what's happening.
to say that you are antisionist, or anti Israel, is just another way to say you want all jews dead
I agree with her, too. Israel is a strong ally, but we can still question their policies. We can show support for the Palestinian people and the Israeli people while criticizing either governing body if we disagree with something. Questioning Israeli policy is not anti-Semitic.
She stole that sentence from the french philosopher Pascal Bruckner who said that: ' Islamophobia is an invention to silence the debate!'
Calling someone anti semitism or using anti semitism as an excuse to stop a rally needs to be a hate crime.
It raises an interesting question. Can you be anti-Israel without being anti-Semitic?
She just can't stop. Her anti-semitism cones out with every breath.
SHE IS MEAN and HATES this COUNTRY....
Plus don’t forget Israel attacked one of our ships in 1967, the USS Liberty.
Look her faces and said a lot. Her face says it all and her blood is hate. She is from a totally different from our American culture .
What Americans. NOT....In their right Mind would vote this PSYCHO into Office!!!
Now find that brother she married so we can charge her with immigration fraud and get rid of her all together
She’s right on money with this....
She’s right
Big difference between 'showing allegiance' and 'being a good ally'. But, looking at the comments on this post, it appears this is a majority opinion among democrats. Which begs the question --- why do most Jewish Americans vote for dems?
Arabs in Israel enjoy far more freedom and rights than in virtually all, if not all, Arab countries. This is one of the most dishonest debates on the planet, and that's really saying something. Israel is a shining beacon in the Middle East. [Follows appreciated!]
When lies and manipulations become so mainstream that when people hear a simple truth they struggle to comprehend it.
which speaks to what her allegiance is: Palestine
Israel is our shame for our own anti-Semitic past. We took land from a country and people who were not anti-Semitic to absolve ourselves of the crime of rejecting millions of Jewish refuges that fled Nazi Germany. They should have been given asylum here but Palestine pays for it.
is she right?
Agree
... wake up to Jewish people!
She’s absolutely correct - it’s about closing down free speech and the right to debate and it’s anti American and against out 1st Amendment right to push that allegiance to end any type of debate
She's correct though.
She would be 100% right lol
HOW IS SHE WRONG?
SHE'S CORRECT!
Fuck this lady!
She should know only the GOP base can say anything negative about Jews and get it retweeted by Trump with no trouble.
