The Smearing of Ilhan Omar

Are you suspicious of how many Palestinians have been injured or killed by the IDF over the past half-year?
I have no idea how many have died there. I know that no Palestinians die when they don't kidnap and kill Israelis or fire missiles into Israel as a futile terrorist gesture that only invites retribution.

Wow. There are too many to list. Please ignore arguments that all is well in the world when you travel. All is not well in the world, and if we owe anything at all to Congresswoman Omar, it is to thank her for showing the real time attitude of almost the entire Muslim world outside of America.. Sorry for leaving folks, but I'm having a bad day. Take care of yourselves, one and all.
Omar's point is we can't even have a debate on Israel.
I assure you the adults can, Mr. Billo.
After my nap, that is. :D
 
Corporate Democrats like Pelosi are well aware that "dual loyalty" has lost its effectiveness over the past three decades as an "anti-Semitic slur" because over that period support for Israel "has become increasingly associated with conservative evangelicals and the Republican Party."
Untitled-design-3.png

"In the latest round of controversy, Omar said during a town hall, regarding U.S. policy toward Israel, 'I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is okay for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country.'

"This comment was roundly condemned by members of Congress and many others for being anti-Semitic. Rep. Eliot L. Engel (D-N.Y.) called her statement 'a vile anti-Semitic slur' and accused her of questioning 'the loyalty of fellow American citizens.'"

Democrats who have ignored Israel's human rights violations over the past fifty years were quick to call for a resolution of condemnation.

"Now, back to Omar. Here’s the truth: The whole purpose of the Democrats’ resolution is to enforce dual loyalty not among Jews, but among members of Congress, to make sure that criticism of Israel is punished in the most visible way possible.

"This, of course, includes Omar.

"As it happens, this punishment of criticism of Israel is exactly what the freshman congresswoman was complaining about, and has on multiple occasions.

"The fact that no one seems to acknowledge that this is her complaint shows how spectacularly disingenuous Omar’s critics are being."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...t-smearing-ilhan-omar/?utm_term=.c4b9127d502c

"When the most prominent supporters of Israel are people like Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin, 'dual loyalty' loses any meaning as a slur against Jews."

How exactly does one "smear" an Islamist, antisemitic skank ho?

That is amusing.

There is no 'dual loyalty'. Isreal is a friend and ally of the US, and as such, are deserving of support in our government. At least they are not lighting off bombs targeting women and children in innocent marketplaces.
Why do you believe Jews have the right to steal land and water from non-Jews in Palestine?

New York Times lets Israel do its "fact checking"

"According to the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem, which keeps meticulous statistics, 823 Israeli civilians were killed from 29 September 2000 until the end of January this year, along with 433 'Israeli security force personnel.'

"In the same period, nearly 10,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel – the equivalent of dozens of September 11s, to use Stephens’ yardstick – although for him, Palestinian casualties apparently don’t matter at all."
The non-Jews in Palestine didn't have any land to steal. It wasn't theirs.

Do you want to know when the marketplace bombings by Arabs stopped being a thing?

IT was when they built the wall.

Until then, Palestinians and other assorted terror filth routinely blew up children, mothers, and innocents in market places, coffee bazaars, and public transportation.

Do you care why Palestinians refused to turn the other cheek after greedy Jews stole the land, businesses, and bank accounts of 700,000 Palestinians in 1948?

Al-Nakba


"In early 1948, Jewish paramilitary forces began to seize more land in Palestine. By the end of July, more than 400,000 Palestinians had been forced to flee their homes, and their plight as refugees had just begun.

"In May of that year, Swedish diplomat Count Folke Bernadotte had been appointed as the UN Mediator in Palestine. His mission was to seek a peaceful settlement.

"The Count surveyed devastated Palestinian villages and visited refugee camps in both Palestine and Jordan.

"The scale of the humanitarian disaster became apparent, as he witnessed cramp living conditions, long queues for basic food and scarce medical aid.

"Count Bernadotte was no stranger to human disaster; with the Red Cross he had rescued over 30,000 prisoners of war from Nazi concentration camps.

"Now he advocated the Palestinian's right to return to their homes.

"In a report dated 16 September 1948, he wrote:

"'It would be an offence against the principles of elementary justice if these innocent victims were denied the right to return to their homes, while Jewish immigrants flow into Palestine, and, indeed, at least offer the threat of permanent replacement of the Arab refugees who have been rooted in the land for centuries.'

"The Count's first proposal argued for fixed boundaries through negotiation, an economic union between both states, and the return of Palestinian refugees - the proposal was turned down.

How did the Jews of Israel respond?

"On 17 September, the day following his UN report, Count Bernadotte's motorcade was ambushed in Jerusalem. He was shot at point blank range by members of the Jewish Stern gang."

In the same murderous ways they respond today.
The greedy Jews. God, what a bunch of cliches` you people are.
 
they have a RIGHT to a Palestinian State
Why? There has NEVER been a Palestinian State. There are no "Palestinians." They are a creation of the Left. You should know better. But you are young.

There was NEVER an Israel State also, it is a Man-Made State a creation of America and the Commie UN. I already know better, this because I am immune to all brainwashing. The Palestinians have a right to their own State, they are part of that land also historically via their Ancestors. Also I am not Pro or Anti on either side, this is what is needed an even hand approach to this situation and not the embarrassing Israel First Lick Israel Buttocks Fetish and do a smear campaign against ANYONE who does not blind their eyes and be brainwashed into NEVER criticising ANYTHING.

The Palestinians have a right to their own State,

I hear Syria has room.

The Palestinians are not Syrian.

They're all Muslims. They can go live on Muslim land.

Imagine how foolish you'll feel when she moves into the White House?

Republicans and Democrats Say Their Criticism of Ilhan Omar Is About Anti-Semitism. They’re Gaslighting You.


"SO LET ME get this straight: The president of the United States has called neo-Nazis 'very fine people'; retweeted neo-Nazis; told an audience of Jewish-Americans that Israel is 'your country'; and indulged in viciously anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

"While running for office, he tweeted an image of Hillary Clinton inside a Star of David, next to a pile of cash; told an audience of Jewish donors, 'You want to control your politicians, that’s fine'; and put out a campaign ad that attacked three rich and powerful Jewish figures.

"While a private citizen, he insisted only 'short guys that wear yarmulkes' should count his money and kept a book of Adolf Hitler’s speeches on his bedside table.

He has never apologized for any of this. Nor has he been censured by Congress."

Imagine how foolish you'll feel when she moves into the White House?

What President would allow her to move in? Why?

Islam killed 10 Million Jews. Go live in your Transjordan East of The Jordan and leave Israel alone in Israel before God decides its time for The End Times and rains down Hellfire and Brimstone upon a wicked world and those who hate Jews and Christians.

This whole argument is stupid beyond belief. Why can't a person say something about another country. I support Israel but I do not support the government that is now in charge. (may be changing soon as Bibi has been incited) and yet the republicans still say you can't say a word against a horrible government that is now in charge. They have the same problem that we do. Electing a known criminal to the highest office in the land. This tells you just what the republican party is all about. The ones on this board probably don't even know or care to know just how it is Israel that keeps calling for more illegal settlements every time peace talk starts knowing that it will end the talks which is what the criminal Bibi
wants. I also believe that the constitutions says we have the right to say that Israel not behaving as they should if they want our friendship.

Bibi, for all his alleged criminal behavior, is not alone in his contempt of Palestinian statehood; in fact, over the past twenty years, Netanyahu has become a relative centrist in Israeli politics with far more virulent racists on his right.

Ilhan Omar dared to criticize the US Government's support of Israeli actions that are direct violations of international law, and she has spoken loudly about the role pay-to-play US politics plays in shoring up that support.

Neither is anti-Semitic.

It is anti-Semitic to say criticizing US policy toward Israel is the same as attacking the Jewish people which is exactly what many of her critics are doing.

Criticizing Israel isn’t Anti-Semitic, Here’s What Is
 
There is no debate.

There are a 100 years of international law and treaty that defines Israel as a state and its borders.

Then there is 5,000 years of history of Jews living in Israel continuously even during The Babylon Captivity, Assyrian Captivity, and Egyptian Captivity & Roman Empire’s Occupation of Israel.

There were no such thing as Arab Palestinians all through those thousands of years!

They are made up of Syrians, Egyptians and Jordanians. And all those people can move back to Syria, Jordan or Egypt or they can move to The Palestinian homeland, Transjordan which is East of Jordan and leave The West Bank and Gaza.

Omar's point is we can't even have a debate on Israel.
 
First off, I know AOC isn't considered real smart but has she considered the irony of her comment considering her utter lack of any public office whatsoever before landing in the U.S. Congress in 2018 (and I hadn't even considered Omar's birth place as a disqualifying factor for her presidency....her own political sensibilities seemed more than enough for me to know she would never see the inside of the White House except as a visitor).

And more ironic still Ocasio-Cortez demonizing someone like Howard Schultz for being very very rich is the reason he would have to run in a third party if he ever wanted to seriously run for president, thereby siphoning off the votes of moderate democrats (I guess they still exist).
She is absolutely driving the party to the far left and mediocrity... not that I mind.

I guess she can pretend she herself isn't tainted by the stink of money as long as her millionaire sugar daddy, Saikat Chakrabarti, passes her all the money she wants from the shadows.

I don't know for sure if Democrats can win in 2020 by moving left, but it's pretty clear to me how 25 years of "New Democrats" like Clinton and Obama put Trump in the White House.

Perhaps a third-party candidate in 2020 would produce a result similar to 1912's?

1912 United States presidential election - Wikipedia

"The United States presidential election of 1912 was the 32nd quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 5, 1912. Democratic Governor Woodrow Wilsonof New Jersey unseated incumbent Republican President William Howard Taft and defeated former President Theodore Roosevelt, who ran as the Progressive Party('Bull Moose') nominee. Roosevelt remains the only third party presidential candidate in U.S. history to finish better than third in the popular or electoral vote."

The House Democrats’ “Rebuke” of Rep. Ilhan Omar Is a Fraud for Many Reasons, Including Its Wild Distortion of Her Comments

"Then there’s the fact that so many prominent American Jews have themselves explicitly and proudly acknowledged that their political activism in the U.S. is shaped by a devotion to Israel.

"Indeed, the leading billionaire funder of both the Democratic Party and the Clintons, Haim Saban, has previously described himself this way to the New York Times: 'I’m a one-issue guy and my issue is Israel.'"
