This shows the extent to which open anti-Semitism has become mainstream and normalized on the Left today. In fact, it is likely that Omar’s paranoid hatred of Israel, rooted in Islamic anti-Semitism, made her a good candidate for this position in the eyes of Democrat leaders, who have been following a consistent anti-Israel line for years.
“House Democrats reward an anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist with a place on the Foreign Affairs Committee,” by Tiana Lowe, Washington Examiner, January 17, 2019:
Lost in the incomprehensible word salad of the freewheeling, Trumpian, and mathematically illiterate performance of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., on CNN today was the more ominous fact that the Democratic Party rewarded her, an anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist, with a place on the prestigious House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Omar, who replaced accused domestic abuser Keith Ellison in Congress, is no run-of-the-mill Democrat. She openly supports the boycott, divest, and sanction movement against Israel. She cozied up to Farrakhan fan Linda Sarsour on the day she entered Congress. But most damning is a tweet from 2012, in which she invokes a classic anti-Semitic trope.
“Israel has hypnotized the world,” wrote Omar in the now hotly contested tweet. “May Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. #Gaza #Palestine #Israel.”
Omar has conducted two interviews in the last 24 hours, in which she was given opportunities to explain the tweet. To Christiane Amanpour, Omar called the language “unfortunate,” claiming that they were “the only words” she could think of to describe Israel’s 2012 airstrike offensive in Gaza. To Poppy Harlow and Jim Sciutto, she said, “I don’t know how my comments could be offensive to Jewish-Americans.”
I could think of a few ways. For one thing, painting Israel as a nefarious Jewish cabal spreading its tentacles around the globe doesn’t do much to curb the idea that emphatic critics of Israel simply opposed the government and not the people. But more significantly, Omar had seven years to think of an answer, an explanation, or even straight-up lie about a political evolution in order to save face. The best she could come up with was little more than a shrug.
Even worse is that Democrats aren’t just refusing to condemn her for this — they are also giving her a prestigious committee seat that could have gone to someone who hates Jews a lot less….

(…House Democrats reward anti-Semitic Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar with place on Foreign Affairs Committee…)
Americans doing what they love to do: Empower Islamic Jihadists World over!
Whether domestically or internationally, Satanic liberal, Anti-Christ America is always on the side of islamic jihadists! America is an eternal ally of the global Islamic jihadist movements! For instance, Two decades ago, America & its Nato vassals backed Balkan jihadists, bombed Christian Serbs and established two islamic states (Bosnia & Kosovo) in Eastern Europe! As a result of that, Hundreds of Serbian Orthodox Churches and Monasteries were destroyed by KLA jihadists supported by America and Nato in the region known as ‘Metohia’ alone and a quarter of a million Serb Christians were evicted from their homes in that same region!

John W. says
What I find bizarre of course is that if an anti semitic act was perpetrated by someone considered to be right wing we would hear democrats howling about how evil it is. but anyone in the islamic world can do or say anything against Jews and they get a pass.
Jay says
John – exactly. Great post. Thx. The double standard is astonishing and dangerous to say the least!!
??????????
Georg says
The reason, John W., is that it is not antisemitism they are concerned with. The prerogative of many leftists, as with Islamists, is the the destruction of normative Western Civilization ; and thus the marriage of leftism and Islam/Islamism. The concern is very often not what was said/done, but who said/did something. If the action is performed by their enemy–it is bad. If the action is performed by the enemy of their enemy–it is good; understanding this helps to clarify otherwise confusing behavior by the left, especially with regard to their embrace of Islam and its self-evidently retrograde, illiberal bent.

The Democrats of old in the south in the 1900s-1940s were very anti – Semitic, anti-Catholic, and anti-black they were in bed with the KKK. Now to get votes and favor of the Moslem voting block that is growing in rust belt cites in the Midwest they are currying favor with Jihadist promoting, anti-Semitic , anti-Christian ,anti-western values ,Jihadist promoters .If someone is of “brown skin color ” it is impossible for them to be racist myth that all good libtards believe. If someone is not white we give them a free pass if they say something that is racist, or stereotypical of other groups, or just plain stupid. They because of their skin color non-white do not have to be held to any standards on what they say it is” just words ” Rep. IIhan Oman said ,”she feels “she has no reason to explain it .How can “words” have any real meaning ,libtards do not base their beliefs on words, facts , logic ,they base their beliefs on “feelings”!

I live in Minnesota. Which is to say, that I live in an insane asylum of sorts. Between Omar, Ellison, and Waltz and company, I am now convinced that this state does not have a prayer of survival now.
Now, Washington DC and the nation will get a taste of what we have been putting up with FOR YEARS now..
And, have witnessed this accused Polygamist – Bigamist – Polyandry mistress -Welfare cheat – Immigration Fraudster (married to her brother) – Perjurer – campaign finance cheat – Jew and Christian hater – OMAR, also FOR YEARS now.. ..No investigation however. That would not be “Minnesota Nice”..
I believe I can make a great case for questioning her mental fitness, as she actually proposed “life insurance death benefits for terrorists” when she was scamming Minnesotans in OUR Minnesota House of Representatives..
In as charitable a manner as I am capable of these days, please let me say that this is a perfect example of “POLITICAL TRASH”, and she is always engaging in what I now refer to as the “Somali babble”..
When listening to her, it is like taking a trip from New York to New Jersey via Oshkosh Wisconsin.. ..Lots of gas and tolls, but you really do not get anywhere..
If given the chance, she can explain to you in the most long winded, unintelligible manner, how she can hear “dog whistle messages”, presumably from the planet Krypton (I have the audio/video).. If you look closely, you can almost see her tin foil hat..
…Dumb as a post! Clever as a serpent!
Pam Minnick says
Minnesota is my home state, was home for 46 years, I’ve been gone for 8 years now. I saw what the Somali refugees were like and it was the ones they planted in Willmar. Willmar is 23 miles from my home town and almost every one goes there shopping and the Somali men would harrass women in the summer saying we were asking to be raped. I know the Somalis are worse in Minneapolis being their population is so much higher. I just can’t understand how Minnesotans there can still defend them, but to vote “HER” in blew my mind. I know all the Somali community voted for her that are citizens now, but they still wouldn’t have the numbers to get her in. I see very big problems coming to Minneapolis-St. Paul after the get the new fence up around the Somali apartment complexes this July. Them sending the millions to Somalia says alot. All Omar said about the welfare daycare fraud was defend muslims. She didn’t say one word about the ones who frauded the welfare system. She has one motive and that is to get Sharia law in place, she spews radical terrorism and how the hard left can turn a blind eye to it is beside me. How many more people need to become victims before they wake up? I’m glad I moved before Mark Dayton told Minnesotans to find a different state to live in if they didn’t want the refugees.

IMO none of those Somali Moslems should have ever been allowed into the United States. They – just like the Syrian Moslems in western Europe – used the “refugee” label to infiltrate the western world and establish their Caliphate on our soil.
They are nothing but Invaders.
Or Else! says
Islamist organizations have figured out our soft underbelly–the Left and its identity politics and hatred of Western civilization.
To the Left, Muslimas like Omar, Tlaib, and Sarsour represent two oppressed groups–women and Muslims–who have finally “broken through the white, Judeo-Christian, patriarchy”.
Jew-hatred on the platform means little to the Democrats/Liberals, because it results in votes. Shari’ah even sounds interesting to them….as Sarsour continues to sell it–with no derision from the MSM.
Craven idiots!

Is this the Muslim Chick who married her brother and then latter married another man so she had two husbands at one time? I wonder if she can marry another two and be equal with a Muslim male? LOL!

Will she be able to pass a security check? Will American Jews embrace her diversity as she signs laws to march them into the FEMA camp showers?
Georg says
Yes, yes, and yes.
carpediadem says
Will Christians embrace her “diversity” as she hastens to throw them in the FEMA camps with the Jews?
Indeed they will,a s they embrace Islam every day as it devours them in the Mid East, and the WCC trains Christian volunteers to witness against Jews and Israel while ignoring their persecuted brethren.
Mac-101 says
You are completely correct in that the majority of the Main Stream Christian denominations also refuse to acknowledge the violence and the desire on the part of Islam to destroy them. However , the Jews are the smartest people on the Earth and still fall for it is unbelievable. Especially since it is first the Saturday people, then the Sunday people!
Or Else! says
ME: Omar, Tlaib, and Sarsour have openly expressed anti-Israel, antI-Jewish rhetoric.
LEFTY: Muslim women finally get elected/have power and you can’t stand it! You’re a racist and a sexist!
ME: Islam is not a race…and anti-Semitism isn’t tied to gender. I’m talking about their ideas and beliefs.
LEFTY: You’re a privileged white man! You no longer have a say!
ME: Who’s the racist/sexist again?
And on it goes…..
Terry Gain says
Though I vigorously disagree with the hatred Muslims have for state of Israel I can understand it given that they have been fed the myth of the Palestinian people, but what explains the hatred for Christians. A couple of weeks ago Omar mocked Mike Pence with a tweet showing Pence with his eyes closed and the caption “Jesus take The wheel”.
A young woman escapes the Islamic sh*thole of Somalia and is welcomed in a country built mainly by Christians and this is how she behaves. Now what could explain her behaviour? Oh, did I mention that she is a Muslim. I missed the condemnations from her co-religionists for her gratuitous attack on Vice President Pence for his Christianity.
dan christensen says
“Islam has hypnotized the world,” The pope should write in a tweet. “May Jesus and Mary awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Islam.
The pope, Merkel and Macron are like the proverbial 3 monkeys – see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil: It is just that the ugly realities don’t go away because you ignore them.
The silly woman should not be in the prestigious “House Foreign Affairs Committee”. She probably believes that the House is some kind of a Christian mosque.

They even let the dress code go in congress ,for close to over 200 years no one in congress could wear any covering over their heads. She can go rag top because they do not want to offend her religion while attending business in congress.With pushing for a boycott on all Americans{including federal contracts?} using Israeli goods and services how could she be chosen foreign Affairs Committee no agenda there ? Next up she will push for Islamic pray breaks while in committee meeting ?

This is ant-Israel ,Jewish hating Muslim politician , IIhan Omar is rather unfit for office since she obviously lacks the wisdom of the former US President ,William Howard Taft , who in a speech declared “Antisemitism is noxious wed that should be cut out. It has no place in America.”
WPM says
Anyone who is a true Moslem who follows Islam is as fit to represent any people in this country as a true Nazi would be fit to represent any people of this country .They both have very similar core values , one the master race ,the other the master religion ,how either could get elected to hold any office including dog catcher shows what great ignorance in people in this country today. The MSM , libtard college professors ,weak cowardly non-Moslem elected leaders ,weak cowardly religious leaders (both Jewish and Christian) are to blame.

ItsReallyQuiteClear says
I don’t in any way intend to deny that there is such a thing as white privilege, nor to diminish its impact. But isn’t this a form of Muslim privilege?
The clear signal is that Omar’s status as a Muslim permits her to make public, hateful statements about a class of people whom we are to understand have lower status than her.
In fact, the treatment of Robert Spencer suggests that, in some cases, Muslim privilege trumps white privilege. Please do note that I qualified this observation; I certainly don’t believe that it applies in the majority of situations. But when it does appear to apply, it is particularly powerful and damaging.
Wikipedia defines white privilege as: “…the societal privilege that benefits people whom society identifies as white in some countries, beyond what is commonly experienced by non-white people under the same social, political, or economic circumstances.”
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_privilege
abad says
You are 1000% Correct.
Moslems in the United States are a “protected class” of people which means they can live according to their Islamic ways and disregard our secular laws that “interferes” with Sharia.
Did I mention that to a Moslem, the Quran trumps the Constitution?
PRCS says
While I could be wrong, I believe Judaism and Christianity teach the same principle.
If that IS accurate, the difference between Judaism/Christianity and Islam is:
(a) practicing those aspects of Judaism/Christianity/Islam which could/might run afoul of the U.S. Constitution have been limited/prevented by relevant law, though Islam appears to not be subject to the same level of enforcement and (b) most Jews and Christians aren’t actively trying to impose their religious beliefs/laws on everyone else, while Muslims certainly are.
—————
A 1998 newspaper article quoted CAIR founder Omar Ahmed (though he denies saying it):
“Omar M. Ahmad, chairman of the board of the Council on American-Islamic relations, spoke before a packed crowd at the Flamingo Palace banquet hall on Peralta Boulevard, urging Muslims not to shirk their duty of sharing the Islamic faith with those who are “on the wrong side.”
Muslim institutions, schools and economic power should be strengthened in America, he said. Those who stay in America should be “open to society without melting (into it),” keeping mosques open so anyone can come and learn about Islam, he said.
“If you choose to live here (in America) … you have a responsibility to deliver the message of Islam,” he said.
Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant, he said. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth, he said.”

Several news articles have been floating this past week about pelosi and the appointments made to the different committees in the House. She has angered some democrats by giving important seats to those who voted for her when she was hoping to be the Speaker again.
She refused seats to those who had voted against her, even though they had more experience and would have been better for the position.
Just as many in her party wish to fund the wall. However, pelosi and schumer deal in petty spite. Whatever is best, they put last; and the worst possible picks, they choose.
omar and tlaib bring their lies and rancid hatred with them into the House of government. Nothing good will come from this. Nothing good will come from the decision to put omar on this committee. Except, maybe, if it shows more people what kind of “person” she is.
Wellington says
I agree fully with you about Pelosi and Schumer, somehistory. They are petty, spiteful people and put their own interests and, more expansively, the interests of the Democratic Party, as they think it should be, above the interests of both the American nation and, even more damning here, the truth.
I have zero respect for Pelosi and Schumer. Oh, I don’t give a damn that they may be clever at times (more times than not, however, they are not). They are retrograde across the board and even looking at their countenance makes me want to look at someone, something, anything else (with due exceptions to this general rule, for instance looking at Tlaib, Omar, O’Rourke and Ocasio-Cortez).
America is in deep trouble and the primary reason for this (there are indeed many secondary and tertiary reasons) is what has happened to the Democratic Party, a once respectable party but clearly no longer.
I’ll put it even more plain like: The main threat in our age to America is not Islam, or gutless Republicans, or clueless millennials, or a moronic MSM, et al., but the Democratic Party of the USA. Yes, this is the chief culprit among so many other culprits presently in the process of attempting to ruin the great experiment begun by the Founding Fathers of America.
Wellington says
This Buttlim bitch is not the real problem, with her supremacy one finger up in the air and all the other baggage that attends her (including incest and mendacity). No, the real problem is that the Democratic Party has lost its collective mind—in Minnesota, California, New York, Massachusetts, et al.
Yet again can easily be discerned by all that that are not obtuse that the real problem with evil (and Islam, all of it, is evil to the core) is not evil itself but the exculpation of evil by others. A “big other” right now is the Democratic Party of the USA. And I assert this all the while cognizant that the Republican Party is not too hot either. It has not lost its collective mind as the Democratic Party clearly has, but it is increasingly on the verge of losing its collective guts. The recently retired Paul Ryan and the new Senator from Utah, one Mitt Romney, come to mind here as evidence of this last contention of mine.

Everyone seems to be outraged by this phony traitor Omar ☠️☠️that has infiltrated our government. And she is put on the foreign relations committee?? Unbelievable!! I live in Michigan and we have Tlaib to contend with!! She ran unopposed and used a fake address to establish Detroit residency!! Plus voter fraud is rampant in Detroit!! There is a petition here to remove her from office! If only…..
Then, on her first day she makes a vulgar remark about Pres Trump and there is only praise for her.
Also her connections to Isis are revealed! It’s hard to believe this is America! There is no acclimation of
Muslims in America, its invasion, pure and simple! The city of dearborn and Hamtramck and half of
Sterling Hgts, here in Michigan, look like the Middle East. I guess we can thank Bill Clinton for some of this as he brought in many thousands of Somalians in the mid 90s. Look how well that turned out??
And the democrats and media get upset because Karen Pence is volunteering at a Christian school –
Where is the outrage?? After 8 years of the Nazi Soros plant Obama, the damage will take centuries to
repair. Obama allowed many Muslims to infiltrate our government and his cabinet, and played the race card every day to cover it up! Completely outrageous!! And obama granted citizenship to thousands of Muslims before he left office and no one objects. Complete utter insanity. The democrats couldn’t be more
