Hollywood rallies around Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar despite her anti-Semitic tweets

Feb 15, 2019 3:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Hollywood celebrities concerned about bigotry in America made one big exception this week to defend Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after she was accused of anti-Semitism for remarks she made about the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).”

Note well: these Hollywood celebrities who heavily impact culture are not concerned about anti-Semitism, but about anti-Muslim bigotry, with specific reference to Rep. Ilhan Omar, who is herself a purveyor of bigotry. It’s insane, but it is also a familiar pattern. It’s fine for Muslims to be bigoted against Jews and other infidels, apostates, and homosexuals, to deem women to be inferior, and hold black slaves.

Despite Omar’s anti-Semitic tweets claiming that “Jewish money was behind American elected officials’ support for Israel,” specifically the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Bernie Sanders stated: “We will stand by our Muslim brothers and sisters.”

“Hollywood Rallies Around Ilhan Omar: ‘I’m a Jew; She Was Right About AIPAC,’” by Justin Caruso, Breitbart, February 14, 2019:

Hollywood celebrities concerned about bigotry in America made one big exception this week to defend Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after she was accused of anti-Semitism for remarks she made about the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

“It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” Rep. Ilhan Omar said in a social media post about GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy defending Israel.

She then insinuated that AIPAC was paying American politicians to be pro-Israel.

Many political figures, even Democrats, accused her of perpetuating harmful anti-Semitic tropes.

Hollywood celebrities, however, had a different opinion.

“I’m a Jew; she was right about AIPAC,” comedian Michael Ian Black said, adding, “Also, I’m an American; I’m right about the NRA.”

“Trump’s criticism of Omar is ironic given how many times he has made anti-Semitic comments or hesitated to denounce such rhetoric,” Mia Farrow remarked.

Left-wing director Judd Apatow responded to Vice President Mike Pence’s condemnation of Omar, snarking, “Pocahontas is cool? Nazi’s are good people is cool? Mexicans are rapists is cool? Africa is a shithole is cool? Grab em by the pussy is cool? Gotcha.”

Rosie O’Donnell re-tweeted a similar criticism of Trump, simply adding, “ImpeachTrumpNow.”

Michael Moore simply posted a glowing photo of Omar….

      Hollywoodized Western governments, media, NGO’s, entertainment establishment, academia, religious organizations, social groups & social media and a very large part of Western societies are ALL on the side Islamists, including Islamist jihadists! Hollywood, the most corrupt, the most godless and the most satanic organization in the world is the worst of them all! The evil, satanic Anti-Christ Hollywood which is also the sole conditioner and driver of Western postmodernistic pop culture even rewards Al-Qaeda “White Helmets” with Oscars!!!

      Transgendered, Hollywoodized, Decadent, Anti-Christ, Materialistic and Morally compromised satanic West poses a very great danger to the whole world! Under the guise of “freedom” and “human rights”, the Hollywoodized West spreads Islamism, political-correctness, chaos, cultural marxism, moral relativism, mass abortion, atheistic secularism and “LGBTQ” corruption to the whole world, while at the same time it is aiding and abetting islamists, including murderous Islamic jihadists all across the world.

    It is time to boycott Hollywood and all of the left wing nuts that use their celebrity status to influence the weak minded sucophants that adoringly cling to each and every utterance of those empty vessels.

    Don’t go to watch their movies or shows and protest with your wallet. They will soon feel the burn of less profits and less work as a result.

    Most “celebs” are just self centered nihalists who don’t have a clue about what is real and simply latch onto the latest fad in order to draw attention to themselves.

      Hollywood is much, much more than an entertainment outlet. Its arts, its entertainment, its music and films are just the trojan horse or the tool with deeper aim and goal! From its inception, Hollywood had a sinister agenda that only few knew and that agenda is complete transformation of the US, Western societies and it won and achieved that big time! Its next step now is to go global which it already did decades ago! Hollywood is much more dangerous than ISIS and Al-Qaeda combined! Watch:

    Nothing is more hypocritical or dillusional than Hollywood, or most of California for that matter!
    There is just no cure for stupid!!!
    Why they support the fraudulent progressive Muslim Omar, is beyond comprehension! Especially
    when there are so many powerful Jewish people in Hollywood?? When you look
    at Omar, Tlaib, and Ocasio, you can see how off center the democrat socialist party has become!
    It’s all so un-American ! We can also thank disgraceful Bill Clinton for letting all the Somalians immigrate
    in the 90s. Look how well that worked out. Then Obama allowed the Muslim infiltration of our government
    when they support Sharia, not the US constitution. It’s the definition of insanity. It will takes a century to
    repaired the damage Obama did to the CIA, the FBI, the IRS, the military, the court system, etc etc.
    It’s basically why Pres Trump was elected – – to drain the swamp and save the United States !
    And he’s doing a pretty good job in spite of the opposition he gets everyday 24/7. Wake up
    America before it’s too late ! Build the wall!!

    Do you know why?

    Ilhan Omar belongs to an ideology that has an EVIL islamic teaching calling for the …annihilation of the Jews:hizbollah/hamas/fatah/the iranian mad mullahs subscribe to it.

    SAHIH MUSLIM# 6985

    I DARE the smug ,immoral, Hollyweird celebrities and wealthy virtue-signalling Lefties to look into that.Did you miss all the Jews that have been targeted and murdered in Europe etc..by Omar’s fellow cultists in the “religion of peace”?

    It’s no Joke!

    It’s all about the islamics baby!😃😊

    I’d like these Hollywood morons to explain to me why suddenly AIPAC is all powerful when we have a President who is doing things they don’t agree with, but AIPAC couldn’t accomplish much when Obama was in power. Suddenly, when the guy they don’t like has won the Presidency and the guys they don’t like have the Senate, they invent all kinds of conspiracy theories, even ant-semitic ones.

        Even if someone does not accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, or even believe He existed, there is no just cause to say such things about someone who is reported to have only the best in His mind
        and heart for mankind. someone reported to have died for all to live.

    Unfortunately these Liberal Jews have not read or viewed the history of the holocaust. There was Islamic involvement in ‘assisting’ Hitler how to rid Germany of Jews. These Liberals will be the ‘first’ to go if this despicable group of evil ever has power. It is up to ‘us’ to expose all those who adhere to their end goal…it will not end well.
    ………..

    I completely disagree. in fact, I think this is an incredibly stupid statement. Why would Muslims first attack their enablers? The first to go will be the people who opposed them.

    • Indiana Tom says

      Feb 15, 2019 at 10:21 pm

      The Muslims have had a better track record of attacking liberal groups than conservative ones. Their attacks are based on hate, not reason.

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 15, 2019 at 10:33 pm

      Muslims have a long and ugly history of turning on their enablers. Just look at what happened to the Communist Tudeh Party in Iran after the Islamic revolution there.

    The height of “privilege” is being blind to one’s own privilege. And believing that the rules don’t apply to one. That’s Hollywood, with the added benefit of a practiced skillset in successfully(?) purveying untruth as reality. Add in a preoccupation with public perception, in an environment of intense political correctness — which is defined by leftists — and you have a toxic formula of ignorant Hollywood types, and ignorant and lazy celebrity worshipers, eager to mimic and follow them.

    I think that the percentage of Jews in Hollywood is incidental to this idiocy, other than that we, of all people, should know better. The half life of “Never again” is alarmingly short, and its soluble in an ostensibly comfortable lifestyle.

    I read a number of books about the Holocaust and the European Theatre of WWII around the time I graduated high school and my first few years of college. Martin Gilbert wrote a book that numbs the mind when you go over the numbers he is talking about. I constantly tried to put myself in the shoes of an everyday German. When you read stories of civilians being confronted with the situation going on all around them before Allied liberation you are inclined to call BS when they claimed “I didn’t know!” “We didn’t know!” I also came to the conclusion that if they really didn’t know there was no excuse for not knowing it.

    However, this modern day insanity has me somewhat rethinking or modifying my position. I still lean toward “there is no excuse to not know.” But bear and bare witness to what we are seeing now. Everyone must see what goes on in the world, plenty of people were aware of what was going on in Rochdale and Rotherham over the period of a lifetime. Plenty of men identified Nidal Hassan, anyone can look at a picture of the attendees of Bush’s address from the Mosque after 9/11 and point out the who’s who among Muslims with strong terrorist ties or are terrorists themselves. Everyone sees what happens with women getting raped and harassed in Scandinavia and Germany, but no one is allowed to talk about it. When you do talk about it, particularly among young people It is as though you are trying to convince them that the Earth is a sphere and they are just not having it.

    Generations of indoctrination certainly helps.

    Still no excuse and when you are judged you should not be forgiven, but, though bizarre, it is not so difficult for me to see how easy it is for a massive population to live in denial of blatant reality.

    Hollywood has long had a way of pushing ideas it wanted the public to accept. For some time, television shows that have had any reference to “terrorism” or “terrorists,” have made a point of absolving moslims of any guilt in that violent activity.
    Back some years ago, the show JAG, had a lot of terror related episodes, but for the most part, moslims were seen as exotic and mysterious as opposed to “abu syef” and other terror groups. islam was never the problem, moslims were never the problem…it was always just a disagreement with government activity or policy. The same with NCIS and it’s offshoots. It isn’t islam. or moslims…..it’s terrorism and terrorists.
    Law and Order had similar episodes where non molsims were the terror perps and moslims were innocent, even if there was some idea to have one arrested temporarily.

    But, this should not shock the public who is aware of just how violent moslims can become when someone speaks the truth about islam. So, they are not going to try to hold this creepy moslim rep of the mb accountable for her hate. Who knows? Maybe they hate the same way for the same “reason”.

    There are moslims in all aspects of society…entertainment, government, big business, medicine, academia, etc. They influence from the inside…and with violence and whining, from the outside.
