This is just weak and mealy-mouthed virtue-signaling, designed to cover for their endorsement of Omar and refusal to remove her from the Foreign Affairs Committee. Omar can even vote for this resolution as it stands, and probably will. “War is deceit,” said Muhammad.
“Democratic rebuke of Ilhan Omar won’t name her,” by Susan Ferrechio, Washington Examiner, March 5, 2019:
House Democrats will vote on a resolution Wednesday condemning anti-Semitism, but the measure will not name Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., whose comments prompted the rare condemnation from her fellow lawmakers.
The four-page resolution is sponsored by Rep. Ted Deutch, D-Fla., and “rejects anti-Semitism as hateful expressions of intolerance that are contradictory to the values that define the people of the United States.”
The measure outlines the history of anti-Semitic attacks against Jews and addresses “the myth of dual loyalty, including allegations that Jews should be suspected of being disloyal neighbors or citizens.” Omar in a series of tweets raised the idea that Jewish members of Congress shouldn’t be loyal to Israel over America.
“[A]ccusing Jews of dual loyalty because they support Israel, whether out of a religious connection, a commitment to Jewish self-determination after millennia of persecution, or an appreciation for shared values and interests, suggests that Jews cannot be patriotic Americans and trusted neighbors, when Jews have served our Nation since its founding, whether in public life or military service,” the resolution said in rebuttal.
“Jewish people are subject to numerous other dangerous anti-Semitic myths as well, including that Jews control the banks, media, and the United States Government or seek world domination and that Jews are obsessed with money,” it added.
It concluded by saying the House “acknowledges the dangerous consequences of perpetuating anti-Semitic stereotypes,” and also “rejects anti-Semitism as hateful expressions of intolerance that are contradictory to the values that define the people of the United States.”…

if Jews are conflicted with divided loyalties to the U.S. and Israel, does’t that beg the question, “Are Muslims more loyal to Islam than to the U.S.? Muslims have proven this to be the case time after time.

I understand the liberals are holding out till the bill also states censure for any Islamophobic condemnation. The three new liberal socialist in congress, OAC,Tlaib and Ilhan own Nancy and Nancy owns the Democratic Socialist party. There will be no censure of any of these women.

That’s the most important point that everyone seems to be missing: civilization jihadists CAIR have no doubt helped craft this “Trojan horse” formal condemnation that signifies a “slippery slope” in that is is the beginning of freedom of speech censorship on-par with W. Europe and England of late, and could lead to criminalizing “islamophobia” and criticism of islam in general.
Victimhood subterfuge-waging civilization jihadists have very cleverly turned this whole series of incidents into an opportunity for themselves, even though it is their islamo-typical Jew hatred and anti-Semitism that has generated the momentum for a condemnation such as this. And with the tide currently in their favor, there will be no censure of these treasonous women; you’re correct about that.
But this “islamophobia” earmark represents an alarming development I many different ways.
The pressure is on, but hopefully, this POS won’t be signed en masse in the house. People should contact their legislators and urge them not to sign it, even though the record will show they have officially declined to sign the “formal condemnation of anti-Semitism”.
They are playing hardball, and the stakes are suddenly very high.
Naildriver says
Sadly, traitors are abundant in congress. At some point their pernicious aid to out enemy, Islam, will result in very deadly consequences for US citizens.
Emilie Green says
While Omar the Muslim isn’t named, everyone knows the Who is the reason for the resolution. And increasingly, though not fast enough, the Why (i.e., Islam’s hatred of the Jew).
Tar Baby is “a doll made of tar and turpentine used by the villainous Br’er Fox to entrap Br’er Rabbit. The more that Br’er Rabbit fights the Tar-Baby, the more entangled he becomes.
“In modern usage, tar baby refers to a problem situation that is only aggravated by additional involvement with it.”

Democrats should answer the question of who is raising this “ myth of dual loyalty, including allegations that Jews should be suspected of being disloyal neighbors or citizens.” ? That person should be censored!

HOT, STEAMING PILES OF FARM-FRESH TAQIYYA!
Her statement is INCONSISTENT because USA is not AT WAR with Israel. Dual loyalty is only a problem if the fundamental goals of the two countries are strongly opposed. However, Ilhan Omar is at war against the American constitution, because it is a contradiction of most Sharia law and the US constitution claims to SUPERCEED all previous constitutions on the grounds of HUMAN REASON.
The Islamic UMMAH is per se AT WAR against all KAFIRS according to the 164 Koranic jihad verses, according to dozens of hadiths, scores of fatwas, sections of Sharia law and according to the canonical commentaries of Islamic sages of the ISLAMIC CONSENSUS. According to the constitution of Islam, Ilhan Omar is AT WAR against the American constitution.
The US is not strongly opposed to most of the democratic countries in the world. The US is ‘friendly’ with many dictatorships that have business with the US.

Is there a typo here? There ought to be a comma after “intolerance”, unless the resolution wants to allow hateful expressions of intolerance that are NOT contradictory to the values that define the people of the United States. Maybe “impeach the motherfucker” would be one of those.
somehistory says
The “miserable House” is cooperating with the mb and its evil plan.
The Republicans also wrote a ‘resolution,’ but the dems are not even considering it. Because….the plan is to make criticism of islam and moslims, a.k.a. “the Truth” off limits in their “miserable House.”
The dems know already that they can’t stop the big mouths of omar, aoc and tlaib from lying, slandering, and generally being arrogant and obnoxiously stupid. So, they pretend to try to stop them through a resolution…that will condemn and outlaw any truth-telling about them or their evil creed of the wild beast. aoc is not yet…a moslim…unless she is secretly one, but she supports everything the other two snakes say and do…so she may as well begin wearing a scarf, maybe even a veil.
Everyone should be prepared. Resolutions in the House have turned into “laws” for everyone to follow or face fines and prison.
mummymovie says
Spot-on.
This resolution is the beginning of the slippery slope that will criminalize -in America- criticism of islam and jihad terror.
Our enemies never rest. They are very clever, and obviously have our legislators eating out of their proverbial hand.
Scary stuff.
Everyone should contact their representatives before the delay expires, and urge them not to sign this deceptive resolution.
Kay says
I agree. Look at all the commotion this woman has caused in such a short time. I honestly believe she is being coached. She got the position, but someone else is telling her what to do in it.
mummymovie says
I think so, too.
gravenimage says
House Democrats condemn anti-Semitism because of anti-Semitic Rep. Ilhan Omar, but don’t name her
…………………
Better than nothing, I guess, but pretty damn weak tea.
mummymovie says
I disagree.
Worse than nothing, actually, because of the “islamophobia” addendum slipped into it.
This is a Trojan horse.
