My latest in PJ Media:
At her joint press conference Monday with Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) over their being barred from entering Israel, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) suggested that Israel was neither an ally of the United States nor a genuine democracy: “Denying a visit to a duly elected members of Congress is not consistent with being an ally. And denying millions of people freedom of movement or expression or self-determination is not consistent with being a democracy.” But there were a few other salient issues regarding their aborted trip that they failed to mention.
The sponsors of the Tlaib/Omar junket to “Palestine” (nowhere in their planned itinerary did they mention visiting “Israel”) have been linked to anti-Semitism and jihad terrorism. They had nothing to say about that.
The reason why the freedom of movement of any Palestinian is restricted is because of Palestinian genocidal incitement and celebration of the jihad murder of Israeli civilians. They had nothing to say about that.
The Palestinians have turned down numerous peace offers from Israel, not content with anything other than the total destruction of Israel, as I show in my forthcoming book The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process. They had nothing to say about that.
There was a great deal more that they distorted beyond recognition: “The irony of the ‘only democracy’ in the Middle East making such a decision,” said Omar when the ban was first announced, “is that it is both an insult to democratic values and a chilling response to a visit by government officials from an allied nation.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tried to restore some realism and honesty to the discussion: “As a free and vibrant democracy,” he said, “Israel is open to critics and criticism, with one exception: Israeli law prohibits the entry into Israel of those who call for, and work to impose, boycotts on Israel, as do other democracies that prevent the entry of people believed to be damaging to the country.”
That’s why they were banned, and with good reason. Omar and Tlaib are not just congresswomen who criticize Israel. They are active apologists for the jihad terror networks Hamas and Hizballah. The Washington Examiner reported in May that “Rep. Ilhan Omar appeared to take the side of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad Sunday night after terrorists fired hundreds of rockets at civilian targets in Israel this weekend.” Omar tweeted: “How many more protesters must be shot, rockets must be fired, and little kids must be killed until the endless cycle of violence ends? The status quo of occupation and humanitarian crisis in Gaza is unsustainable. Only real justice can bring about security and lasting peace.”
About Hamas’ genocidal incitement and celebration of the murders of Israeli civilians she was silent. Nor has she ever uttered a murmur of protest against the fact that Hamas is dedicated to the complete destruction of Israel, which, if it ever happened, would result in the deaths of millions of Israelis.

I wasn’t aware that the Israelis were occupying Gaza. I thought they had left the place and were now being “thanked” by having rockets/missiles fired at themselves!

Rob Schwartzman says
Quite telling is her reference to “endless cycle of violence”. The terms “endless” and “cycle” are arguable, but it had a beginning. Take your pick: Arab attacks on Jews at least as far back as 1929? Arab states attacks on Israel in 1948? Arab terrorism not against the Jordanian occupation of Judea and Samara but only against Jewish presence in Judea and Samaria? Arab attacks on civilians inside Israel at least as far back as the Lod airport massacre in 1972? ….

Was it perhaps because of what their “prophet” muhammed said about muslim women that they have a “DEFICIENCY of the mind” which is why the koran insists a muslima’s testimony is HALF that of a muslim man{k2:282,Sahih Bukhari #2658
al Lah’s koranic mathematics of k2:282:
“And call to witness from among your men,two witnesses and if two men not be at hand then a man and TWO women”:
One muslim man=TWO muslim women in testimonial value.
So ilhan omar’s value =1/2 that of a muslim man
so you would need TWO muslimas to equal ONE muslim male
{…lefty hijab-promoting feminists kindly note..}
islam:the religion for women?
Perhaps Tlaib and omar choose to forget certain things.
If you add their worth in al lah’s eyes they equal one muslim man.

Peace lover says
You are taking Quran out of context for the era and reasons you don’t know . Be respectful of other religions and Holy Books like you would like for your own religion and holy book.
Can’t use one or two verses of Quran in isolation and out of context , Looks like you haven’t read the history and context in which Quran was revealed. Women babies in that era of pagan idolators were being buried alive when Islam uplifted women from ‘ no status ‘ to women being able to testify and counted as 1/2 witness.
This is a different era and times. Showing tolerance and respect of all religions is required and the call of the day …….Think of peaceful coexistence !

“Peace lover” hits on the single decent thing in all of the Islamic texts–the prohibition on pagan infanticide. Of course, Judaism and Christianity already condemned such savagery, so this was nothing new.
Then the idea that women had no status in pre-Islamic Arabia and that being counted as half a human being was a step up is simply not the case. Muhammed’s first wife Kadija was a successful business woman *before* the scourge of Islam.
This is a different era and times.
………………………
Except that it’s not. Muslims believe that women have half the intelligence and half the worth of men in perpetuity. Shati’ah courts to this day accord women’s testimony as worth half that of men. Surely “Peace lover’ is well aware of this.

The demand that it is “required’ that we show respect to the violence and persecution of Islam is just sickening, and no–there is nothing peace loving about forced submission and genocide. Islam only coexists peacefully with other faiths if everyone submits to its barbarous diktats.

“You are taking Quran out of context for the era”
Really? Isn’t the quran supposed to be the words of allah, valid for all times? And if the quran can’t be taken out of the era it was invented, then it’s worthless nowadays and islam is pointless.
“Be respectful of other religions and Holy Books like you would like for your own religion and holy book.”
Don’t have any, and even if I had, respect is a two-way street – I’ll never “respect” an ideology that teaches hatred of infidels for them being infidels.
“Can’t use one or two verses of Quran in isolation and out of context , Looks like you haven’t read the history and context in which Quran was revealed.”
Fun fact: I’ve never seen “context” making the “slay the unbeliever” verses mean “hug and kiss the unbelievers”.
“Women babies in that era of pagan idolators were being buried alive when Islam uplifted women from ‘ no status ‘ to women being able to testify and counted as 1/2 witness.”
That’s the islamic claim, and, as far as I know, there are no non-islamic sources corroborating it. I find it hard to believe that baby girls were being murdered at birth for more than one generation, especially when there were so many women around muslim men were allowed to marry up to four and have as many sex slaves as they could afford. Oh, and wasn’t muhammad’s first wife a successful business woman? Kind of hard to do so if one has “no status”…
“This is a different era and times.”
Very well – show us the exegesis stating that the verses saying that women are worth half of a man are no longer valid.
“Showing tolerance and respect of all religions is required and the call of the day …….Think of peaceful coexistence !”
There can be no “peaceful coexistence” when followers of one religion constantly try to impose their religion on others and murder others because of their religion.

The larger question is this:
Why do our two female US Representatives, Tlaib and Omar, belong to, and promote Islam – to the detriment of all women?
What is their motivation? How do they benefit? How do the females that they represent benefit?
Where are the women rights groups?
Angela Ryan says
Disappointingly narrow minded attack. Anti Zionism has been, and is an approach many Jews and Israelis espouse. The current administration forwards these half truths to bolster their position. Plenty in the Israeli electorate disagree. The Balfour agreement of 1924 was foisted on the elected Palestinian Parliament by the occupying Brits. No consultation. Palestine was and is a viable country. The two state solution must be explored.
gravenimage says
Few Jewish people seek the destruction of Israel, as these Muslimahs do.
You see what Muslims have done with Gaza, and apparently believe that Israelis deserve to suffer more of the same. *Ugh*.
The Observer says
Few Muslims wants the destruction of Israel. They want the Palestinian lands back, let Israel give the Palestinian lands back and no one will fight for land. Israel was the first to make the dispute racial! Denying Palestinian their lands that was occupied by Zionist army in 1948 because they are not Jews, and on the other hand giving out the Palestinian lands and houses to Jews coming from all over the world. Stop the crocodile tears. It’s not about Muslim vs Jews , it’s about occupied vs occupier
Remember Palestinians are not only Muslims , they are also Christians but what makes them not relevant to the Israeli government is they are not Jews
Angemon says
“Few Muslims wants the destruction of Israel.”
Citation needed.
“They want the Palestinian lands back, let Israel give the Palestinian lands back and no one will fight for land.”
What is this “Palestinian land” you speak of? And what say you of groups such as Hamas, whose charter calls for violence against Jews – not “Israelis” or “Zionists”, just Jews – and states that their goal is the destruction of the state of Israel? How many land concessions has Israel made? What does she have to show for it?
“Israel was the first to make the dispute racial!”
Citation needed.
“Stop the crocodile tears. It’s not about Muslim vs Jews , it’s about occupied vs occupier/i>”
If that’s the spin you want to put to pretend it’s not what we actually see going on, fine – how far back shall we go? Which year acts as an arbitrary line in the sand where you say “from this point back, there’s no no claim to lands taken by foreign invaders”? Because, going back far enough, the “Palestinians” need to give the lands back to their rightful owners.
“Remember Palestinians are not only Muslims , they are also Christians”
A small minority, and the muslim “Palestinians” are more of a threat to them than you claim the Israelis to be:

What rot. Most Muslims consider all of Israel to belong to Islam–they make this quite clear. Little Israel is surrounded by hostile Muslim nations; the local Muslims never considered themselves to be “Palestinians” until the name was invented by the Soviets after the 1967 War.

Christians are not persecuted in Israel–but they have been almost wiped out in Gaza and the “West Bank”. And there are very few Christians waging violent Jihad against Israel. as “The Observer” implies.
keith says
They also conveniently for got the fact that a nation state has the right to tell whom ever they like to “fuck off”.
But of course by denying that Israel is a nation means that this nations security decisions are meaningless.
Simply denying something doesn’t make it not exist. A bit like Jihadi murderers.

What about the anti-Semitic term of “palestinian” in our own government & Country?
In my opinion using, or allowing others to use the slang term, “palestinian” is an anti-Semitic term in of itself. Please read on to understand my full argument.
Dear Congresswoman AOC, Congresswoman Tlaib & Congresswoman Omar respectfully, also Dear President Trump Sir, Senator Cruz, Congressman Nunez, and the rest of Congress respectfully.
Israel has offered a peace plan solution six times at least
that I know of.
However, your terrorist Arab Nationals have turned peace down all six times.
It is the Arab Nationals in the area who are the oppressors, not Israel.
You will notice I have used the actual historical nationality of the Arab Nationals living within Israel.
There has never been a nation of Palestinians therefore I will not give historical credence where credence is not due.
The occupiers who are not Israeli within the sovereign state of Israel, are, and always have been, Arab Nationals.
I would like to start hearing everyone speak the truth going forward.
As here in the United States of America, I was born in Detroit. However there has never been a nation of Detroit. I am a citizen of the United States. Just as the Arab Nationals are still Arab Nationals. I will not print, speak, or spread the lie that they are anything but Arab Nationals.
As additional clarification, a further response of mine to a claim of the interpretation or justification of the use of the misnomer term of “palestinian”.
Using “To whom it may concern” to protect the person’s identity who required additional clarification for my above statement.
“I will agree to disagree with you on this point respectfully.
They always were Arab Nationals, Palestinian was simply a term the British made up for convenience.
To date they are either Israeli Nationals or Arab Nationals within the State of Israel.
If they are Israeli Nationals they are guilty of civil war style atrocities and Israel would be rightful at incarceration of all found guilty of sedition & treason.
If they are Arab Nationals they are guilty of attacking an Independent State and are such “Enemies of the State”.
The sovereign State of Israel ?? is rightful in any action they choose to take in response to the ongoing aggressive crimes and attacks regardless what the surrounding Arab Nations nor the United Nations try to dispute.
If they claim not to be Israeli Nationals the State if Israel has the full sovereign right to round them all up and remove them from the State of Israel as “Enemies of the State of Israel” via enforcement of removing enemy combatants on Israeli land.
You choose which, or they can. Either way Israel has been more than patient in their response to the issue”.
I suggest a bill in Congress supporting the accuracy of these facts an important change within our Government & our Public Schools & Halls of Education.
I dare anyone to try to change my mind.

Radical Islam Watcher says
This is so eerily similar to the whole Kashmir issue of india that Israel supports India for. Only a section of radicalized muslims want a separate caliphate that they call Nizame-e-Mustafa (government of Islam) & happily blow themselves on army vehicles & establishments. They cry foul and act victims when army retaliates. Exactly like Palentinians, their logic is if we kill 2 Israelis why does Israel kill 10 , thats disproportionate !! No one speaks about their attacks ? They want the whole converted to Islam.

These two are anti-AMERICAN, it’s sad that we have allowed these people to invade our system of government. Banning immigration from all MUSLIM countries is the only way to stop the spread of the islam ideology in the world. Let them languish in their backward religion and countries, the only reason they have become noticed by the rest of the world is for OIL. Leave them live in their own little world and they will slowly fade away, you can’t eat OIL. Before OIL nobody ever heard of Islam in the modern world.
