My latest in PJ Media:
Facebook is getting out of line, and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) is enraged. Instead of acting the way it usually does, dutifully carrying water for the far Left, Facebook has had the temerity to allow the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) to run an ad criticizing Omar herself. After a public career of virtually unanimous adulation from the media and fawning from her colleagues in Congress, even in the face of her repeated anti-Semitic statements, it must be jarring indeed for the winsome Congresswoman actually to face some negative feedback.
Rejecting Omar’s demands (so far) that the ad be taken down, Facebook is allowing AIPAC to run an ad reading, “When Israel Targets Hamas Rep. Omar calls it an ‘act of terrorism.’” This outrages the soft-spoken Omar because what she actually wrote was “Israeli air strikes killing civilians in Gaza is an act of terrorism.”
Omar and her henchmen contend that this is a misrepresentation of her position that is not only false, but potentially lethal. Isi Baehr-Breen, her deputy communications director (where was her principal communications director? Down at the border with Kamala Harris?), fumed: “It’s dangerous, plain and simple,” and claimed that the AIPAC ad constituted “anti-Muslim hate speech.”

Baehr-Breen added: “It’s par for the course for AIPAC to demonize electeds [sic] who stand up for Palestinian rights and an end to the occupation. What’s more surprising is their attempts to link Congresswoman Omar herself to Hamas terror attacks in their own advertising—ads that only target her, a Black, Muslim woman, in this way. It’s dangerous, plain and simple. It is also dishonest since Rep. Omar has been one of the few Members of Congress to condemn war crimes committed by both Netanyahu and Hamas while calling on the United States to actually take steps to end both the current outbreak of violence and the broader occupation.”
It’s true, sort of. Omar issued a statement Monday condemning “far right ethnonationalist Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu,” claiming that he is “now responsible for at least 1,505 casualties in Gaza, including 200 deaths, 59 of them children. He has leveled entire residential buildings, targeting journalists and civilians alike in direct violation of international law.” The statement added: “At least 10 Israelis, including 2 children, have also been killed by indiscriminate Hamas rocket attacks. To be clear, this is also a war crime.”
Notice that Omar’s office could find no pejorative adjectives to heap on Hamas to match those it found for Netanyahu. Notice also that while it condemned Hamas’ “indiscriminate…rocket attacks,” it said nothing about Hamas’ longstanding practice of launching attacks from civilian areas so as to draw retaliatory fire that would harm civilians and be usable for propaganda purposes. This launching of attacks from civilian areas has been abundantly documented, even by the unflaggingly anti-Israel United Nations. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) tweeted Thursday: “It’s not easy fighting a terrorist organization that embeds its military infrastructure in civilian areas. We use the latest military technology to precisely strike Hamas targets, while minimizing damage to the surrounding areas.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Finally. Just a taste of her own medicine. Someone calling her out for being the terror supporter she has proven time and time again to be.
Is she thinks there is too much heat in the kitchen, she can pack her bags…and those of her terror-supporting daughter, and hoof it back on to somalia where she can tell all of the lies she wishes to and support the other terror group closest to her heart, al shabab.
And those of us who were born here, and don’t support terrorists…whatever the color of their skin…can look forward to not seeing her ugly face, not hearing her ugly voice, or knowing that she gets paid to “rep” for the terrorists instead of the people she is paid to represent.
Her “deputy” must be an illiterate somalian mozlum, too.
roger Woodhouse says
‘ugly’ she most certainly isnt.She is a very good looking woman.Her mind is screwed there is no doubt.Speaking purely from a ‘male’s perspective ‘of course!
Eur says
It doesn’t look ugly to me either. In general Somali women have very attractive fine features. This woman is quite attractive despite being a pro-theocracy religious nut who only uses democratic instruments to destroy society from within.
somehistory says
As they say, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
I behold her as ugly. I’ve seen too many pics of her, listened to her on video, and my opinion is…ugly inside and out.
I’ve seen other photos of women from her country, and they were pretty. I wrote a paper for a course on anti-terrorism some years ago, and the main part of it was about somalia, the people coming here from there; and I had a source with many photos.
But this woman, to me is very ugly. So, think what you will. It doesn’t matter, anyway, because she is evil, and that always translates as ugly.
gravenimage says
Ilham Omar is objectively attractive–that is, if you don’t have a problem with her being a supporter of savagery. There were good-looking Nazis, as well.

Can you imagine actually being married to Ilhan Omar – and looking at that snake every night???
Infidel says
That’s what struck me about Tim Mynette: that he dumped his wife for Ilhan, who had nothing other than illicit money to offer him
Ray Fowler says
yes, but how many goverment millions has this lowlife put into her husbands bank account, she has broken just about every law and rule in the book and continues to get away with it. lied to immigration, married her brother, stolen money from re election account , she constantly lies to all and sundry, she is a disgrace to america,
mortimer says
I wonder what Ilhan Omar calls SOMALI nationalists?
Are they also ‘FAR RIGHT ethnonationalist SOMALIANS’ ???
Or are they ‘FAR RIGHT THEOCRATIC MUSLIM SUPREMACISTS’ ???
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Would we get greater coherence if Ilhan Omar wrote her press releases herself? Her deputy communications director Isi Baehr-Breen has a faulty command of English (his native language?). He writes, “What’s more surprising is their attempts to link Congresswoman Omar herself to Hamas terror attacks”. What’s the grammatical subject of the verb “is” in that sentence? “Their attempts is more surprising”? Also, Benjamin Netanyahu is a “far right ethnonationalist Israeli leader”. What justifies the intensifier “far”? Can Mr. Baehr-Breen name an ethnonationalist Israeli leader who is right, but not “far” right? Or is “far right” a Homeric epithet as in “wine dark sea”?
Jim says
Ilhan is a blot on the history of Minnesota politics. Minnesota once had a reputation for responsible government, back when Humphrey and Mondale were leading politicians. But those days are past. Now we enjoy her anti-Semitic comments and self-righteous attacks on America. If she hates us so much, she should move to some Muslim country.

(D-Mogadishu) !?!!! I love it Robert. Good one. That’s who that nasty witch illegal alien should be representing.

Yes–this is grimly amusing.

What’s this! An enraged Muslim. No, that can’t be possible. Surely not. Muslims are almost always the most mellow, chilled out of people. Islam teaches them to be as peaceful as a Buddhist monk. We all know that islam is peaceful because so many “experts” keep telling us so. Glad to see this evil Muslim politician, Ilhan Omar, being called out for the piece of crap that she is. On the way that Muslims are always getting enraged about any criticism they cop, I think it must be because in any Muslim-run country, no one ever dares to criticise the maggots because it will mean either death for the critic or a huge jail sentence. Hence Muslims are outraged when anyone dares to criticise their evil garbage. They aren’t used to anyone daring to criticise them. And also, of course, they are speaking god’s truth (more likely the devil’s word, since that has to be what this creature allah is) so how dare anyone criticise them.
Fred van de Bunt says
Here an ex-Hamas member, the escaped son of a Hamas leader, is talking:
“Hamas hates Israel more then they love their own children.”
“During [the mid-1990s], Hamas tortured and killed hundreds of prisoners. Many, if not all, had nothing to do with Israeli intelligence,”

You are right that Muslims have done next to nothing to develop Gaza. No real surprise there.
Georgina says
Mind-bending her rep acts like Omar is a victim, claiming it is unacceptable to make such claims against a Muslim congresswoman who is in the public eye, yet she chooses to make statements supporting Hamas terrrorists and the complete banishment of Israel! She incites hate against Jews, the Prime Minister of Israel and calls anyone a Nazi who does not support it. She is a jihadist, using soft jihad media propaganda in fierce force. She gets no sympathy from me as a woman. How dare she act like a victim.
somehistory says
Those who come here from other nations do not always understand the laws. She is one of those. She expects to be treated special because she is mozlum, and she thinks that being in Congress gives her a special privilege too.
And with all of the Black racist stuff going on these past few years…since ‘o’ caused such a big stink to come up, she thinks she should be protected from any talk she doesn’t like.
The thing about American Law is that if someone is in the public eye, they have less **protection** from people saying things than does the private citizen…and she doesn’t want to recognize this feature of the legal system.
She’s in a body that is supposed to write laws for the country…and yet, she doesn’t want to follow any that have already been written and established these many years.
But, that’s mozlum …don’t want to say thinking, because I don’t believe they do think…they just are taught to react, usually badly, all of the time for whatever.

Omar is not some naif–she is, sickeningly, a member of Congress.
Giacomo Latta says
”ads that only target her, a Black, Muslim woman”
Playing the black card and the woman card so early in the debate? Total desperation. As for the muslim card, go ahead. We all know its a pseudo-religious ideology for modern day lovers of 700 AD and indiscriminate killing.
ronyvo says
Again, Omar, in order to be fair, let me tell you something that you know very well. In Islam a man equals 4 (four) women. What that tells you?!! That is among many other things which all make a woman NOTHING in the mighty Islam.
Then you came here AND You woke up one morning you found yourself a member of the honorable USA Congress, (honorable) that is at least until you revile it by your membership.
As I said in order to be fair, this is not your fault. It is completely ours that we allow your kind to represent Americans!!! What a disgrace.
You keep lying, another excuse I give you, you would not know what is lying, since Islam is based on lies. I actually feel sorry for you.
OLD GUY says
It’s about time Omar was callout for representing islamic jihad, instead of the American constitution and people. When you put trash like her in public office all you end up with is garbage.
hammar says
omar couldn’t give a flying hoot what people think of her…she has every right to hate. She’s a muslim, first. Then a representative.She believes she can say and do anything.
Remember mohammad was a killer and a pillager first, then the {phony} prophet later.
Do you know what I think? There should be no muslims in Israel at all. Send’em back to Egypt and Syria and Liberia. Pray always for Israel.
Ray says
She is a disgrace to the US and to Congress of which she is a member – an anti American and pro terrorist sympathizer – People have given their lives fighting against the Jihadi groups that she supports.
She need to be booted out of the US congress – a patriotic American she is NOT despite what the USA has given her – something she as a woman would never be able to attain in moslem Somalia – we all know what ‘respect’ moslem women are given under Islamic sharia….. Yet she choose to
