“Pro-Palestinian school board member opposes honoring Hamas attack victims: ‘Ignores the root of the violence,'” by Gabriel Hays, Fox News, October 13, 2023:
A pro-Palestinian Fairfax County school board member scolded fellow board members Thursday for giving a statement and holding a moment of silence for the victims of Hamas’ recent deadly attack against Israel.
During the meeting, Abrar Omeish rebuked the board for their “sneak attack” of inserting a moment of silence for victims of Saturday’s surprise terrorist attack and Israel’s ensuing war against Hamas into the meeting’s agenda….
Airing her grievances with how the memorial was conducted, she said, “I wasn’t expecting what seemed to be a sneak attack after we had discussed making sure we represent all children in the ways that we speak and when we speak. So it’s disappointing that my colleagues would do that behind my back after conversations that I had with them in saying that the statement represents everybody’s views.”…
“Many are thinking about the incredible devastation and human suffering unfolding today in Israel and Palestine. And we mourn the loss of hundreds of innocent civilians killed and homes destroyed this week alone and the thousands over the decades,” Omeish said.
Omeish continued by declaring that seeing Israel’s retaliation against an aggressor as a black and white issue is insufficient, stating, “It might seem simple – aggressors attacking families in a state seeking vengeance – but we often sympathize with and humanize the side that we relate to and the side that looks more like us, or that our biases guide us towards.”
“But doing so ignores the root of the violence,” she said. Appearing to lessen the moral culpability of Hamas in its terrorism on Saturday, Omeish added, “Centuries of human history teach us that escalations happen when problems are ignored, realities are denied, and voices are censored. When one narrative dominates from the world stage all the way to our classrooms.”
She then uttered the social justice quote, “No justice, no peace,” and slammed Israel for building an apartheid state and murdering Palestinians….
Emilie Green says
Did she hum the Horst Wessel Song during the moment of silence for Israel and the Israeli victims?
somehistory says
She doesn’t like a “sneak attack”….but approves of that when hamas sneaks into Israel and rapes, tortures, kidnaps, murders families in their homes, including small children and infants.
She includes the children in the school as being like the hamas murderers by her statement that all of them have to be ‘represented’ in the statement.
If the parents have any sense, if they are listening and paying attention, she’ll hit the curb. Unless the mozlums there outnumber infidels.

Muslims have so enriched our universities and public discourse. No wonder Biden and the Democrats are demanding more to emigrate here.
Wellington says
Just demonstrating once again that the more that Muslims exist in any Western society, in this instance America, the more likely it is that, a la Ibn Warraq, the best of the West will be eradicated.
Muslims in any Western society can only, at best, be clueless respecting why the West accomplished all it did; at worst, actively complicit in parasitically using Western freedoms to destroy Western freedoms and Western Civilization overall.
There is no upside to more Muslims in any Western society. None. Zero. Nihil.

Only for the Hillary Clintons who are being paid millions of dollars to be pro Muslim. When Hillary says the word “Muslim,” it’s like watching her give a kiss.
FYI says
Should we tell her muhammed insisted women have low intelligence and that most muslima go to hell?
I don’t think women do:look at all those ex-muslimas.
I mean why should a woman wear a bag on her head when allah does not even understand Biology due to his LACK OF OMNISCIENCE problem and inability to understand Science.
Science or the koran?
Is our understanding of Biology wrong?No
is the koran false given all the scientific errors in it?Yes
And she has to wear a hijab on behalf of allah who does not even understand Biology;maybe mo was right about certain muslimas.

What the hell happened to Virginia?
Wellington says
“What the hell happened to Virginia?”
Well, James, I think what has happened to America and to the West overall is foolishly (and stupidly) thinking that all peoples across the Earth want the same thing. No they do not. And compounding this massive error in our era has been an unremittingly negative view of American and Western history, courtesy of the modern Left which never seems to criticize non-Western societies for anything.
Western honesty about itself as a civilization, and going the whole way back to ancient Greece, has been laudable in one respect but utterly self-defeating in another respect (and as Victor Davis Hanson has noted many times) because no other civilization, not one, has engaged in the self-introspection the West has. All possessed of sense, knowledge and fairness should ask themselves when has the Islamic world, the sub-Saharan African world, the Asian world, the American Indian world, et al. engaged in anything remotely akin to what the Western world has engaged in respecting self-criticism?
And compounding all this in a very dreary and depressing way is that Western Civilization achieved more than all other civilizations combined, easily so—no contest. Perhaps there is a connection here between achievement and self-criticism, the latter seemingly sometimes bordering on self-loathing. Not sure. Maybe it is a psychological “factor” that even personalities like Freud and Jung could have never figured out.
But something, aside from the Freuds and Jungs of the world, is amiss. That’s for sure. Arguably mankind is doomed whether introspective or not introspective enough. Reminded here of Shakespeare, to wit, “life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
Man keeps grasping for meaning but what if we live in a universe that is entirely indifferent to human suffering? I understand why the collective consciousness of mankind cannot, actually should not, come to this conclusion and why it has built up a plethora of religions and philosophies to soothe this enormous angst, but this still does not mean it is not the case that we are ultimately alone.
Well, I’m sure you will understand this and that is that it is time for me to have a beer or three to mull this eternal problem over. Be back soon because giving up is never an option.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
Thanks for the detailed and very informed reply.
Best wishes, and enjoy your beer.

What a sad wee lassie she is…
What a sad situation that Virginia has such a person in their State Government regardless of what position she has.
How sad that the people of Virginia put her in that position.
How sad that America is being defeated and taken over by sneaky wee bitches like this.

As one of allahu’s ackbarbarians, I would wonder if she’s a proper pious muslima, or is she sporting a clitoris like some sort of western hoe?
FYI says
Could the muslima at least make an effort with her hijab- at least for the sake of us infidels?
I mean look at all those lovely colored ones they have today for the fashionable muslimas-about town!
OLD GUY says
Why not be opposed to her being on the school board? Hamas is a violent murderous organization with one goal the murder and enslavement of all Jews and infidels. As an Islamic follower and supporter she is spreading the propaganda of ISLAM with her lies.
Elizabeth Lawson says
Fire her…..she represents violence, unacceptable savagery, and proudly spouts the ideology of a terrorist organization – The Muslim Brotherhood………we should ALL be afraid – be VERY afraid. Just think about it for a second: is SHE afraid of declaring her fealty to Hamas murderers of whole families? Not on your life, she’s got legions of fools ( whose lives are laughingly dismissed by hardcore terrorists) who are waiting in the wings to assist her and those like her, destroy their country from within.
Hana says
This is what happens when you let muslims into your country. They will not assimilate into a stable and healthy relationship with the other communities and religions. They have a warped belief that they are the highest form of justice. They hold their religious beliefs above our constitution. Obama and Biden have let these people in without being vetted. Something like what happened in Israel will happen here. The difference will be horrific because regardless of politics and corruption in our government Americans will wipe them off the face of the earth. If anyone thinks that killing, beheading babies, raping and brutalizing women is ok then they should not walk this earth.
DazzleMe says
Why is this woman even in office to begin with. These snakes are slithering in our government. Americans have become complacent.
