Who is Ilhan Omar?
Ilhan Omar, a refugee from Somalia, is the elected representative for Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District. She was the first Somali-American elected to Congress, one of the first two Muslim women elected, and the first woman of color to represent Minnesota.
Omar’s history of anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism is longer than her political career. According to a Fox News report, in 2012 she tweeted, ”Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.” (She later deleted that tweet after she was criticized briefly for it.) According to Spectator reported.
Her latest statements and tweets, in which she equated the United States and Israel to the Hamas and Taliban terrorist networks, are part and parcel of her beliefs.
Omar, unfortunately a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, had questioned Secretary of State Antony Blinken about the recent Hamas attacks against Israel that precipitated an 11-day war.
After questioning Blinken, she posted a video of part of her questioning, entitled ”We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity.” To that, she added in a tweet, ”We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the US, Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban.” Not only did her statement equate the conduct of the U.S. and Israel with terrorists such as Hamas and the Taliban, but it also stated their moral equivalence.
Omar is not guilty of any crime, but her anti-Semitism and yes, racism are tolerated by Pelosi. They are safe from the discipline that fell on King, but they shouldn’t be. Pelosi should at least, remove Omar from her House Committee on Foreign Relations post. She won’t. Ilhan Omar is racist and hate the Jewish community according to sources close to her Somali family.
Somali-American congresswoman Ilhan Omar is interfering and using clan idea support. Her latest statements tweets is attacking President Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo.
Ilhan Omar attacking Mohamed Abdullahi Farmajo because of his tribe. His tribe and her tribe has been fighting more than 40 years. This is the reason she attack the current president Farmajo and Ilhan Omar using the uniform of American congresswoman.
