[NYPOST] Rep. Ilhan Omar...Somali-
AmericanDem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
elicited outrage Monday with a public entreaty for the US to shift from giving Israel "unconditional weapons sales and military aid" to diplomacy.
Omar (D-Minn.) — a member of the so-called "Squad" — also harped on the plight of the Paleostinians and suggested that Israel’s retaliation against terrorist group Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...might be a "war crime."
"The Israeli Defense Minister has called Paleostinians ’human animals’ and promised to cut off all electricity, all food, and all fuel to civilians in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
," Omar wrote in a lengthy threat on X, formerly Twitter.
"This is collective punishment, a war crime, and the U.S. should oppose any violations of international law if we truly support a rules-based international order," she continued.
The 41-year-old congresswoman who’s long been a vocal critic of Israel’s settlement policies and defender of the Paleostinians, further argued, "the solution to this horror, as ever, is a negotiated peace."
"Instead of continuing unconditional weapons sales and military aid to Israel, I urge the United States at long last to use its diplomatic might to push for peace," she stressed.
Her remarks struck a nerve among detractors who ripped her call for peace just after the deadly attack on Israel that has killed well over 1,000.
"Israel was just brutally attacked by terrorists, funded by Iran, and you want to cut off funding and military aid and equipment," Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) fired back.
"You are out of your mind and unfit to serve in the House of Representatives. This is why you were removed from the Foreign Affairs committee."
Omar was booted from the House Foreign Affairs Committee earlier this year following the GOP takeover of the lower chamber.
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy
...the GOP house majority leader. His primary accomplishment to date has been first to hold on to power against a conservative revolt and then to order an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden’s involvement in his son Hunter’s business deals. At that point he lost his job when he was run over by loose cannon Matt Gaetz. This was what's known in the intelligence profession as
(R-Calif.) cited her past comments on Israel as justification.
"Ilhan Omar and the squad using the days after Israel faced the largest terror attack in its history and the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust to call for cutting off military aid to those who were attacked," an account named AG said.
"Ilhan calls for the U.S. to abandon Israel as Hamas parades rape victims survivors throught the streets of Gaza. May God have mercy on your soul," Mediate writer Isaac Schorr chimed in.
"This is the literal definition of negotiating with terrorists," Gates McGavick, Legal Communications Director at Republican National Committee, said.
Omar became the first female Moslem elected to the House of Representatives alongside Rep. Rashida Tlaib
...the first ever Paleostinian-
Americanever sworn into Congress in 2019. She is a member of The Squad and consistently votes against the U.S. national interest. SDhe's a Dem, naturally, from a safe district you wouldn't want to live in (Michigan's 12th congressional district). She wants the country to be kinda like Gaza only without any Jews for neighbors...
(D-Mich.) in 2019.
Tlaib, the first Paleostinian member of the lower chamber, described Israel’s policies toward the Paleostinians as an "apartheid system" on Sunday while emphasizing that she grieves both the "Paleostinian and Israeli lives lost."
"The path to that future must include lifting the blockade, ending the occupation, and dismantling the apartheid system that creates the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance," Tlaib said.
In contrast to Tlaib, Omar quickly denounced Hamas’ deadly assault the Jewish State that began Saturday.
"I condemn the horrific acts we are seeing unfold today in Israel against children, women, the elderly, and the unarmed people who are being slaughtered and taken hostage by Hamas," Omar said at the time.
Omar on Monday also underscored that residents of Gaza overwhelmingly live in acute poverty and are mostly comprised of children.
