REP. OMAR DEFENDS TWEET CLAIMING ‘ISRAEL HAS HYPNOTIZED THE WORLD,’ SAYS IT’S NOT ABOUT RELIGION
the Daily Caller ^ | 01/16/2019 | Mike Brest

Posted on 01/17/2019 12:43:07 AM PST by granada

Rep. Ilhan Omar defended a 2012 tweet in which she invoked Allah to expose Israel’s “evil doings” during an interview with Amanpour & Company on Tuesday night.

The controversial tweet, which is still online, reads, “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. #Gaza #Palestine #Israel.”

“Can I just move on to something that’s generally a rite of passage for politicians in the United States, and that is to sort of profess sort of fealty — or pay homage to AIPAC, the pro-Israel PAC that is very, very prominent,” Amanpour began. “Should Jewish Americans be worried about Congresswoman Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib because of the BDS Movement, because of one of the tweets you made a long time ago.”

She continued, “You are a part of a new wave of Democrats not afraid to be critical of the government of Israel. And during the 2012 military offensive in Gaza, you tweeted ‘Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.’ How do you put that into context now and what do you say to American Jews.”

“So, I remember when that was happening watching tv and really feeling as if no other life was being impacted in this war. And that really — those unfortunate words were the only words I could think about expressing at that moment,” Omar responded. “And what is really important to me is that people recognize that there is a difference between criticizing a military action by a government that has exercised really oppressive policies and being offensive or attacking to particular people of faith.”

Hijabi Muslimah full of hate can just run her mouth.

In the land of the “Great Satan” the clipped Somali thinks too many infidels own too many guns.

Mohammedans really think they own us now. Allahu Snackbar!!

These hate-filled, low IQ Muslim women that somehow got elected are an anomaly and won’t last.

The US Constitution is wholly incompatible with the garbage these angry leftists are trying to sell.

Can’t wait for the anti-LGBT tweets. Coming soon.....

I think Israel has been a lot more long-suffering than I would have been with the Arab leadership on the West Bank and in Gaza.

The Arabs got their land at the same time Israel did in 1948.

Look what Israel did with it’s land.

Look what the Arabs did with theirs.

There’s no question that Israel applied itself, and developed a pretty decent nation.

There’s also no question that the Arabs refused to develop their own nation, and opted to try to destroy Israel instead.

The Arabs can point to 1948 and whine all they like, but the fact is these two factions could not live together in peace. An attempt was made to come to a decent settlement.

Israel is not constantly trying to destroy the Arabs on the West Bank and in Gaza. It has Arabs living in peace inside Israel.

Does anyone think Israeli citizens could live side by side with the Arabs and survive on the West Bank or in Gaza?

The idea Israel is the aggressor here, is not supportable > IMO.

In case this isn’t obvious:

“Omar is Muslim and belongs to the Duduble clan from Northeastern Somalia.”

Notice how the media whore Amanpour tries to dismiss something Little Miss Jihad said several years ago, but if a Republican said something that was “off”, she’d go off on a media rant binge of biblical proportions.

She has always been against America, Israel and freedom, while posing as an unbiased journalist. That’s like a German saying “I was only a member of the Nazi Party, but not a member of the SS or Gestapo”.

First the false peace deal.

And then shall be Great Tribulation.

While some think Ezekiel 38 is also the big one, I think it could take place before all that.

I suppose the world is going to find out.

Hold on to your hats, friends.

Time for her to resign. It’s obvious her principals are similar to that of the KKK, just a different target. Democrats though are used to voting for people with such ideas though.

I don’t think it’s about religion, either.
It’s about wiping Israel off the planet.

Congressman Steve King (R-IA) gets kicked off of committees by the GOP for misrepresented comments yet Democrats do nothing about about this bigotry.

Anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism is rampant in the Demonrat party. While this bull$hit with Rep. King in Iowa is a non-story, these evil Mohammadan Sharia slaves Tlaib and Omar are the ones who should be forcefully removed from office as a threat to national security and dangerous subversives.

We need to take a page from the Democrats playbook:

“Thank Allah for Rep. Ilhan Omar who is telling the world the truth about the Jews and Israel world domination. Rise up and resist the Hebrew heel”.

Take something she says and add a little swerve to it.

Mohammedans, AOC, Kennedys, etc.

Here’s my question: Who’s worse: Them or the sub 65 IQ types that vote for them?

“Co-opting popular figures from the other side is politically useful, which is I why I suppose why we keep having to deal with this JFK/MLK love BS.”

See above. Sub 65 IQs.

p.s. SOTU. Love the idea of the POTUS giving it at a public rally.

"...The US Constitution is wholly incompatible with the garbage these angry leftists are trying to sell..."

She serves her master the Quran and a false god. She lives تقیة‎ taqiyyah‎. The Constitution is completely at odds with her core belief system and ideology.
