Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) wrongly referred to Gaza as occupied in a tweet supporting Palestinian terrorists against Israel on Sunday, as hundreds of rockets were fired at Israeli civilian population centers, killing four Israelis.
Omar, who supports the anti-Israel boycott, divestment, sanctions (BDS) movement, and who has a long history of antisemitic rhetoric relating to the issue, weighed in on the conflict Sunday, calling it a cycle of violence but clearly blaming Israel:
....
The protesters to which Omar refers were shot at because they were trying to breach the border fence and were using incendiary devices, among other weapons. In the past, such protests were organized by the Hamas terror organization which violently suppresses protests against its own brutal regime in Gaza, according to the UN.
Among Omars many dubious claims in a single tweet, one false claim stands out: namely, that Gaza faces a status quo of occupation. In 2005, Israel unilaterally removed every Israeli soldier and civilian from Gaza, ending any possible occupation of the territory against much domestic political opposition within Israel itself. The hope was that Palestinians would use the withdrawal as an opportunity to invest in Gazas economy and work towards peace.

“Seriously, WTF Minnesota?”
Her district is scantly populated by patriotic born in the USA Americans.
Yes, I agree that Gaza is ‘occupied’...
...occupied by Arab mohamedans who call themselves ‘Palestinians’.
Kick ‘em all out, send ‘em back to Jordan and Syria, where their families came from.
Gaza is occupied in a way. Its just not the Israelis doing it. Control was ceded back to Egypt years ago.
They built a wall around it on the Egyptian side of the border.
So theres that.

When do these people move out of the seventh century? Representative Omar theres something called the Internet where you can look things up. Maybe in 15 or 20 years you and your people in Minnesota will discover this. She cant stop running your mouth and the media cant stop reporting on her. This woman is tiresome. My heart goes out to the Israelis
When do these people move out of the seventh century?
Never. The words of the murderous, syphilitic, caravan reading pedophile they worship forbid it.

Well with what happened with Gazainians shooting those rockets off and Israel totally PO’d, it will be.
Ilhan Omar was not wrong at all. The squatters that sit on the land in Gaza are poor desolate homeless people whose parents and grandparents were kicked out of the land of their nativity (Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan) because they were too violent or revolutionary for even other Muslims. They have nursed their grievances for the better part of a century or more, and only that bilious nature prevents them from ever becoming good citizens of ANYWHERE.
Move them all to Antarctica, where they may start over clean. And with nobody but the penguins to contest them for the land.
It’s quite clear she meant the entirety of Israel being occupied by those ‘zionists’ thus depriving those poor palestinians from peaceful existence.
That was no mistake. “The Occupation” is their term for the existence of Israel.
Are you with US or against US?
Ilhan Omar is definitely against US.
Its like having people from outer space arrive and you realize that they are 10 times stupider than you are. But you have to tolerate them because you know they are from outer space. The only thing we can hope is if representative Omar has children and she gives them all iPhones. Once her children have iPhones they will even stop listening to her.
not the brightest bulb on the porch
Guys, this is done on purpose.
For those that only ‘follow’ certain voices - this is their news. So Omar wins
For others that are progressive, corrections to a ‘islamic woman’ proves ‘racism’, and Omar/progressives win.
I know that we think that we are winning in pointing out the severe errors - but not really
Poor woman is dumb as a stump and is an embarrassment to American Muslims.
That’s not fair to the penguins; move them all to Bikini Atoll.
Free land, tropical paradise.
We used to kill terrorists. Now we elect them to congress.
We need to give Congress people an IQ test on American History...and we need to give voters a test on economics, American History, the Presidency and math before they can vote...
She is right. Gaza is occupied — by Hamas! As soon as these terrorists are removed, the Gazans will rejoice.
