At a hearing of the House Education and Workforce Committee, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mn) sharply criticized University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Chancellor Gene Block for allowing pro-Israel counter protesters on their campus to publicly show a video of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israeli civilians.
"This one-sided, out-of-context view of beheaded babies, raped women and children, and slaughtered unarmed persons defamed the Muslims fighting to free Palestine from its Jewish oppressors," Omar asserted. "They made no effort to present Hamas' justification for the raid. The insinuation that targeting civilians is per se wrong overlooks the fact that Israeli military targets are too risky for Hamas to directly confront."
"On top of this, those unfamiliar with the Quran may be unaware that killing Jews is explicitly advocated," Omar said. "It is an obligation that every devout Muslim is expected to undertake. Yet, the video failed to acknowledge this. It made the Hamas soldiers out to be simply murderers without any justification for their actions and slandered the pro-Hamas demonstrators who are trying to stop the genocide Israel is perpetrating in Gaza."
In related news, it appears that the Biden Administration's attempt to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza's residents is being thwarted by Hamas. The $320 million floating pier it built is under constant attack from Hamas fighters. Most of the aid packages have been stolen by Hamas fighters. Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar called the pier and aid "an unwanted intrusion by infidels. They pose as alms givers, but their mission is to destroy the bond between Hamas and the people who elected us to lead the struggle against the Zionists. The people know that our fighters need the aid more than they do. Every Gaza civilian prefers to starve if this is what it takes to kill Jews and liberate Palestine."
Biden Campaign Co-Chair Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del) said sympathized with Sinwar, calling his position "understandable. We would prefer a hostage release and ceasefire deal, but since Hamas refuses to accept this, we are urging Israel to 'turn the other cheek' and end its war against Hamas. The President is confident that such a show of good faith will inspire Hamas to release any hostages that are still alive once they realize that continuing to hold them only benefits Trump's chances of seizing the presidency from President Biden in the upcoming election."

This is a religion? Why should such an ideology have the rights of a religion?

I must say, it is a bit difficult to put a good spin on evil.

Why don’t her and the disgusting America hating squad members stay in this country. They hate it. They hate whites. They hate Christians. They hate the founding. I have never heard any of them say anything good about the country.
Of course they love it though because the country allows them such power and money by destroying it.
