Ilhan Omar, who once called Israel an “apartheid regime,” but who more recently came out against the boycott Israel movement, handily won the Democratic nomination in a Minneapolis-area congressional District.
Omar, a Somali-born community activist and representative in the State House, is favored to win in November in the 5th District now held by Keith Ellison, who won the DFL primary for state attorney general. DFL is the state’s Democratic Party.
There were primaries Tuesday in four states: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Connecticut and Vermont.
Omar’s tweets about Israel have earned her notoriety in the pro-Israel community. In 2012, she said that Israel had “hypnotized the world” to ignore its “evil doings.” Defending that tweet earlier this year, she said on the same platform that calling attention to the “Israeli Apartheid regime” was not anti-Semitic.
Speaking last week at a candidates’ forum at the Beth El synagogue she affirmed her belief in Israel’s right to exist and she said she opposed the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement targeting Israel.
“It is going to be important for us to recognize Israel’s place in the Middle East and the Jewish people’s rightful place within that region,” she said, according to a report by a local news site, TC Jewfolk.
“I believe right now with the BDS movement, it’s not helpful in getting that two-state solution,” said Omar, who had been endorsed by the DFL. “I think the particular purpose for [BDS] is to make sure that there is pressure, and I think that pressure really is counteractive. Because in order for us to have a process of getting to a two-state solution, people have to be willing to come to the table and have a conversation about how that is going to be possible...”

The advance of Islam in the West is God’s judgment on our wimpy Christianity. Only prayers and fasting and major shape-up of our conduct can fight this.
Amen. Preach it, CondoleezzaProtege!
At least Alexandria Ocasio Cortez’s guy in Michigan lost. That was a relief!
You are so correct.
A moderate muslim.
The trend is clear. More and more muslim politicians go mainstream in North America.
After 2 terms of Obama, I’m no longer surprised by the ongoing stupidity of liberals.
Strip them of American citizenship and deport them.
Clearly all these non citizen leaders lead us to destruction.
Minnesota’s 5th Congressional district has the YOUNGEST voters in the state, evidently:
Too many of these anti-christian politicians making good. I believe we are over the cliff and on the fast free fall with the hard hit coming.
Time to weed America's garden
Antisemitism was popular among national socialists and soviet socialists. Of course it works for today’s socialists too. They need an enemy, and the Jews have always been convenient scapegoats for those who support evil.
Youngest voters in the state - with skulls full of mush.
Minneschmendricks.
/eyeroll
has she ever been to the segregated city of Mecca that punishes all non-muslims with DEATH?
Especially if the major shape-up of our conduct includes deporting all so-called "refugees" who haven't yet gained citizenship and outright revoking the citizenship of all Moslems who have any ties to jihadi groups. And of course stopping all future Moslem immigration. Not "temporarily, until we can figure out what's going on." Permanently.
ISLAM: to submit
MUSLIMS: have submitted.
Muslim 3-Step Program:
* Religious - Immigrate to a country.
* Political - Increase in number.
* Militant - Eliminate those who oppose them.
Take time to listen to this short C-SPAN book review by American Historian by WILLIAM FEDERER on Islam. Pass the link to others.
During the Q & A a student asked why legislators are so weak when it comes to condemning Islamic aggression.
FEDERER responded, “3 Things.”
1. They are ignorant about the history of Islam.
2. They are afraid of Islam aggression.
3. They are on the take.
Look up "taqiyya".
“...Minneapolis...” - nuff said. It has a heavy Muslim population. Ever fly into the Minneapolis airport? It seems most all the airport employees are Muslim.
