Why Ilhan Omar won’t pay for peddling bigotry
NY Post ^ | 11 Feb 2019 | Jonathan Tobin

Ilhan Omar can’t seem to help herself when it comes to anti-Semitism. The question is: What are leading Democrats and Never Trumpers, who’ve repeatedly accused the White House of empowering anti-Semitism, prepared to do about the congresswoman from Minnesota?

Omar tried to wiggle out of the implications of her earlier tweet about ­Israel “hypnotizing” the world by claiming ignorance about its meaning. She said she didn’t know she was tapping into an anti-Semitic trope when she smeared Israelis defending themselves against Hamas terrorists.

But she dug herself in deeper this weekend with tweets in which she ­asserted that the only reason why members of Congress support the Jewish state is “the Benjamins” — that is, money — offered by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the pro-Israel lobby.

The claim that Jews use wealth to get their way is another libel that is straight out of “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” the classic anti-Semitic hoax that has ­migrated from czarist Russia to the Muslim fever swamps.

It’s also a deliberate misreading of reality. The overwhelming ­majority of members of Congress support Israel because the overwhelming majority of Americans agree. But to Israel haters, it’s all a vast plot cooked up by dark, conspiratorial Jewish forces.

She should take her hijab-wearing Jew-hating self back to Somalia.

And while The Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin cheered Pelosi’s swift response to Omar, days earlier she had claimed that, “in the Democratic Party, unlike the Republican Party, racism gets no sanctuary. The Democratic Party of 2019 simply will not abide by a white governor’s racist play-acting,” referring to Virgina Gov. Ralph Northam’s blackface scandal.

Really? How has that worked so far?!

She’s got the mother of all race cards. The Caucasian wing of the Democrat Party wouldn’t dare punish her for her stupidity, hate and ignorance.

There is no power on earth that can get through the Quadruple Shield.

She has absolutely NO business being in the Peoples’ house. She’s a post turtle...and hateful one at that.

If she left, there are thousands more to take her place.

She is a symptom. The disease was the Bushes, Toon & Zero importing millions of the wrong people.

Too be fair I’m sure politicians only “support” anything because they are getting money to do so.

Simple: she’s not just female, but Moslem and even black.

All that trumps just being Jew.

It’s Islamophobic to criticize muslims for wanting to kill all Jews and infidels.

It’s their religion.
It’s in their book.

Who in their right mind doesn’t know that to import Islam is to beget Islam.

The anti-Semites in Nazi Germany killed Jews directly. The anti-Semites of today’s Democratic party support Palestinians in their attempt to kill Jews.

Both share the same objective — to kill Jews. This objective should not be acceptable in the U.S. Congress.

It looks like it’s OK for these women to wear nose rings, makeup, nail polish as long as they keep their heads covered and for what purpose? Others say there is no such admonition about covering their heads in their “book”...It’s supposed to be to keep them from “enticing” men to find them attractive. I didn’t know HAIR could do that to men. Any man looking at the long, straggly hair on women today wouldn’t be at all enticed in any way...Sure wish he’d given an order that they weren’t supposed to open their mouths!

I would swear that I saw a picture of her just the other day with the nose ring in the opposite nostril.

She serves Allah and the interests of Somali Muslims better in Washington DC than she could in Mogadishu.

The real fault lies with the Americans that imported her over here thinking it would be any different.
