Washington (CNN)Freshman Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota is defending her controversial views on Israel as they come under scrutiny in Washington, telling CNN that "it's not surprising" her positions are generating attention and that she finds it "exciting" to be sparking debate. "It's not surprising. I think it is actually exciting because we are finally able to have conversations that we weren't really willing to," Omar told CNN on Tuesday. "It is really important for us to get a different lens about what peace in that region could look like and the kind of difficult conversations we need to have about allies." Omar along with Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, the first two Muslim women to serve in Congress, are indeed changing the conversation on Capitol Hill over the United States' long-standing relationship with Israel by speaking out critically against the Israeli government over its treatment of Palestinians. As they challenge the political status quo over Israel in Washington, Omar and Tlaib are facing intense scrutiny and criticism, in particular from Republicans eager to exploit divisions in the Democratic Party.
Tlaib and Omar have also broken the mold on Capitol Hill by supporting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. The movement is a non-violent activist campaign that aims to put economic and political pressure on Israel over its actions toward Palestinians, including calling for an end to Israeli occupation of the West Bank. Omar told CNN that Israel should be held accountable for living up to "the same values that we push for" in the United States as one of its allies.

Most of what I read the "debate" isn't about US policy toward Israel, but about her antisemitism, and what to do with her. Force her to resign, throw her off the foreign relations committee, things like that.
The Democrats are nothing but socialists and Jew haters. It looks like World War II was all for nothing.
without a conviction how do you “force” a member of congress to resign.
You can’t, even with a conviction. Pressure would have been the proper word. You could tweet, like the President. I doubt anything would come of that. Nancy could pull her from the foreign relations committee, but not much else. She’s probably in a pretty safe seat from the perspective of a primary challenge.
Hating Whites and willing to prove it...
Hating Jews, and back those who also hate them...
The Democrats haven’t changed. They’re still racists.
They used to have racist views of Blacks, and now they have them for White and Jews. (think they always hated the Jews)
Spew hate and get away with it. Only if you are a Muslim and a Democrat.

outlaw islam.
everything about Islam is antithetical to the foundations of Western Christian man, his civilization, progress and his achievements.
Furthermore, their Koran dictates the global caliphate by supplanting the hosts constitution with Islam. They are an invasive , occupying enemy force.
America at the height of WW2?
Islam is slow and patient.... they are the first of a string until we fix the system and recognize the facts for what they are. Islam is not a religion. It is a pirates political system masquerading as a “religion”
Obama (king of Taqiya) was their greatest asset in their assault on Western Man by attacking the hub,America.
Islam needs to be recognized for what it is. To sugar coat it and avoid it will be our death.
....Ilhan Omar says it’s ‘exciting’ her controversial views on Israel are sparking HATE....
There! Fixed it!!!!
World War II was NOT all for nothing!!!! And its consequences WILL catch up with the evil Towel-head Ilhan Omar!!!!
(Yes, I know that “towel-head” is a nasty, derogatory term. But look at Ilhan Omar! She literally IS a towel-head!)
The demonrats would be so easy to beat if Republicans would just stick together better.
It’s a disgrace to see that grinning moslem ass wearing a headrag in the US Congress, evaluating our foreign policy. She has a history of cavorting with terrorists.
W Bush the moron, and Obama each brought in around 850k EACH of the moslem enemy after 9/11. Add in the ones that came illegally and the ones they’ve whelped and thats a cool 2 million they have imported since 9/11.
To give islam protection as a “religion” under freedom of speech is idiotic.
In WWII Japan was following a state religion of Shinto. Nazi Germany was deep into the occult and neopaganism. In WWII neither had protection here in America as first amendment speech.
It’s deranged to give the enemy religion such an exalted place.
Liberals consider the term “towel-head” more offensive than plowing a jumbo jet full of people into a skyscraper full of people. I’d certainly rather be hated than loved by them.
She stupidly responded to a tweet from President Trump defending the boys.
The towel-head Muslim wrote,
“-The boys were protesting a woman’s right to choose & yelled “it’s not rape if you enjoy it”
- They were taunting 5 Black men before they surrounded Phillips and led racist chants -
and that Sandmann’s family hired a right wing PR firm to write his non-apology.”
The towel-head later removed the offensive fabricated tweet after a lawyer said it had defamed the boys.
This is libel. Retract, or get sued,” Las Vegas attorney Robert Barnes tweeted.
Omar’s rape-related claim apparently was based on a Twitter video clip posted by lawyer and Playboy writer Amee Vanderpool, who later admitted she didn’t “know if this boy attends Covington.”
Not only does WWII seem all for nothing but 9/11 is now officially forgotten.
Not only does WWII seem all for nothing but 9/11 is now for all intents and purposes forgotten.
According to Democrats, we deserved 9/11. Obama’s own pastor of 20 years (who is also forgotten by Democrats) said our “chickens have come home to roost” in direct reference to it. He also said “God damn America”. Obama was probably right there in the audience with his big goofy smile.
