Ilhan Omar Accuses Pro-Israel Americans of ‘Allegiance to a Foreign Country’
Breitbart ^ | 28 Feb 2019 | Joel B. Pollack

Posted on 03/01/2019 5:31:05 AM PST by KC_Lion

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is being accused of antisemitism again after accusing pro-Israel Americans of “allegiance to a foreign country” at an event on Wednesday evening in Washington, DC.

Laura Kelly, reported at the Jewish Insider that Omar told an audience of supporters at the Busboys and Poets café: “I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is okay to push for allegiance to a foreign country,” meaning Israel.

....

The idea that Americans who support Israel owe “allegiance” to Israel, or are guilty of dual loyalty, is a familiar antisemitic theme — and has been roundly condemned as such in the past.

(Ironically, Omar once referred to Somalia as “our country” in blaming U.S. foreign policy for terrorism in 2013.)

Omar was seated at the event next to Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who made a similar comment earlier this year when she said that members of the U.S. Senate who supported a pro-Israel bill “forgot what country they represent.” Her remark drew complaints from Jewish organizations, including the nonpartisan American Jewish Committee.

At the café on Thursday, Omar also accused her Jewish colleagues of Islamophobia, saying that she feared they would interpret every criticism she and Tlaib made about Israel as antisemitism, “because we are Muslim.”

The Dem Party is toast. It is now, unapologetically, anti-American, radical Left, and Socialist.

That there is no penalty for dual citizenship, or no requirement that one who has US citizenship has to renounce citizenship to any other country, is allowing it to occur.

FWIW, I've never been a birther. My question (conveniently ignored by the puppetmasters) about Obama is if he was a dual citizen of Indonesia and the US.

Dual loyalties is a problem. I recall when the Pollard situation was active there were a lot of people calling for his release... though he was a convicted traitor. It baffled me. He doesn't get a pass for being a traitor just because he gave info to Israel.

That said, I'm far less concerned about Israeli dual loyalties considering Israel is one of the only counties on earth that consistently supports us in all things. They are one of the best allies we have. I'll take a 100 Pollards over 1 Omar. Omar is clearly not even practicing dual loyalty... she is 100% on the side of Muslim fanatics. She hates our country and has no business being allowed in congress much less be a citizen.

Before 1967, US citizenship was considered forfeited if one took citizenship in a foreign nation. Another case of the USSC changing traditional American policy, in Afroyim v. Rusk.

One estimate is at least 40 million Americans are dual citizens.

Why doesn't the MSM ask her where her allegiance is? Why doesn't the MSM ask her if she believes that it's her duty "to kill every infidel" who doesn't convert to Islam?

Actually, I'll tell you why: It's the same reason that not one person from the MSM over a period of eight years ever stood up in a press conference and asked Obama: "Mr. President, you are the first President in the history of this Republic to sequester virtually every record and document from your past. Why is that?" The MSM media has an agenda and it does not include finding out the truth about anything that matters to US.

It seems unfair that some people get to vote in two countries, while us little folk don’t get to help choose leaders of any other country. Maybe this is an issue that should’ve been brought up when our voting lists being corrupted became an issue.

Perhaps she is going to get hers taken off too. She is an enemy agent no doubt.

This woman belongs in Gitmo. That said, anyone running for and holding national office should renounce any foreign allegiances

They have that covered. Its called tacquiya.

I agree, but Rep. Omar would not agree that Palestine is not a country.

No anti-semitism lurking under that bag on her head, no siree Bob.

Come to think about it, maybe that’s a diaper on her head. To keep her shi*/brains from falling out. I think I’ve seen it wiggle and bulge before. Frightening.

The idea that Americans who support Israel owe “allegiance” to Israel, or are guilty of dual loyalty,

It is called rapport, which is a natural and normal part of human nature. People feel trust and desire to cooperate with, and feel comfortable with others who are similar to themselves.

and so

Israel deserves to be supported by Americans because:

-Israel is the only country in the region that is fit for a rational civilized individual to live in
-it shares the fundamental values of Western civilization including God-given natural rights and freedom
-it supports America and votes the same way that America does more than any other country.
-It is a modern productive nation of economic progress that creates many products that America values
-it does not hate America and does not wish to destroy it or turn it into a mohammedan or mexican hellhole.
-it does not wish to kill Americans
-it is not a terrorist nation

I’m a dual citizen via the citizenship of one of my parents. I just view it as a little perk that I’m lucky enough to have. Getting through passport control in Europe takes about 2 minutes as opposed to 30 minutes.
