Ilhan Omar proposes resolution supporting boycott of Israel

US Rep. Ilhan Omar proposed a resolution this week supporting the right to boycott Israel, likening the boycott of the Jewish state to boycotts of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

Omar’s resolution seeks to push back against US laws banning the boycott of Israel and affirms the right of Americans to organize boycotts of foreign countries if they wish.

While the resolution doesn’t explicitly name Israel or the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, she told media outlets that the resolution concerns the Jewish state.

“We are introducing a resolution … to really speak about the American values that support and believe in our ability to exercise our First Amendment rights in regard to boycotting,” Omar (D-Minn.) told Al-Monitor.

“And it is an opportunity for us to explain why it is we support a nonviolent movement, which is the BDS movement,” she added.

The resolution attracted some Republican detractors, with Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) slamming Omar for introducing it, saying she brought “her hateful twist” by propping up the BDS movement.

“Israel is our best ally in the Mid East; a beacon of hope, freedom & liberty, surrounded by existential threats,” Zeldin wrote in a tweet.

“Shame on Rep Omar for bringing her hateful twist on that reality to House Foreign today, propping up the BDS movement & blaming Israel for all of its challenges.”

A bit of advice, currently I wouldn’t be defending Ilhan Omar who said this about the Jewish people of Israel. pic.twitter.com/Tttbw8jpWI— Tesh (@TeshPunja) July 16, 2019

Freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

Don’t worry, Omar, your “allah” (Satan) will bring his Antichrist to attempt a Final Solution on Israel.

We’d tell you how it ends but we don’t want to spoil your surprise.

Sad part is she’ll have too many Jewish supporters here.

But probably not for long as her hate shows through more and more

The article on this thread (to a David Steinberg expose on Ilhan “Omar”): http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3764937/posts, makes a very strong case that Ilhan herself gained citizenship fraudulently.

The gist is that she is not actually a member of the Omar family (the ones who got refugee status). She was born in the Esmi family. The Omars allowed (committed fraud) for three members of the Esmi family (Ilhan, her father, and one of her sisters) to pose as members of the Omar family, to get US citizenship as well.

Ilhan later committed multiple frauds, to get her brother (one of the other three members of her biological nuclear Esmi family, who had received UK citizenship), to get US citizenship.

This type of fraud was rampant among Somali immigrants at the time. 87% of those Somalis then claiming familial relation as their basis for application, who were then genetically tested, were shown to be frauds. From 2008-2012, that basis for application was suspended for Somalis, because of the overwhelming fraud.

Somewhere in the Ninth Level of Hell, Adolph Hitler rests on his coal shovel, looks up at the earth hearing the words of this woman and smiles.
