Rep. Ilhan Omar is taking flak from all sides: now she’s even offended Hamas.
The terror group on Saturday condemned the Minnesota Democrat’s explosive tweet that compared the US and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban — drawing the ire of both Democrats and Republicans this week.
Omar “equated between the victim and the executioner,” Basem Naim of Hamas’ International Relations Office complained in a statement that took issue with her Monday post on Twitter.
“it is unacceptable to make such an unfair comparison, which contradicts with basic norms of justice and international law,” Naim continued in a missive first reported by the Jerusalem Post.
But Naim also took pains to praise Omar, saying that “Hamas highly appreciates” her “support of … the just rights of the Palestinian people.”
Omar on Monday pointed to “unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban” in a tweet that denounced them all equally for “crimes against humanity.”
The comment set off an internal war among Democrats. A dozen Jewish House members blasted Omar on Wednesday, saying that comparing the US and Israel to terror groups was “as offensive as it is misguided.”
Omar hit back in an incendiary Twitter tirade Thursday that accused her fellow Dems of “harassment” and of being “Islamophobic.” Her allies, including fellow members of “The Squad,” leaped to her defense.

Can we put them in a room and let them sort it out?
If the FBI isn’t surveiling Omar, like they did candidate Trump, then you know where their sympathy lies.
5.56mm
Have they issued a fatwa yet?
Saw the headline...thought it was satire.
How did this idiot get elected again???
Yup, I was sure it was Babylon Bee
Me too, figured this was the stuff from Babylon Bee or The Onion.
Because she's representative of her constituency. She was elected from a district that itself is heavily populated by so called "refugees" from Somalia. They elected her because she distills their same resentments and hatreds.
Now we know why her native country is a hellscape of poverty, starvation, militias and terrorism.
🤣Irony is ironic!!!
In history, Africa was a powerful continent 1500 years until Islam infected it, and it’s never recovered
Same way as Al Franken.
I think that all the time. I have been right once. Leftists are almost satire-proof.
TRUE!! That would make a great tagline...
LOL.
