Rep. Ilhan Omar Claims Jewish Colleagues ‘Haven’t Been Partners in Justice’
New York Post ^ | June 29, 2021 | Samuel Chamberlain

Posted on 06/30/2021 4:57:50 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) lashed out at her Jewish House Democratic colleagues during a CNN interview Tuesday, claiming that they “haven’t been partners in justice.”

During Omar’s appearance on “The Lead,” host Jake Tapper cited some of the congresswoman’s statements that have led to accusations that she is anti-Semitic. Tapper specifically cited a February 2019 tweet that stated the alliance between the US and Israel is “all about the Benjamins” and a 2012 message in which she claimed that Israel “has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel”.

“Do you understand why some of your fellow House Democrats, especially Jews, find that language anti-Semitic?” Tapper asked.

Deuteronomy. 16:20: Tzedk, tzedek, tirdof.

JUSTICE, JUSTICE SHALL YOU PURSUE

WHAT IS JEWISH ABOUT SOCIAL JUSTICE WORK?
TORAH BLESSING
EXAMINING THE SOURCES OF OUR OBLIGATIONS:
Our textual tradition is replete with texts that urge us to seek justice, and to care for those in
our communities who are vulnerable. As you read the following excerpts, consider which texts
most closely reflect your own sense of why you are obligated to engage in social justice work:

(a) Justice, justice you shall pursue, that you may thrive and occupy the land that Adonai
your God is giving you.
— Deuteronomy 16:20
(b) You shall not subvert the rights of the stranger or the fatherless. You shall not take a
widow’s garment in pawn. Remember that you were a slave in Egypt and that Adonai
your God redeemed you from there; therefore do I enjoin you to observe this
commandment.
— Deuteronomy 24:17-18
(c) Is such the fast I desire – a day for men to starve their bodies? Is it bowing the head like
a bulrush and lying in sackcloth and ashes? Do you call that a fast – a day when Adonai is
favorable? No, this is the fast I desire: To unlock fetters of wickedness, and untie the
cords of lawlessness; to let the oppressed go free; to break off every yoke. It is to share
your bread with the hungry, and to take the wretched poor into your home. When you
see the naked, clothe him, and not ignore your own kin.
— Isaiah 58:5-7
(d) If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am only for myself, what am I? And if
not now, when? — Mishna, Pirkei Avot 1:13
(e) [A]nyone who sees a person oppressing an orphan or widow and does not come to their
aid, they will also be considered oppressors. — ibn Ezra
(f) “‘Give to the poor person readily and have no regrets when you do so, for in return
Adonai your God will bless you in all your efforts and in all your undertakings.’
(Deuteronomy 15:10) It is a wheel that turns in the world. Maybe you think in your
heart that you won’t come to this fate [poverty]. You might not, but your child or your
grandchild might. Therefore, a person should do good things for others whenever he
can, in order that others will do good things for him if he or his children need.
—Midrash Aggadah on Deuteronomy 15:10

Her Jewish Democrat colleagues haven’t been “partners in justice,” because they haven’t yet fulfilled her wish of them killing themselves.

muslims don’t have a clue what justice is.

They work on retaliation, not justice.

The left will turn in Muslims when they are no longer of use. Then they will be on our side.

Misappropriation of Torah Law for political ends is endemic to Reform Judaism. Reform Halacha has departed from the plain meaning of the Torah long ago. If it is proper to excise these verses and foist them on society by the force of Law, then all the people in said society ought to be accorded the Torah Covenant privileges enjoyed by any Jew.

I’ll bet that AOC’s Jewish constituency is about 1 leftist who belonged to the Communist Party USA. Her support is largely leftist white radicals/liberals and ignorant Hispanics esp. from Puerto Rico. The rest of the constituency either doesn’t vote, doesn’t give a damn who represents them, or is too drunk to care about anything (I know there are decent Puerto Ricans and other Hispanics, blacks, whites etc in her district but they allowed her to be elected to Congress. That makes them complicit in this traitor being a congresswoman.

Yes, you are correct. Still, the pursuit of making the world better throuhg God’s justice is a Jewish precept. God commands that it be done “under the regency of the almighty,” - which means by following the laws and precepts he gave to the Israelites in the Torah via Moses on Mt. Sinai. You are right that the precepts are not the declaration du jour of the Democrat Party.
