The last time Rep. Ilhan Omar made comments viewed as anti-Semitic, House Democratic leaders pressured her to apologize. This time, they’ve drafted a resolution condemning anti-Semitism that fails to mention her by name.
For Sarah Stern, founder and president of the Endowment for Middle East Peace, that’s not enough. She and other Jewish leaders are standing by their call for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to remove the first-term Minnesota Democrat from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
“I appreciate this, and it’s wonderful that there is a condemnation of anti-Semitism in general,” Ms. Stern said. “But a person specifically who has exhibited time and time again classic anti-Semitic traits and classic biases against Israel should not have access to the sensitive and classified work of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.”
Neil Boylan Strauss, Republican Jewish Coalition spokesman, said the Democratic leadership’s plan to handle the latest anti-Semitism uproar with a resolution “will accomplish nothing and is wholly inadequate.”
“Speaker Pelosi didn’t truly punish Omar after her anti-Semitic statements last month and Omar seems to have taken that as an invitation to further spread her anti-Jewish hate,” Mr. Strauss said. “Omar must be removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.”
Tweeted the Jewish Policy Center: “This resolution means nothing as long as Omar remains on the Foreign Affairs Committee.”
Since it’s in response to @IlhanMN ‘s anti-Semitic remarks it ought to include her by name. https://t.co/2aK5EcxQRD
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) March 5, 2019 a) It wasn’t “Israel comments” that got her in trouble. It was multiple anti-Semitic tropes about JEWS “hypnotizing,” “Benjamins,” and “dual loyalty.” b) This resolution means nothing as long as Omar remains on the Foreign Affairs Committee. https://t.co/jgxPE8p4l0

The resolution is meaningless because it does not name her.
Agree!
And while they’re at it, remove Jerry Nadler from his committee chairmanship!
Give her a break. She is just doing what all Muslims do when they invade...I mean migrate. Divide and conquer.
She’ll promise not to be so public about her anti-Semitism and only openly hate them behind closed doors.
Get her out of the USA. Along with her husband/her brother/her husband/her brother.
Reminded me of the movie Chinatown.
How about they remove her from Congress?

Bump!
Let’s wrap this Freepathon up, Folks!

Brosband.
I got em both registered. Looking for a t-shirt printer.
Removing this anti- American novice from committee is necessary urgently. Yes. But where’s the motion to expel? She definitely should not be permitted to remain in our congress!
Good to see conservative Jewish groups on the attack.
I miss the good ol days when paliscum were having all those suicides....
Are these the same Jews who vilify Don Trump even though he’s done more for the State of Israel then any President since Nixon?
Omar is their creation. The anti-American Rat party is entirely their creation. They need to live with what they’ve done. They were the ones who pried open the immigration doors of our country and forced us by fiat and lies to accept the tidal wave of hostile aliens who live among us now.
Condemning this dimwitted desert rat is like condemning wolves for eating sheep. Only fools would let them in the door and think they could be “friends” by giving them privileges.

Ilhan Omar Endorsed Somalia’s New President;
Four Days Later, Omar’s Brother-in-Law Had a Powerful Job in His Administration
BY DAVID STEINBERG JANUARY 24, 2019, PJ Media.com
Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MINN) became the first Somali-American legislator in United States’ history when Minnesota’s House District 60B elected her on November 8, 2016. The distinction won Omar immediate fame and influence in Somalia, which was entering the final stretch of a critical presidential election of its own.
According to prominent federal security clearance defense attorney Sean Bigley (read below), Omar's documented actions in the weeks that followed would almost certainly prevent any applicant with such a background from obtaining or keeping a U.S. security clearance.
Ilhan Omar is now a U.S. congresswoman, however. Elected federal officials are exempted from the arduous security clearance process; they hold de facto clearances once sworn in to office. Further, Omar will likely be privy to a significant amount of classified national security information this term. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has granted Omar's request for a seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
------------------------------
“Corruption … affects virtually every aspect of the Somali society: from public officials’ misuse of public goods for private gain and the solicitation of bribes in exchange for basic services to the clan-based patronage networks used to obtain employment and political appointments.” -- Transparency International, 2018 The common hyperbole for describing government corruption -- “rampant,” or “endemic” -- does not help adequately illustrate Somalia’s recent administrations.
“As bad as it gets” does the job, literally: Transparency International, the massive NGO dedicated to exposing public-sector corruption, has placed Somalia dead-last among all nations on Earth in its annual “Corruption Perceptions Index” -- for 11 consecutive years. Somalia has occasionally managed to tie, though never outrank, North Korea.
Any significant involvement by a U.S. citizen in Somalia's election process would likely raise eyebrows at America's intelligence agencies.
On December 20, 2016, just a few weeks after her election to Minnesota's state legislature, Ilhan Omar was in Mogadishu with then-President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, a favorite for re-election. He reportedly invited her to appear with him prior to the election taking place.
Omar likely met at least one other Somali presidential candidate on her trip. According to a speech by her soon-to-be husband Ahmed Hirsi, Ilhan had just flown from Nairobi to Mogadishu on a plane with former Somali Prime Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, known as “Farmaajo” (“Cheese”).
Farmaajo -- a U.S. citizen who, inconceivably, had boarded that plane as a Buffalo, NY, cubicle employee of the New York Department of Transportation -- was the eventual surprise winner of Somalia’s presidency on February 8, 2017.
The New York Times deemed Farmaajo’s bribe-fueled win “one of the most fraudulent political events in Somalia’s history.” In the run-up, “some Parliament seats had gone for more than $1 million each”:
The entire process has been so bad, several analysts said, that the Shabab militant group, one of the deadliest Islamist organizations in the world, isn’t even trying to derail the vote because the corruption free-for-all almost makes the militants look upstanding by comparison.
All intelligence this woman receives is probably going straight to Hezbollah, Al Qaida and Hamas.
This woman is loyal to Islam and nothing else.
Putting her on the intelligence committee is proof that Pelosi is nuts.
American, Democrat Party, Jews...you is...being had. Your darling beloved Democrats have heaved you over the side. It’s the Mussie, Muslims and that nutcase, hate America, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that rules and holds the heart of the current Democrat Party. American Jews & the State of Israel....you are no longer the heartthrob of the Democrat Party.
It really is funny because you Democrats have two Jewish Congressmen, Schiff & Nadler falling all over themselves to bring POTUS, Trump down....while Trump is the sole protector & savior of Israel and American Jews. Jewish, Democrat, Gents, read your history books and you might learn something interesting as well as protective.
No doubt in my mind that is precisely correct!
I guess the question is: is Omar merely representing her constituency?
Agreed...She and Pelosi are just plain evil.
