U.S. 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.
Omars resolution seeks to push back against U.S. laws banning the boycott of Israel and affirms the right of Americans to organize boycotts of foreign countries if they so wish.
While the resolution doesnt explicitly name Israel or the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, she told media outlets that the resolution concerns the Jewish state.
"And it is an opportunity for us to explain why it is we support a nonviolent movement, which is the BDS movement." U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.
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 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 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.

I expect them to totally ignore this until the Attorney General takes action.
That’s their model. “Ignore things and they’ll go away.” It’s worked for them for the last 30 years as they’ve gotten bolder and bolder.
Hopefully, not this time...
Surely millions upon millions of Americans feel this way also, maybe worse.
Any one else fell like I do?
Audacity.
Omar is now in danger of being stripped of her citizenship and deported for fraudulent machinations in obtaining her green card and citizenship.

Omar is on her own personal jihad to inflict as much damage to America as she can, before being deported IMHO. Both the Dems and the Public are sick of her.
Omar sure as hell will not be re-elected to Congress.The above cited report was based on the research of a Minnesota ethics firm whichi has provided a vast pile of ammunition t9 prevent Omar’s re-election. Omar will either be primaried out of office, or beat like a drum by a Republican candidate IF she survives the coming attempts to strip her of her falsely obtained citizenship.
