Controversial congresswoman says "existence" of PM is "contradictory" to peace, reiterates support for BDS.
Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar called Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's "existence" a problem in an interview with CBS' Face the Nation program.
"I certainly hope that the people of Israel make a different decision. And my hope is that they recognize that his existence, his policies, his rhetoric really is contradictory to the peace that we are all hoping that that region receives and receives soon," Omar told host Margaret Brennan.
The congresswoman then reiterated her support for the anti-Israel BDS movement. "Just right now if you look at the annexation that's taking place, for many of us in Congress, there has been long standing support for its two-state solution, and this annexation now is going to make sure that that peace process does not happen, and we will not get to a two-state solution. I think what is really important is for people to understand that you have to give people the opportunity to seek the kind of justice they want in a peaceful way. And I think the opportunity to boycott, divest, sanction is the kind of pressure that leads to that peaceful process."
Last month, Israel barred Omar and fellow Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib from visiting the country.

That is her real name, not the one she used to gain entry to the USA.....or the one she used to get elected to congress or the name America knows her by. She is a fraud.
Thank goodness we didn’t have a moderate anti-Semite first, who might have built up our tolerance bit by bit. Be thankful we have an out-an-out Nazi in Congress opening her mouth every chance she gets.
The whole thing is so outlandish it make your teeth curl. Thank God.
AMEN!
AMEN!
To Omar, “peace” means the extinction of Israel.
Violence signaling from another PIG at the trough.
That is also the scam to grab free US govt money....... using multiple identities.
They also borrow children to increase EITC checks.
Al taqiyaa at work. The peace shes referring to is a muslim peace where jews and christians are destroyed.
She is a typical muslim. Constant lying and deceptive, practicing al taqiyaa, al tawriya, al kitman and al muruna to evryone not a muslim.
She’s a demagogue. Doesn’t really want to contemplate the issues. There is a dispute over territory and even experts in international law will hold different views. Israel annexed the Golan after being attacked from the heights many times in war and wars of attrition. Israel annexed Jerusalem, for the same reasons but also to preserve the rights of all people to visit which was denied under previous rule. Israel may annex parts of the West Bank, but this can be traded in a final deal for other territories and remunerations. And there is something ironic in the Palestinian position in that in 1964 they swore that the West Bank belonged to Jordan, even though Israel disputed that, but then circa 1990 Jordan relinquished claims to the West Bank and now the Palestinians claim it was always theirs?
Besides, there is no indication that the Palestinian leadership is eager to grant the 400,000 Israelis living in these territories citizenship and equal rights. So what do they propose? Ethnic cleansing? Or maybe they should negotiate something less drastic than perpetual agitation.
Meanwhile, Israel has withdrawn completely from Gaza. It also withdrew completely from Southern Lebanon which it occupied for many years. It also withdrew from Sinai in return for a peace deal except of course that Egypt refused to take Gaza back. So there is no reason to demagogue the question or the issue at hand, nor to continue to push one side or the other into harder line positions like the BDS movement is doing. It is wrong for many reasons.
And at the end of the day, assuming the formation of a Palestinian state living in peace with Israel, Israel would be their greatest friend and trading partner. They currently rely on Israel for many things - currency, tax collection, international defense (preventing Al Queda/ISIS types from infiltrating the Palestinian areas and making a mess for the current leadership), water and power and sewage, international trade, internal trade, jobs, agriculture... if a Palestinian state were to form tomorrow they would need an answer to these and other issues - and the likely partner would be Israel.
But who wants to discuss the issues when demagoguery is so much more fun and profitable?
Mo saad is watching
Sounds like a threat.
It just has to look like an accident. Or, if Epstein can commit suicide in his cell while under a suicide watch....
...with no guarantee that she will be let out...
...or how.
Sarsour is another one.
If the Arabs wanted peace it could have been had decades ago. It's a business. Just like the race hustlers have done over here. There are evil people deliberately subjugating their own people in order to feather their own nests. Nothing new under the sun. And some of their kind have more of a religious interest to keep them subjugated. Unfortunately, the Palis have been too steeped in the brainwashing to ever be able to figure out who are their true oppressors. Maybe some smart ones have figured it out. In 50 to 100 years, I don't see them being in any different state than they are now. But the Jews went into a wasteland and made it flourish. If the Palis were smart, they would try to emulate. And you know what? If the Jews in Israel saw that, they would step up and help. You know they would. Very stark differences in mentality.
Isn't she moderate and reasonable sounding? Lol. I have a feeling she would have no trouble slitting throats if she could. Just my gut.
“Netanyahu’s “existence” a problem”
One day two people did something...
..................
So it’s his existence she has a problem with, not that he’s the PM. There is only one remedy she’s talking about then. Typical.
