Ilhan Omar Stokes Outrage With Plea Against Sending US Weapons to Back ‘War Crime’ in Israel

Rep. Ilhan Omar elicited outrage Monday with a public entreaty for the US to shift from giving Israel “unconditional weapons sales and military aid” to diplomacy.

Omar (D-Minn.) — a member of the so-called “Squad” — also harped on the plight of the Palestinians and suggested that Israel’s retaliation against terrorist group Hamas might be a “war crime.”

“The Israeli Defense Minister has called Palestinians ‘human animals’ and promised to cut off all electricity, all food, and all fuel to civilians in Gaza,” Omar wrote in a lengthy threat on X, formerly Twitter. “This is collective punishment, a war crime, and the U.S. should oppose any violations of international law if we truly support a rules-based international order,” she continued.

“Apparently Omar has not see the videos online of atrocities being committed by Hamas.”

I’m sure she has. And I’m sure she totally supports the atrocities. She one of ‘em.

For the purpose of this Statute, “war crimes” means:

"This Statute" refers to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Israel and the United States are not parties to the Rome Statute and do not recognize the ICC. The ICC lacks jurisdiction and that particular statute does not apply.

The United States of America vs. Wilhelm von Leeb et al.

US Military Tribunal Nuremberg, Judgment of 27 October 1948

The High Command Trial, pp. 74-75

6. CRIMINAL CONDUCT PERTAINING TO THE SIEGE OF LENINGRAD

Leningrad was encircled and besieged. Its defenders and the civilian population were in great straits and it was feared the population would undertake to flee through the German lines. Orders were issued to use artillery to "prevent any such attempt at the greatest possible distance from our own lines by opening fire as early as possible, so that the infantry, if possible, is spared shooting on civilians." We find this was known to and approved by von Leeb. Was it an unlawful order?

"A belligerent commander may lawfully lay siege to a place controlled by the enemy and endeavor by a process of isolation to cause its surrender. The propriety of attempting to reduce it by starvation is not questioned. Hence, the cutting off of every source of sustenance from without is deemed legitimate. It is said that if the commander of a besieged place expels the noncombatants, in order to lessen the number of those who consume his stock of provisions, it is lawful, though an extreme measure, to drive them back so as to hasten the surrender."¹ We might wish the law were otherwise but we must administer it as we find it. Consequently, we hold no criminality attached on this charge.

It may just be me but given worldwide reaction I think Hamas shots themselves in the foot with this

I’m seeing normally ambivalent parties supporting Israel

The EU has suspended the aid packages as the horror atrocities and death tolls mount

We haven’t done that to my knowledge

We just gave Iran who has funded and armed Hamas in the past six billion didn’t we

It’s amazing the number of woke lefties that have had to scrub equating and parsing remarks past 48 hours

I think this unprecedented level of targeting civilians with New Gen or Sinaloa tactics is an optics nightmare these Comanches in acid

I hope so anyhow

[wardaddy]

If Hamas aim is to stop Israel from signing these deals with moderate Arabs in two weeks as planned we’ll have to see

I hope they don’t cancel

Despite the PR nightmare I think Hamas has generated, cancelling that would be a win for Hamas

[Jumper]

Take her to Hamas and trade her for the hostages. She ought to be good with that. We sure would.

[Jumper]

Followed by tar and feathering;)

After congress is thru with her, let the people decide if she can walk the streets in sheets.

I’m thinking maybe, just maybe, that to serve in Congress you should be required to have been born here and be a legal citizen (e.g. not an anchor baby).
