Ilhan Omar makes clear her allegiance, and it’s not to America

 


Ilhan Omar makes clear her allegiance, and it’s not to America UPDATED - Andrea Widburg   "When sworn into the House, a new congressperson promises to “bear true faith and allegiance” to the Constitution of the United States and, by extension, to the United States itself. Ilhan Omar, however, recently gave a speech in Minnesota in which she identified her fealty as being to Somalia and Islam, boasted about her control over America’s foreign policy, and suggested that a purge or genocide was required in Somalia to purify it for true Somalis. America’s interests, of course, were irrelevant." . . .

It’s a dramatic evolution for Omar, who infuriated Democrats and Republicans in 2019 after she tweeted that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and other Jewish donors were paying politicians to back Israel, saying: “It’s all about the Benjamins, baby.”

. . ."All Democrats backed Omar on Thursday and voted no on the GOP resolution to remove her from the Foreign Affairs panel."

Pro Palestinians sort of agree Israel not aparthied state. But it kinda is.

So all those families were massacred for kinda good reasons.

. . ."Israel and its defenders reject the idea that it is an apartheid state. Human rights groups Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch (HRW) have said that the Israeli governments' treatment of Palestinians amounts to apartheid."
