Shalom,
Your definition of “Islamist” is not the way the dictionary or wikipedia defines it. You should have used the word ‘radical’.
She is not a radical. She is a moderate , conservative democratic member of the American House of Representatives.
She is also not an islamist. She is a Muslim. Andre Carson from Indiana is also a Muslim. They are both upstanding US citizens and members of the US congress. They swore an oath on the koran to uphold the constitution. They did not hold the constitution and swear an oath to uphold the koran.
“What does African by origin – Ilhan Omar have to do with the (mostly grandparents of Arab immigrants who are today called) “Palestinians”? Of course she is not “pro Palestinian” but anti Jewish.”
That is your perception , but it is not objective. There are many members of Congress from all races, ethnicities and religions , (including President Biden and his administration) , who are concerned about the situation of the Palestinian’s vis-à-vis Israel. That is official US Policy. It has nothing to do with Anti-Jewishness.
When you write this way about a Muslim member of Congress , you give credence to what people suspect about Jewish members of congress – that they are biased towards Israel.
