U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar said that she plans to introduce this week a resolution in support of the anti-Israel BDS movement, reported Al-Monitor on Tuesday.
“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,” the congresswoman told the outlet. “And it is an opportunity for us to explain why it is we support a nonviolent movement, which is the BDS movement.”
Since entering Congress in January, Omar has made multiple anti-Semitic and anti-Israel remarks.
In February, she accused the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the largest pro-Israel lobbying organization, of paying members of Congress to back Israel, noting that it was “all about the Benjamins.”
The following month, she pointed fingers at her “Jewish colleagues” for attacking her and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) for labeling their criticisms as anti-Israel because of the Muslim faith of the two congresswomen, in addition to slamming her critics regarding “the political influence in this country that says it is OK to push for allegiance to a foreign country.”
This led to the passing of a resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives condemning anti-Semitism and other forms of hatred that did not call out Omar by name.

She can discriminate, but no one may discriminate HER
Beyond stupid if Pelosi allows it to come to a vote on the floor. After forcing the moderate Dems to vote yesterday to censure Trump, which obviously does not help them with their voters at home, she shows her appreciation by pushing a vote she knows will split the Dems and at best might get 25-30 votes. The majority of the Dems and 100 percent of the Republicans will vote to table the resolution or refer it to Committee where it will never be considered again.
Shocking ?!?
Didn’t Pelosi say a month ago at aipac that supporting bds is bigotry
I’m waiting with bated breath for her to call Omar a bigot
If not it only proves that she’s a habitual liar
Excellent! Will force her fellow Dems to take a position!!
Any “jew” who votes for Democrats should really examine their genealogy on their mother’s side.
Americans have a task at hand. We need to apply maximum effort to unseat these radical commies. Do whatever it takes to find candidates to challenge them, and then support those campaigns to replace them with politicians who have a sense of morality and the basic caring for America. If the challenge can come soon enough, these power greedy anti-semites, and traitors to America will be preoccupied trying to fight for their seats that they will need to distract themselves from their war against Trump, America, and moral value.
the mamzeret wants to demonstrate that benjamins are in control.
Maybe it’s time for this anti-semitic, anti-Jewish, anti-Israel BIMBO to take that rag off her head and stuff it in her mouth.
One wonders if the Republicans are secretly bribing her to undermine the Democratic Party.
the little i know, your name is accurate. these mamzeirim reflect the thinking of their districts. do not waste money trying to defeat them in hopeless races. their existence does useful damage to politicians like schmutzer and piglosi who twist like pretzels in an attempt to explain away their bigotry.
