Shamelessly anti-Semitic Rep. Ilhan Omar told reporters that there is “no way in hell” she will attend an address to Congress from Israeli President Yitzchak Herzog this coming week. Her comment has unleashed a wave of outrage, as it exposes – again – Omar’s hatred not for individual actors in Israel, but for the Jewish State itself.
Among the many members of Congress who have spoken out against Omar and/or in support of Israel is Rep. Mike Lawler, the House representative for New York’s 17th District, which has a large and growing Jewish population.
Rep. Ilhan Omar’s anti-Israel diatribe… is exactly why I supported Speaker McCarthy’s decision to remove her from the House Foreign Affairs Committee at the beginning of this Congress,” Lawler said. “Israel is one of our closest allies and its leaders are always welcome here. I look forward to attending President Herzog’s address to a joint session of Congress next week to commemorate Israel’s 75th anniversary.”
In stark contrast, Rep. Lawler’s most likely challenger in the race for the NY-17 House seat in 2024, former Rep. Mondaire Jones, has been conspicuously silent. Jones had previously held the seat now occupied by Lawler, but his reelection plans were thwarted by redistricting. Now, he wants it back, but won’t say a word to assure the district’s tens of thousands of Jewish constituents that he has Israel’s back.
Why is Mondaire Jones silent?

the same reason Dem leader and favorite of askanim HAKEEM JEFFRIES is silent. Democrats dont critique one another ever.
She looks cute in a tichel.
I think a certain “askan” with the initials “EF” needs to go meet with this machsheifa again, “Just to keep the channels of communication open”.
I don’t give a flip about what some congresswoman in Minnesota says, I go care the Jones was not there to help us when Chinuch is under siege, Lawler was.
Even non zionist Jews know that majority of anti Semitic violence and hate expression come under the mask of “criticizing israel”.
The Herzog speech will say
We’re not going to China for help
We have a one state solution for years given the Palestinian social welfare and role models
We want a two state solution for palestine pride and heritage
We give them the land and water that they rightfully own
We think the Abraham accords means sholom with all the Arab nations in sweetness
We are a democracy just like America with a judicial house
Biden is the best friend Israel ever had and if we are strong we can fight the enemy
Iran can’t have the bomb because they support terrorist on civilians
And it goes on the best pizza yet
