Your posts keep getting deleted because they contain false information and are off-topic.


Really? And other posts don’t contain false information? That’s a matter of opinion. There a debate going on whether Omar even made or has ever made anti-Semitic comments. She has and others think she hasn’t. But whatever, I don’t know where you get your facts from, but it is true that Islamic countries deny Palestinians citizenship and Yasser Arafat died a wealthy man despite being born in poverty. Big accomplishment for someone whose only job his entire life was in the military. When discussing support for Israel, it should not be a one-sided discussion about how evil Israel is without discussing the deficiencies of the Palestinians.


This is a racist trope that I’ve heard from people defending Israel and it’s so entrenched in tribalism. It is essentially blaming the neighboring countries for the plight of the Palestinians. Hey why don’t you all extend citizenship to these Muslims, because we don’t want them here and they don’t belong here. I know there are Arab Israelis, why not allow more citizens of Palestine a pathway to Israeli citizenship? Oh right racism.

Yet Omar isn't mentioned by name while a certain Republican from Iowa was named 8 weeks ago in the same resolution... double standard?


Well, to be fair, King actually said what he was criticized for saying. Omar is being criticized for something she didn't say.


How so?



What part do you want clarified? Omar's remarks are available in the first post of this thread. Read those and try to find where she accused Jews of having dual allegiance. She didn't.

She's better at tweeting than talking.

Duke is an opportunist.

This is not surprising!


Ilham Omar should be asked by the media about his support.


Unlike Trump, Omar will have no difficulty rejecting Duke's support.
she was asked by a reporter if she condemns antisemitism and she walked by the reporter and didn’t answer

Is there a people group called Muslim?
Is anti semitism by definition anti Jewish, or is it anti towards all persons of semitic language group?

Why is there a need for this?
