Ilhan Omar: The Fighter America Needs

In this Majority Report clip, Ilhan Omar is just what congress needed.

"Ilhan Omar has stirred national debate by taking up the cause of the displaced and stateless Palestinians, Israel’s victims who cannot be acknowledged in most of Washington because of the prevailing triumphalist Zionist narrative that erases the Palestinians from history. More recently, she slammed Barak Obama for his treatment of undocumented immigrants and for his escalation of the drone wars.

That Rep. Omar keeps scandalizing the burghers of America is not surprising. She is speaking from the perspective of the global South, not from that of the comfortable and amnesiac North."*

People please donate anything to her her campaign $1 $5 anything we need her to gow and be safe

[senseijosesuave]

Omar is right. Now let's do something about it.

[aladinabraham]

Jews, some intelligent good Jews, are critical of Israel. Why not Ilhan

[skyking]

I'm conservative Christian & love what she's doing to expose the hypocrisy.

[healingbyqurannow]

Greeting
All I want to say thank you Ilhan Omar for being a truth teller

[nasprocco]

She is great and she has to stay strong. A huge wave of hate is gonna keep hitting her whenever she breathes

[cheekoandtheman]

As much as I respect Jewish culture and their great acheivments, the section of the Jewish community who uses the anti semitisim card for the most innane, petty and slightest of things really does my head in . Dont forget the story of the boy who cried Wolf ! In my opinion using the suffering of all the people have been persecuted through the ages from the Spanish inquisition to the Holocaust as a political tool to smear people is a tragedy and it dilutes the memory of those people who suffered in the hands of true Anti Semitism . Just because someone does not like the political party ( actually parties ) running Israel does NOT make someone antisemetic !

[jacquejones]

I think there is a lot of missing the point she was making initially . That there is a bill that is creeping across the country that requires allegiance to not supporting BDS. It a direct assault on free speech. How is a law against American people who speak out about Palestinians inhumane treatment by Israel. People are losing jobs and livelihood because of this "law".

That hypnotize quote in context was mentioned when UN report issued about Israel killing 80% civilians during the 2008-09 culling of Gaza. Most nations said or did nothing significant and were mostly silent and to add insult to injury the media accused Gazans of perhaps using their children/Civilians as shields (there is also a quote for this by Alan Dershowitz in The Case for Israel) that it is conceivable that mothers were moving their children in front of them as human shields. It's not me saying it, it's the book. So you have to look at her quote in context otherwise you can accuse anyone of anything.

[doctorreynolds]

The backlash is the proof that what she said was true

[randomised]

She is fighting the war against most powerful Israeli lobby alone, the war that US congress or anyother country could't fight

[dopaminey]

Islam respects Judaism and Christianity; Islam saw them as their religious ancestors. During the 16th century many where welcomed in Arab countries when Jews were forced out of Europe if they didn't convert. Arabs may hate how Israel is treating Palestinians, and perhaps we all need to; at least question their assault on Palestinians.

Ilhan Omar great job, that’s what America wants to see 🇸🇴🇺🇸👏🏾👍🏾😍

[crazyman]

The fighter we need, but not the one we deserve. 😎

[onehumanhistory]

So proud of you guys showing so much support for Ilhan! Not that I was expecting anything less from MR ❤️

[thundernut]

You have many Israel first Trump supporters in your comments

[justinbennett]

So she went after Two-Face, now she's the hero we need but don't want.

[ejazsandhu]

Americans taxpayers feeding Israeli people so she has right to ask questions about Israeli lobby who has influence in every single institution in America.

[FOtus-ywrr]

I vote for Ilhan as a Congresswomen in the Republican party. Just to muddle the waters.

[nopenot]

She's always the girl Somalian confident lady
