Has Omar criticized the Somali terrorist group, Al-Shabaab (or something like that), or is all her venom reserved for Israel?

Her hatred for Isreal is driven by her by allegiance to Islam. It's no secret that every Muslim wants to bring death to the Jewish people.and they like to stone or behead all of the homosexuals in the United States as an added bonus.

Call me crazy but I don't think Ilhan Omar wants either of those things.

Talk about hysteria.

So . .
You've been using that ONE example of a fringe group for two years now! (And no, Trump wasn't referring to the tiki torchers as fine people.....but you know that.)

I'm not concerned with a small group of fringe anti-Semites, with a single incident two years ago, as I am with the growing tolerance on the left for the new anti-Semitic congresswoman advancing anti-Semitic tropes as part of her government position.

Also, are you British? (This is an American issue.) What are your thoughts about the influx of Muslims into Europe and the correlating increase in Antisemtism there?

AIPAC seems to have given greatly to the democrat party as well. The democrats certainly have had their fair share of Israel firsts. LBJ and Jimmy Carter for example. The Clintons and no problem French kissing Israel's brown eye and once you got past Obama's tough talk he did squat.

Well Ringo, it looks like we agree. I think what Omar wants is for us to stop being so blatantly biased in regard to Israel.

You are right - Obama gave Bibi a shyte ton of money. Not that Bibi was appreciative though.

Not British. And the Congresswoman isn't anti-semitic (but you know that).

The American people are tired of giving BILLIONS of dollars to Israel.

What's the "whilst" in your earlier post then? That's not an Americanism.

And of course she's anti-Semitic. While she's condemning Jews for buying off Congress and donating to APAIC, she's participating in a fund-raiser for money for CAIR - the Muslim organization associated with Hamas.

Jews giving to AIPAC: Bad powerful Jews with all their money!
Muslims giving to CAIR: Oh goodie, what can I do to raise more money for "Palestine"?

P.S. SOME Americans don't understand the importance of supporting Israel, but others do. Don't be so arrogant as to assume Americans all agree with you.

For the third time in two months US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has waded into antisemitism charges. In the wake of her “all about the Benjamins” tweets attacking AIPAC, she told a progressive audience in Washington that she wanted to talk about “the political influence in this country that says it is okay to push for allegiance to a foreign country.”

In the February 27 meeting however Omar appeared to go even further, and to have crafted a kind of preemptive defense of her views. Many are shocked. Seth Mandel, executive editor of the Washington Examiner, tweeted that the comments made her antisemitism “explicit once again.” Bret Stephens, columnist at The New York Times, “seems to calculate that if she makes only one blatantly anti-Semitic remark per week, progressives will forgive her.”

She is extremely bigoted. Period.

Being against a foreign country doesn't make one bigoted. Otherwise you guys would break the bigotry scale.
