Come now. Can anyone really say that Israel gets nothing but cash and free passes from the USA? Even when we catch them stabbing us in the back we bend over to make it seem like they were justified for doing it.
AIPAC is absolutely an issue and their interests are not what is good for the USA but how to manipulate our government to the advantage of Israel.
I have no issue with the people of Israel, I just dont believe that we owe them one drop of American sweat. It sucks what happened to the Jews in the 30's and 40's in Europe, but we didn't do it, Germany did it. Why are we on the hook to be their sugar daddy?
Singling out Omar? She has a lot of catching up to do before she comes close to the damage Israel's government has done to the USA.
Lets instead of singling out an individual, let's instead look at the 2 major parties and how they have fleeced America.
NO, But after reading some of these comments, can you deny that SOME of the posters complaining about Israel are vehemently antisemitic, and that their laser-focus hostility toward the Jewish state might have something to do with it?
Read one up, where that poster said, essentially, Jews deserve to be held in disdain because of the teachings of their disdainful religion. Now how can a normal person separate out that degree of antisemitism from any criticism he has of Israel? Once he reveals such Jew-hate, he loses credibility.
I'm not anti-semitic; I'm anti-State and anti-theft.
You refuse to answer why American taxpayers should be forced at gunpoint to give Israel $3 billion a year.
(And before you bring it up, yes, all foreign aid is theft and must be abolished.)
All I know is, I think it's time for an amendment to the constitution to make it that all public servants have to have the exact same requirements that the US president has. Number one, they have to be natural born American citizen. None of this crap where people can migrate here and then be elected to some political power. That is just insanity that this is allowed to happen.
I don't know who she is...or care. She's not my rep in the People's house.
What am I supposed to do? Care about each of the 400+ lowly Reps and what each of them says?
Take 'em or leave em. Vote them out....they have very short terms.
I don't have to speak out against anyone. That's "groupthink" type of talk.

Fair enough, but lets also look at how anyone who questions the USA's blatant bias in regards to Israel is labeled an anti-semite by the Israel supporters. It goes both ways.
Those who hate because of the the jewish religion are dogs, the same as anyone who will hate simply because they disagree with someone's religion.
I can't imagine that a member of the United States Congress would ever describe the 9/11 attacks as "some people who did something."
It would have been better for everybody if she never left her birthplace in Mogadishu. She should go back home.
It would have been better for all of us if Trump wasn't born with daddy's silver spoon so he could have lived a normal life wearing a wife beater in a trailer park, instead of making white nationalism and trillion dollar annual deficits great again

But you cared about AOC, remember? And you "cared about" Palin enough to make a recent post about her. But now you "don't care" about Omar and "don't know who she is"? Right.

Representatives make national policy. So pretending that you don't know who she is, or that she is of no consequence is dishonest. Some of the most powerful people in congress are "lowly Reps".
Fact is, you liberals would love for us to stop talking about her, but we won't. Nice try.
As a Minnesotan I’m embarrassed even though the idiots who voted her in are not really Minnesotans and have no business in this country.
The people who voted her in are Islamic Somalians, who identify as Islamic Somalians and will never integrate into our society. If they were Secularist they could, and there are Secular Somalis here and others like Hirsi Ali who are great.
I always do the marriage test; "would you want someone in your family to marry one? I am a former Sikh, turned Atheist. I have Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhist, and a Muslim who have married into my extended family. I could see marrying someone like any one of the religions that my extended family married into with the exception of Islam.
