Dalia Al-Aqidi, a Republican contender vying for a Congressional seat currently held by Ilhan Omar, embarks on a trip to Israel to demonstrate her backing and relates her unique personal journey as a Muslim of Iraqi origin.
'Ilhan Omar has no business whatsoever being on the House Foreign Affairs Committee,' co-founder of the Muslim Reform Movement M. Zuhdi Jasser told JNS.
In 2022, the majority of tweets on foreign affairs by Omar, Tlaib and AOC targeted the world's only Jewish state, instead of the 193 other countries in the world.
It does not take a genius to identify the antisemitic tropes that Ilhan Omar has hinted at: that Jews are a sinister force who influence others to do their nefarious bidding.
'His delivery here is so classically Jewish that you almost wanna let it slide,' tweeted Ilhan Omar's Deputy Communications Director, Isaiah Baehr-Breen, who is Jewish.
Rabbi Hayim Herring demanded that Ilhan Omar “think before she tweets antisemitic and bigoted comments” after the lawmaker accused Israel of killing an Al Jazeera reporter.
'Israel had such power – and rightfully – over Congress, and now it doesn't. It's incredible, actually,' the former president said in his attack on the current US administration.
Free Speech for Me, Not for Thee: Newspaper editors have a right to chastize Omar without unsubstantiated claims of racism and Islamophobia being lobbed at them.
