Later this month, on February 23rd, Omar will share a stage in Tampa Bay with Yousef Abdallah of Islamic Relief USA who has praised the killing of Jews:
Abdallah, who serves as Islamic Relief USA's "operations manager," shared a "very beautiful" modernized version of a Palestinian folk story about a 'resistance hero' named Zharif al-Tawl, who took revenge against Jewish "gangs" - which had purportedly attacked a Palestinian village - by providing guns to "kill more than 20 jews" and "fire rockets at Tel Aviv."
Other posts referred to Jews as "stinking," and claim "the Jews put the outside wall of Al Aqsa [the mosque in Jerusalem] on fire." Abdallah also 'liked' a comment on his Facebook post that calls on God to wreak "revenge on the damned rapists Zionists. O God they are no challenge for you . Shake the Earth beneath their feet and destroy them as you destroyed the peoples of ʿĀd, Thamud and Lot."
If it is Omar's intention not to offend Jews in the future then it would be a good idea not to share a stage with an anti-Semite who supports violence against Jews.
Should Omar proceed with her appearance at this gathering then it is incumbent upon Nancy Pelosi to strip her of her committee assignments or perhaps even expel her from the Democratic Party caucus.
