Ilhan Omar Accuses Israel of Terrorism After Defending Itself Against Hamas

Hamas launched rockets into Israel and Israel responded by using its Iron Dome.

However, according to Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, Israel's act of self-defense is "an act of terrorism".

Omar complains, "Unlike Israel, missile defense programs, such as Iron Dome, don’t exist to protect Palestinian civilians." Well, yes, the Iron Dome exists to protects Israelis from rocket attacks from Hamas. If Hamas stops rocket attacks against Israel then Israel won't need to defend itself.

Of course, unlike Israel, Hamas deliberately attacks Israeli civilians. Which is the way Omar wants it.

In a follow up tweet, Omar stated:

Many will tell you Israel has a right to defend itself, to safety and security, but are silent on whether Palestinians have those rights too. Until we can defend the rights of Palestinians just as we do Israelis, we have no leg to stand on when it comes to justice or peace.

What Omar doesn't tell is that the Palestinians concept of self-defense, justice and peace includes suicide bombings on buses, restaurants and weddings. Israel does not behave in this manner when defending itself.

In condemning Israel, Ilhan Omar condones Hamas. 

In supporting Palestinian "self-defense", Ilhan Omar supports terrorism.

I just hope the MSNBC prime time lineup doesn't make excuses for Omar much less issues a blanket condemnation of Israel while turning a blind eye to Hamas.

As much as I loathe the GOP should they gain control of the House after the 2022 elections they have every right to not only strip Omar of her committee assignments but to expel her from Congress.
