Anti-Semitic Rep. Ilhan Omar Calls For The Complete Annihilation Of Israel

Anti-Semitic Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) suggested in an interview this week that Israel should not be allowed to exist as a Jewish state, Israel is not a democracy, and compared Israel to Iran — which is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.

Omar made the shocking remarks during a Tuesday interview on Yahoo News’ “Through Her Eyes” with Zainab Salbi.

“I want to talk about Israel because it has been a point of contention,” Salbi said. “How can America work productively towards a just and lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians in your opinion?”

“Most of the things that have always been aggravating to me is that we have had a policy that makes one superior to the other and we mask it with a conversation that’s about justice and a two-state solution when you have policies that clearly prioritize one over the other,” Omar responded.

When pressed for examples, Omar responded: “Our relationship, really with the Israeli government and the Israeli state.”

“And so when I see Israel institute, um, law that recognizes it as a Jewish state and does not recognize, um, the other religions that are living in it and we still uphold it as a democracy in the Middle East, I almost chuckle because I know that if, you know, we, we, we, we see that in any other society we would criticize it.”

“We would call it out,” Omar continued. “We do that to Iran.”

Omar has increasingly come under fire over her anti-Semitic beliefs which date back years.

In 2012, Omar tweeted: “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.”

Omar, who also has spread homophobic conspiracy theories about Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), defended her anti-Semitic tweet in an interview earlier this month, saying those were “the only words I could think about expressing at that moment.”

In a subsequent interview on CNN, Omar again defended her anti-Semitism, saying that she did not know how her “comments would be offensive to Jewish Americans.”

Conservative Review’s Jordan Schachtel notes that Omar “came into the House of Representatives with a lot of baggage. She may have committed massive immigration fraud in reportedly marrying her brother. She is accused of committingseveral campaign finance violations. She cozies up to the Hamas-tied Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). She engages in conspiratorial anti-Semitism and supports a movement that seeks to eliminate the world’s lone Jewish state. ”

Schachtel adds that “on an almost daily basis, Omar has revealed disturbing biases and appears to be unable to separate friends from foes or free states from totalitarian dictatorships. Putting aside her smearing of the Covington Catholic teenagers and her politicization of Holocaust Remembrance Day, Omar has committed several major foreign policy blunders that may lead even Democrats to question whether she is suited for a congressional foreign affairs committee.”
