herein you'll be taken thru the mire presented by the zionists when anyone questions their position in the empire as presented by the somali congress woman in a clear and concise fashion;
What happened to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar was
troubling. On the one hand, because she dared to challenge the way
supporters of Israel have worked to silence debate on US policy toward
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, she became a victim of incitement, and
the target of legislation meant to shame her. At the same time,
however, the heavy-handed tactics employed against her by some
pro-Israel members of Congress backfired, exposing new fault lines in
the US-Israel relationship.
The weapon of choice utilized by Omar’s opponents was to demonize her
as an anti-Semite. Her “sin,” it appears, was her continued umbrage
over the double-standard that exists in American policy toward Israel
and its treatment of Palestinians.
During Israel’s assault on Gaza, for example, she criticized the
failure of the US media to pierce through Israeli propaganda and see
what was actually happening to Palestinians in that impoverished strip
of land. Once in Congress, she was deemed to have “sinned” again when
she challenged the power of AIPAC to intimidate politicians and silence
debate on Israel/Palestine.
New to Washington and the “acceptable language” one should use to
discuss these issues, she admitted that her word choices had been
unfortunate and apologized for the pain she may have caused.
Despite her apology, she remained a target. Because she is a
hijab-wearing Muslim, who was critical of Israel, the GOP sought to
exploit her in their continuing effort to drive a wedge between the
Jewish community and Democrats. For their part, some Democrats reacted
with hyperventilated outrage. Extreme language was used to denounce
Omar. Her words were described as “bigoted,” “vile,” and, of course,
“anti-Semitic slurs.”..........https://www.globalresearch.ca/shameful-attack-backfired/5671310
