Ilhan Omar says it's 'exciting' her controversial views on Israel are sparking debate
Washington (CNN)Freshman Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota is defending her controversial views on Israel as they come under scrutiny in Washington, telling CNN that "it's not surprising" her positions are generating attention and that she finds it "exciting" to be sparking debate. "It's not surprising. I think it is actually exciting because we are finally able to have conversations that we weren't really willing to," Omar told CNN on Tuesday. "It is really important for us to get a different lens about what peace in that region could look like and the kind of difficult conversations we need to have about allies." Omar along with Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, the first two Muslim women to serve in Congress, are indeed changing the conversation on Capitol Hill over the United States' long-standing relationship with Israel by speaking out critically against the Israeli government over its treatment of Palestinians. As they challenge the political status quo over Israel in Washington, Omar and Tlaib are facing intense scrutiny and criticism, in particular from Republicans eager to exploit divisions in the Democratic Party.
Tlaib and Omar have also broken the mold on Capitol Hill by supporting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. The movement is a non-violent activist campaign that aims to put economic and political pressure on Israel over its actions toward Palestinians, including calling for an end to Israeli occupation of the West Bank. Omar told CNN that Israel should be held accountable for living up to "the same values that we push for" in the United States as one of its allies.

In 30 years, we’ll have 30 in the house and 5 in the senate. God help us.
She should have her citizenship revoked for marrying her brother in that immigration fraud.
If "peace" looks like submission, I want no part of it. As for conversations about allies, I don't want allies who support genocide and mass murder, nor do I have any interest in conversations about betraying our civilized allies.
“But if she thinks she’s exposing Israel’s genocidal tendencies and the bribery of American politicians by American Jews, good for her.”
Oh, yeah. Genocidal tendencies. We’re the most inept genociders on the planet, because leftards keep urging us to recognize a Palestinian state before they outnumber us. Bribery of American politicians. Oh, yeah. Like American Jews have more money than oil sheikhs and Iranian mullahs.
Oops. Did I just get sparked and start debating? Damn! She’s good.
I would call them traitors. (Minnesota voters who elected her.)

You who voted for her are helping to destroy our precious American Way of Life and our freedoms and our Republic.
Again I had to attack the American people here. Sad.
FR people and 62,979,636 who voted for Trump are okay.
Everyone else get out of my life.
Peace to her looks like no Jews.

They have broken the mold by supporting this openly anti-Semitic movement?! C'mon CNN!
Exactly, If there is proof that she married her brother to gain access to the U.S., she is here illegally and should be deported.
Things can sure go downhill fast. The whole LGBT thing is a good example. Look how short a time it went from the closet to "bake the cake" and tranny's in the military and in your daughter's bathroom.
I thought Genocide was not an American Value, and Homicidal maniacs getting visas to visit our Nation unwise.
Perhaps this woman who committed a Felony by marrying her brother to falsify a Visa application could embrace this discussion.
Oh, and why is she not in handcuffs being exported to the nearest airport ride back to Somalia? I thought a felony barred you from any Federal job.
Or is Congress a form of royalty now and are above the law?
Discuss that you Death cult lying criminal hater...
Thank you Minnesota!
I hope that Minnesota is visited by disasters equal to what they have given us in this gem.
Them “lunatics in Minnesota” are mostly Somali “refugees”
Her district is 68% white.
This is the only reason she wanted to be a Congress Critter ,to attack Israel
So much for her apology
Well if by debate you mean condemnation, ridicule, disgust for you, than yeah your right.
There’s a pit of pig shit somewhere missing its Omar.
This is how they do it. But if a republican is accused of leaving less than 20% tip, the GOPe will instantly demand he apologize and resign.
