Ilhan Omar's tweet on Israel-Gaza violence sparks condemnation from Republicans
Fox News ^ | 5-8-19 | Frank Miles

Republicans were harsh to condemn freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who tweeted Sunday night about this weekend’s violence in Israel, the worst in a string of flare-ups since a 2014 war.

“How many more protesters must be shot, rockets must be fired, and little kids must be killed until the endless cycle of violence ends?” Omar tweeted. “The status quo of occupation and humanitarian crisis in Gaza is unsustainable. Only real justice can bring about security and lasting peace.”

Twenty-five Palestinians, including at least 10 militants, and four Israeli civilians were killed before a ceasefire was reached Monday. They were the first Israeli fatalities from rocket fire since the 50-day 2014 war.

Nikki Haley, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, tweeted: “Agreed @IlhanMN so what should be done about Hamas? They are the ones behind all of this.”

Israel and Hamas are bitter enemies who have fought three wars since the Islamic group seized control of Gaza from the internationally recognized Palestinian Authority in 2007.

It’s a very easy answer Ilhan. When Hamas stops attacking and stops using women and children as human shields.

Islam has been at war for 1400 years. It is our fault even though the USA has been in assistance 1200 years less than they have.

Islam is the death cult of a conquering warlord.

It was founded on slavery and child brides.

And Omar is okay wit dat.

Maybe so, but I don't remember anyone who is not a conservative condemning this hate speech and the Democrats don't allow conservatives in their party.

Oh, I’m sure she UNDERSTANDS the reality, but reality wouldn’t get her anywhere with her constituents. Blaming others for the actions of those you support, blaming them by saying ‘you are me do this heinous thing’ is Stock and Trade of the Left. And this woman is a Leftist Extremist. Leftists will support her no matter what.

The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam

John Quincy Adams on Islam

“In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus” (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

WHAT occupation of Gaza, bitch? Israel left Gaza over 10 years ago, and f it is still in poverty it is because what little of the $billions in foreign gifts doesn’t make it into the bank accounts of Hamas leaders is spent on tunnels and rockets.

Why is it, bitch, that 1 million Arab Israeli citizens live a freer, safer longer and more prosperous life than any in the entire world, save some royalty and dictators?

“Real justice” is her code for “extermination of the jews”.
