Ilhan Omar; Genocide, Hamas, Al-Shabaab, Somalia, Jews

Ilhan Omar said the following:

“I think it is really unfortunate that people don’t care about the fact that all Jewish kids should be kept safe and that we should not have to tolerate antisemitism or bigotry for all Jewish students, whether they are pro-genocide or anti-genocide.” 

Hamas openly proclaims its goals to destroy Israel and exterminate Jews. 

Jews that oppose Hamas are not pro genocide. 

On October 7, Hamas and Islamic Jihad raped, wounded, burned alive, beheaded, mutilated, kidnapped thousands of defenseless people, from babies to old people. 

Hamas and Islamic Jihad started a war. They are the ones using the civilians of Gaza as human shields to hide beneath and behind. 

It is not the obligation of Jews or anyone else to submit to the genocidal goals of their enemies. 

Supporting Israel does not mean supporting the government of Israel or its policies. It does mean supporting the right of the people of Israel to not be raped, kidnapped, mutilated and murdered. 

No one anywhere in the world should be subjected to this cruelty and brutality. 

Some consider Ilhan Omar to be a progressive. Hamas and all of its sister type organizations, including Al Shabaab, are some of the most bloodthirsty, reactionary, genocidal forces on the planet.

Does Ilhan Omar support or oppose Hamas and Al Shabaab, which is driven by similiar religious beliefs as Hamas? 

If Al Shabaab succeeds in taking over all of Somalia, just as Hamas took over Gaza, the nightmare that will descend to even more of Somalia than what exists now will be met with silence.

Ilhan Omar, in much of Somalia, there is widespread child marriage, child soldiers, no rights for women and girls, excruciating mass poverty, drought, famine, war, terror, rule by corrupt, oppressive, violent religious fanatics, and millions of internally and externally displaced refugees. Will you fight for the oppressed downtrodden people of Somalia as a priviledged person that was fortunate to escape from Somalia and now hold one of the most powerful positions on the planet, if Israel or Jews cannot be blamed?
