[Red State] Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar| ...(D - jihadis), thrice-married Somali-American, the second time to her brother, first and third to the father of her children... |
According to The Hill, Omar called the sale "appalling" because, as she says, Israel has been murdering children:
"It would be appalling for the Biden administration to go through with $735 million in precision-guided weaponry to Netanyahu without any strings attached in the wake of escalating violence and attacks on civilians," Omar said in a statement, referring to the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"If this goes through this will be seen as a green light for continued escalation and will undercut any attempts at brokering a ceasefire," added Omar, one of the first Muslim women elected to Congress.
The U.S. and Israel have worked out a deal for $735 million worth of munitions, most of which are Joint Direct Attack Munitions which make "dumb" bombs into precision-guided missiles. This makes Israel’s retaliatory strikes against Hamas more accurate, allowing them to limit the civilian casualties as Hamas continues to use non-military civilians as human shields, including children.
Omar, a continued source of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish sentiment, has said that Hamas’s indiscriminate rocket fire into Israeli territory is a war crime, but in light of her comments and stances in the past, this seems more like lip service.
She spends more time referring to Israel as the terrorists instead of the other way around. Meanwhile, she’s declared that the U.S. "should not stand idly by while crimes against humanity are being committed with our backing."
