It’s about bloody time. AFDI was first to call for her removal. Jewish groups have been quiet about Islamic Jew-hatred for far too long.
Exclusive: Leading Jewish Groups Demand Anti-Semitic Omar Be Removed From Foreign Affairs Committee
Jewish groups slam Omar’s anti-Semitic language, ties to groups advocating terrorism
BY: Adam Kredo, WFB, March 4, 2019 4:59 am
Story continues below advertisementA group of leading Jewish organizations petitioned the House of Representative’s top Democrats on Monday, demanding that Rep. Ilan Omar (D., Minn.) be removed from her position on the powerful Foreign Affairs Committee in light of her numerous anti-Semitic remarks and ties to groups that advocate terrorism against Jewish people, according to a copy of a letter exclusively obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Omar, who has been singled out multiple times in her short career on Congress due to several anti-Semitic comments, continued to double down on her belief that pro-Israel members of Congress are more loyal to Israel than America on Sunday.
In yet another tweet alleging that those who support Israel are not loyal to America—an age old anti-Semitic canard that has earned Omar rebukes from Democrats and Republicans—Omar made clear she will not support the historic U.S.-Israel as a member of Congress.
Omar’s continued use of anti-Semitic smears has now led a group of leading Jewish organizations to take action. They sent a letter early Monday to Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) and Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Elliot Engel asking them to immediately strip Omar of her seat on the committee, which plays a key role in supporting the U.S-Israel military alliance.
“In light of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s recent anti-Semitic tweets, statements, and address before Islamic Relief USA on Saturday, February 23rd, we, the undersigned organizations, request that you immediately remove her as a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee,” the groups wrote.
The organizations praised both Pelosi and Engel for being swift in their earlier denunciations of Omar’s smears against Jews and Israel advocacy groups.
“We hope you will continue to demonstrate your commitment to the high moral standards of your office by removing Rep. Omar, a woman who has repeatedly exhibited strong biases against the State of Israel and the Jewish people, from this critically important and sensitive committee,” the letter states.
The groups are also concerned about Omar’s decision to appear before Islamic Relief USA, a group with ties to organizations that advocate terrorism against Israel.
“Rep. Omar’s presence as a keynote speaker to raise funds for Islamic Relief USA, whose parent organization and chapters have documented ties to terrorist organizations, demonstrates that she has learned next to nothing over the last few weeks when she was reprimanded by your office and by other Democrats for posting ugly, anti-Semitic attacks on Jews and their organizations,” the letter states.
Omar’s decision to address Islamic Relief “reflects poor judgment and shows she is unfit to sit on one of the most important committees in the United States Congress,” the letter states.
Sarah Stern, founder and president of the Endowment for Middle East Truth, a pro-Israel organization that spearheaded the letter, told the Free Beacon that Omar’s “use of classic anti-Semitic tropes and stereotypes has touched a nerve” across the American Jewish community.
Other signatories include Alpha Epsilon Pi, the nation’s top Jewish fraternity on college campuses, Americans for a Safe Israel, the Center for Security Policy, the Jewish Policy Center, the Committee for Israel, and the National Council of Young Israel, among others.
The Jewish groups do not buy Omar’s apology for a recent tweet alleging pro-Israel members of Congress take their marching orders from the Jewish state.
“Even after her ‘apology’ for her anti-Semitism, she went on to speak at a forum together with well-known anti-Semites who have known ties to terrorist organizations and those who seek harm to the Jewish people and the destruction of the State of Israel,” they write.
“We need to ensure that anti-Semitism has no place within the venerable House Foreign Affairs Committee,” the letter states. “We therefore respectfully request that Congresswoman Omar be removed, immediately, from the sensitive work of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.”

There will never be an end to Jew hatred since it is innate. But Jews can condemn those who shout Jew-hatred from roof tops.

Melvin, I’m not sure what you mean by that.
Certianly the capacity to hate is innate to humans, but hatred of a particular group is learned. People “absorb” anti-Semitism from various cultures and belief sysems. However, those beliefs can be eliminated from most of them- salient exceptions might be certain political ideologies that decree Jew hatred in their canon or creed, or by the proclamations of a revered founder. For example, consider how anti-Semitism so infected various Christian groups, even beng embraced by clergy in some. Today, while that is not absent from Christianity, it is far less common and, indeed, often is considered a “barbaric relic” of an earlier age.

If there is no pushback , anti-semitism will become the norm like in EU/UKistan
Left is using same tactics of intimidation/suppression and violence used by illegals/jihadis and are funded by same same sources.

Even though too many Jewish people in America are divided between themselves over Israel and everything, it still cannot explain why some who do support and speak up for their homeland have been so slow to do so.
Did someone plug their hands into the grid ? To sustain a future and eventual victory, you need to fight every day.

It is fairly certain that Omar is just trying to fool the voters with her feigned apology. Her bigotry is clear from her anti-semitic remarks. Her criticism of the NRA and fossil fuel industries do not include statements that are inherently hateful, ones based on a pure difference of opinion, or ones blatantly untrue. Making hateful remarks against other groups like Jews is implicitly a form bigotry, indicating racism and likely xenophobia in the near future. Anti-Christian remarks and yes anti-American remarks against our laws are likely not far off in the future. This should be her first and last time in American government. If voters in her district pay attention all will become clear about her real motives, and she will not be voted back in for a second term.

Pelosi loves to have these Muslims with her in Congress. Here she is swearing in Ellison on Jefferson’s Quran. The idiots think he was a fan or else one of them.
Get ALL Muslims OUT of our governing body!

@Ace Wheeler: To add to your good comment.
To make it understandable too the LOW IQ. people in America and around the world. Thomas Jefferson did not get the book to “join”.
Thomas Jefferson obtained the mohamMADan book for this reason;
TO FIGHT ONES’ ENEMIES – – – – ONE MUST UNDERSTAND THE ENEMY!
In simple language, Thomas Jefferson got the book too learn the BARBARIC CULT’S BEHAVIOR and BELIEFS.
Where do you think the Marine song words come from; “To the halls of Tripoli”!

I think it goes, “From the shores of Tripoli” where the young USA was being forced to pay “free passage ransom” to the Barbary Coast Pirates. Jefferson said bologna on that and sent our United States Marines over there and kicked their rear ends soundly and they were silent for hundreds of years….until the last 75 years.

There is a serious
problem for law abiding citizens=the AFT and FBI keep a list of EVERYONE WHO
HAS LEGALLY BOUGHT A FIREARM. The government’s
data systems are hacked so easily—don’t you think that a radical could get a
list of every american who bought a firearm?
Easy as pie for a hacker.

A tip—what we did- the
AFT law says a gun or replica of a gun of Pre-1898 is a NON FIREARM. Like jose wales civil war era revolvers. You
can buy them without any FBI approval –straight to your door—they are black
powder- muzzle loading type- but dig this—we got what is called a
Searchgoogle for this and learn about it
“conversion cylinder for cap and ball naa”
You replace the original cylinder with this conversion and
then it will accept modern ammo. No screwing around with a can of black
powder—works great! Google it- learn about it- we did – and we are not on a FBI
“HAS GUNS” list—but still carry protection everywhere- the country has goon
crazy. Good luck.
don’t be stupid- or you’ll be raped and dead. Trump can’t

Finally, Jews stand up for themselves
– this will only get worse
– as the Dems move farther left
– and become more pro-Islamist
– and we finally have a chance to convince US Jewry
– that they are literally sleeping the the enemy
– only to wake up one morning
– and find themselves alone

They woke up in Israel
– the new Israel was very left wing at first
– full of socialists and ‘Kibbutzim” [collective farmers]
– [after all, they were not going to be fascists]
– but now, most Israelis have become quite conservative
– because reality pounded that into them
– [every armed group that attacked Israel used Soviet weapons]
– Likud, the main party, is right-wing
– and they LOVE Trump

if we are going to remove anti-Semitic Muslims then we should also remove Islamphobic Jews.
let’s be fair and even handed about this.
CAIR and AIPAC must BOTH withdraw there unseemly influence on our government.
no more dual citizens in key government positions.
US citizens only or we must assume disloyalty.
I detest any hint of sharia law being pushed in this freedom loving country as much as I detest Israel’s draconian social justice activism and its canary project that spies on our children and smears them at the first opportunity without due process in a court of law.
there are bad actors on both sides that are not loyal to this country or United States citizens.
They must all go.

sorry spanky, ppppffft, no such thing as ” islamophobia”
When people chant ” death to Israel”, attack Israel, kill Jews, attack Jews and attack Synagogues, support BDS, deny the Holocaust…one needs to believe that they are antiSemites,
If muslims stopped attacking Jews…. we just wouldn’t care about them… we only care because we are defending ourselves and our right to exist.
Read the koran and the hadiths and all the never ending Jew hate.

I would not equate support of BDS with denial of the holocaust.
I have much more respect for the dead than that.
what you should understand is also that there are certain extreme Jewish elements within this country that are pushing social justice, smearing normal people as anti-Semites, and pushing trans activism in our schools.
why are they targeting our children?
then there is the so-called Canary project, that stalks people outside of law, harasses and smears them, simply because they do not like Israel.
activities like this are poisonous to the reputation of normal law abiding respectable Jews in this country who are good hard-working Americans.
The extremist Jews are constantly crying for attention by reminding people of the holocaust yet they ignore a holocaust that many of their grandfathers were involved in under Stalin which resulted in the deaths of 20 to 30,000,000 people, many of them Christians.
learn more about that here:
www DOT ynetnews DOT com/articles/0,7340,L-3342999,00.html
nobody has clean hands in these exchanges on either side of the issues and frankly I think both the Muslim and Jewish extremist need to leave this country.
The rest of the normal ones are welcome to stay as long as they are loyal to this country, our laws and do not disturb the lives of Christians, their families, or their children.

I would hardly describe those whom you describe as ” extreme Jewish elements” as anything but Jews in name only…..these people pay homage to Marxism and the hard left, self loathing Israel haters like Bernie sanders whose campaign manager is a Hamas supporter or the thoroughly nasty kapo Jerry Nadler who threw himself all in behind the Ayatollah’s lapdog obama and the Iran deal.
The dhimmicrat SJW Jews who bow to Gaza and infanticide and compare president Trump to Hitler while worshipping Linda Sarsour are creatures with whom I share no kinship.

well that is good to hear.
I think you and I are seeing some of the same things.
then people like yourself need to actively seek out and shout down these extremists.
simply labeling them Jews in name only is not enough.
they have no shame and will continue to commit crimes and harass others in the name of the Jewish community just as muslim terrorists do so in the name of Islam. then when things heat up, and they run off and disappear, guess who gets the blow back? not fair at all.
and then there are the more insidious ones, such as the funders of the so-called canary mission, that create enemy lists, labels and smears people, outside of US courts, tracking and stalking and doxxing them with real time web searches.
things like that are just creepy and reflect poorly on every Jewish person or organization that supports it.
that stuff is just as unpopular as Muslims pushing sharia law in the United States, which is an abomination.

NO Mouslem should EVER be in your government. It is TREASON to do so.
They do NOT accept your Constitution, your culture, or your way of life. So whoever put them in is committing treason on you.
She should not only be removed from that committee but removed entirely from Congogress. In another words – KICKED OUT.
