We can’t wait to see how Seth Meyers will rationalize this anti-Semitic bullsh*t from Ilhan Omar:
A sitting US congress member is RTing Hamas propaganda… pic.twitter.com/1DW2R7Vm8Y

Honest to God, what does Ilhan Omar have to do to be categorically condemned by the Left for her anti-Semitism? Does she need to stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody?
Here’s another thread Omar pushed out to her more than one million followers:
A pregnant Palestinian woman and her baby niece were killed in Gaza – do you condemn their deaths and their (Israeli) killers, Senator? If not, why not? https://t.co/ce51aRodlR

I see the Israeli army is blaming an alleged Hamas ‘misfire’ in this particular incident. The IDF has a long history of covering up war crimes in Gaza. But even if they’re correct, wider point stands: why are US senators not condemning Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians?
— Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) May 6, 2019
For the record, “Between March 30 and November 19, [Israeli] security forces killed 189 Palestinian demonstrators, including 31 children and 3 medical workers, and wounded more than 5,800 with live fire” (@hrw). I’d love to hear @SenatorSinema & @NYCMayor condemn these deaths.

For Omar to openly peddle Hamas propaganda is not only shameful; it’s inexcusable.
Hi @IlhanMN, you retweeted this. It is a lie. Islamic Jihad has taken responsibility for the misfired rocket that caused this. Will you remove this retweet and apologize for spreading this fake news? https://t.co/RXH8EY7fc0 https://t.co/KNd0gspldJ

And if not, why? Also, what did you mean by "real justice"? Does that also not include the truth about Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and their activity in Gaza, as well as Israel's right to defend their citizens? pic.twitter.com/VDcrxKfKVv

She won’t apologize. And on the infinitesimal chance that she would, she wouldn’t mean it. She’s not sorry for her anti-Semitism. She’s never been sorry for it.
Omar spreading Hamas-created lies about Israel???
No way! https://t.co/qriHnAcjHR

Ilhan Omar is an anti-Semitic parasite on humanity. You can pretty much set your watch by her anti-Semitism. And yet, she not only got elected to U.S. Congress but she is frequently held up by progressives as some kind of intersectional heroine.
Or will you just have your "sisters" tell everyone how this is being taken out of context?
Bottom line. Had Islamic Jihad not fired rockets, this baby and her pregnant aunt would be alive today.

Will she do it? Will @TheDemocrats, @SpeakerPelosi or any major news outlet say something about a congresswoman spreading libels (again)?

The best we can hope for is more excuses for Omar’s anti-Semitic bigotry. So don’t hold your breath. But no amount of excuses will change the fact that the Democratic Party owns the shame that is Ilhan Omar.
This isn’t funny. This is a member of the foreign affairs committee in Congress spreading false terrorist propaganda about one of our closest allies and nobody seems to care. Even worse is that the media and the left attack anyone who points it out and accuse them of incitement.
