Omars Response 3

İlhan Omar. @lhan MN . Mar 3 I am in the Horn of Africa this weekend, proud to see peace prosper here and to be part of the first American delegation to Eritreain decades is one I am grateful for. I fight peace and justice because only those who experience the pain of war, know the joy of peace. Ilhan Omar@llhanMN Mar 3 Being opposed to Netanyahu and the occupation is not the same as being anti- Semitic. I am grateful to the many Jewish allies who have spoken out and said the same. Ilhan Omar@llhanMN Mar 3 We must be willing to combat hate of all kinds while also calling out oppression of all kinds. I will do my best to live up to that. I hope my colleagues will join me in doing the same.

Omar's Response 2

Ilhan Omar@llhanMN Mar 3 I have not mischaracterized our relationship with Israel, I have questioned it and that has been clear from my end. Ilhan Omar@llhanMN Mar 3 I am told everyday that I am anti-American if I am not pro-Israel. I find that to be problematic and I am not alone. I just happen to be willing to speak up on it and open myself to attacks. Ilhan Omar@llhanMN Mar 3 My Americanness is questioned by the President and the @GOP on a daily basis, yet my colleagues remain silent. I know what it means to be American and no one will ever tell me otherwise.

Omar's Response

Ilhan Omar @llhanMN Our democracy is built on debate, Congresswoman! I should not be expected to have allegiance/pledge support to a foreign country in order to serve my country in Congress or serve on committee. The people of the 5th elected me to serve their interest. I am sure we agree on that! Nita Lowey@NitaLowey Lawmakers must be able to debate w/o prejudice or bigotry. I am saddened that Rep. Omar continues to mischaracterize support for Israel. I urge her to retract this statement and engage in further dialogue with the Jewish community on why these comments are so hurtful.

"Ilhan Omar is making Jews uncomfortable" - says woman who takes selfies with Richard Spencer

Julia loffe@juliaioffe 2h Remind me never to tweet about Israel/Palestine. But I will say this: @llhanMN keeps saying things that make many Jewish people, even liberal ones and ones who are critical of Israel, wildly uncomfortable. The reason we cringe is not because Israel bought us. 524 228 1.3 George Follow @George_Chi86 Replying to @juliaioffe @lhanMN Whoops 2:41 PM-4 Mar 2019 9 Retweets 93 Likes

meaningless word

Greg Афиногенов @athenogenes Follow I can't believe I saw "saying AIPAC buys influence with money is antisemitic," "the term 'neocon' is antisemitic," and "attacking Elliott Abrams is antisemitic" in a single 24 hour period and we're still pretending that the term as used in a political context is meaningful at all 7:06 PM -13 Feb 2019 136 Retweets 883 Likes 15 п 136 883

Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi In our conversation today, Congresswoman Omar and I agreed that we must use this moment to move forward as we reject anti- Semitism in all forms. goo.gl/isKX97 Democratic Leadership Statement on Anti-Semitic Comments of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar FEBRUARY 11, 2019 Washington, D.C. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, Majority Whip James E. Clyburn, Assistant Speaker Ben Ray Luján, Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries and Cauous Vice Chair Katherine Clark issued this joint statement condemning anti- Semitic comments made over Twitter by Congresswoman lIhan Omar Anti-Semitism must be called out, confronted and condemned whenever it is encountered, without exception. We are and will always be strong supporters of Israel in Congress because we understand that our support is based on shared values and strategic interests. Legitimate criticism of Israel's policies is protected by the values of free speech and democratic debate that the United States and Israel share. But Congresswoman Omar's use of anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel's supporters is deeply offensive. We condemn these remarks and we call upon Congresswoman Omar to immediately apologize for these hurtful comments "As Democrats and as Americans, the entire Congress must be fully engaged in denouncing and rejecting all forms of hatred, racism, prejudice and discrimination wherever they are encountered." 1:27 PM-11 Feb 2019

Listening and learning, but standing strong 💪🏽

İlhan Omar @llhanMN Follow Listening and learning, but standing strong Anti-Semitism is real and I am grateful for Jewish allies and colleagues who are educating me on the painful history of anti-Semitic tropes. My intention is never to offend my constituents or Jewish Americans as a whole. We have to alwavs be willing to step back and think through criticism just as I expect people to hear me when others attack me for my identity. This is why I unequivocally apologize At the same time, I reaffirm the problematic role of lobbyists in our politics, whether it be AIPAC, the NRA or the fossil fuel industry. It's gone on too long and we must be willing to address it. 2:46 PM-11 Feb 2019
