On Monday, the “squad” member of the House of Representatives, Ilhan Omar, tweeted out that “Palestinian lives matter. Pass it on.” However, fellow congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was having none of it, and she fired right back, saying, “Jewish lives matter. So tell your terrorists buddies in Hamas to stop bombing them.”Green definitely tore Omar a new one, and with good reason.
According to Fox News, Omar has become well-known in the past for her anti-Israel comments, and this actually led to the House passing a resolution condemning “bigotry, racism, Islamophobia, and anti-Semitism.” Omar should have listened to the resolution, but judging from her track record it would have fallen on deaf ears anyway.
If Omar were the only one in congress who held these views it would be bad enough. However, she has a willing audience with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib. First of all, AOC fired back after she heard President Biden’s current statement regarding the recent violence, claiming that the president was giving little context to the situation and was “only siding with the occupation.”
Likewise, Rashida Tlaib said that she felt that Israel continues to “promote racism and dehumanization” and that the country has developed an “apartheid system” that is continually discriminating against Palestinians. Good grief, it’s pretty when these three are so liberal that I feel the need to defend President Biden, but boy do we have some radicals in the U.S. Congress!
I suppose you could say that it is radicals defending radicals, because the Palestinians have a long history of horrendous violence against Israel, especially within the group Hamas. This group is actually considered a terrorist organization not only by the United States, but also Japan, the EU, Canada, and of course Israel as well.
What do you think about these three radicals and how Marjorie Green handled herself against one of them? As always, your comments are absolutely appreciated!
