The Israeli army is just shooting anyone they think is Palestinian, much the same way that Israel is indiscriminately bombing all of Gaza, including the “safe zones” where they have directed noncombatant civilians to go right before they bomb them anyway. It’s war crimes, plain and simple.

"It is glaring hypocrisy when you have Republicans on the other side of the aisle trying to create definitions and saying 'Rashida wants to annihilate people' when Max Miller himself went on TV and said 'we're turning Gaza into a parking lot and we want to annihilate Palestinians.' Nobody condemned him on that side of the aisle. What is true here is that every single one of them [Republicans] has not acknowledged the fact that Palestinians are dying in their tens of thousands but will continue to say it is us who are not acknowledging humanity. Rashida will stand strong and the Palestinian movement will continue for liberation until every single Palestinian has the right to live in liberty."

Somali-American representative, Ilhan Omar's responding to Palestinian-American representative, Rashida Tlaib's censuring in congress. November 9, 2023.

Rep. Ilhan Omar To Introduce First Bill To Block U.S. Weapons For Israel Since Gaza War Began

The Minnesota Democrat is taking aim at a $320 million package of bomb equipment that the Biden administration wants to provide to Israel's military.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) will this week introduce legislation to disapprove of a multimillion-dollar package of bomb equipment for Israel proposed by the Biden administration, a source familiar with her plans told HuffPost ― posing the first congressional challenge to the U.S.’s policy of uninterrupted and expanding military support for Israel amid its deadly campaign in Gaza. Omar will by Wednesday file a bill known as a “resolution of disapproval” targeting a $320 million sale of gear for precision guidance kits for bombs, the source said, likely with a group of fellow Democratic lawmakers as co-sponsors. If the House of Representatives and the Senate both pass such a resolution, the administration would not be able to transfer the bomb equipment unless President Joe Biden vetoed the bill.

The language (you can read it in full here on congress dot gov)

Resolved, That the House of Representatives— (1) reaffirms the State of Israel’s right to exist; (2) recognizes that denying Israel’s right to exist is a form of antisemitism; (3) rejects calls for Israel’s destruction and the elimination of the only Jewish State; and (4) condemns the Hamas-led terrorist attack on Israel.

House Bill 888.

Posted December 3rd, 2023

All 435 house seats are up for grabs this election.

34 seats in the Senate are up for grabs.

A foreign lobby group wielding this much influence is insane. Coupled with the fact that most journalists, students, academics, activists and artists being expelled, fired, persecuted and disproportionately penalised are BIPOC, it seems like white supremacists are using this opportunity as a concerted effort to push minorities out of every institution of influence. It's nothing less than a bipartisan attack by the white establishment on civil rights.

If y'all do not fight like hell for these people US minorities will be fucked no matter how much you vote.

DeSantis is calling for a US representative to be denaturalized and deported.

The apparent cause? Said representative, Ilhan Omar, is a naturalized Somali-American citizen who recently gave a speech where she referred to herself as "Somali first, and Muslim second," without mentioning America.

“Expel from Congress, denaturalize and deport,” urged Ron DeSantis about U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, who is taking criticism from the Right for comments she made privileging Somalia over the United States.

As Newsweek notes, Omar recently told a crowd of Somali American constituents that she was “Somalian first, Muslim second” and “here to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the U.S. system.”

She also claimed that while she is in Congress, “no one will take Somalia’s sea. The United States will not back others to rob us.” There, she was objecting to a deal struck by Somaliland to give Ethiopia access to the ocean.

- Florida Politics

I'm not going to comment on the discussion of who deserves to own the disputed territories she's actually talking about in her speech, because quite frankly I barely know enough about that area to understand why Italy caused the Ethiopia/Eritrea/Djibouti port access issue, but I will say that it is a frankly ridiculous cause for STRIPPING SOMEONE OF THEIR CITIZENSHIP AND DEPORTING THEM. The woman was talking about her ethnic and cultural background and promising to protect people of that specific background. This is a normal thing for politicians to do. It's often their platform.

And let's not pretend that "I will strengthen ties with/support this ally" is uncommon. It's just usually the EU or Israel or something, instead of Somalia.

... possibly the actual cause, politically, is that she has been supporting Rep. Tlaib in pro-Palestine activities, and has been calling for reparations to be paid to the families of civilians killed by US operations in Somalia.

“Congress appropriates $3 million every year specifically to make payments to civilian victims and survivors of U.S. operations,” Omar said. “However, those funds have never been used in Somalia — despite confirmed civilian deaths there.”

- The Intercept

So, you know. Her other "hold America accountable in the middle east" activities probably are part of this.

Plus the usual racism, misogyny, and Islamophobia of the GOP.

The Republican Party is one of thee most racist, antisemitic hate groups in recent history. I almost said that they have some nerve accusing anyone else of being antisemitic, but then I remembered how the GOP just spent the last two years employing the “big lie” about Trump winning the last election, and how they adhere to the Joseph Goebbels method of always accusing others of doing what they themselves are guilty of.

Ilhan Omar on the ridiculous hypocrisy and double standard of a failure to condemn the atrocities committed by Israel every day and night: "Israel has dropped more bombs in the last 30 days than we (America) dropped in Afghanistan in a year. Where is your humanity? Where is your outrage?! "

For context, Ilhan Omar was kicked off the Foreign Affairs Committee by Republicans, supposedly for antisemitism. However, Marjorie Taylor Green, the Jewish space laser lady, is now on the Oversight and Homeland Security Committees.

Note: I'm not condoning anyone's antisemitism if Ilhan is indeed guilty of that. What I'm in support of is anyone calling the GOP out on their hypocrisy and blatant racism and islamophobia. Let's not forget Bobert's disgusting comments about Omar. The antisemitism is just a good excuse. It would be nice if they actually cared, but I guarantee you they don't.
