I’m just gonna say it. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are seahags of the highest order, and I hate those two harpies with the fury of a billion suns. They are the most anti-American Congresspeople we’ve ever had the misfortune of being represented by, and that’s really saying something given how hard so many elected officials suck.
But yeah – Omar and Tlaib are the worst. And they proved it again this weekend.
Let’s start with Omar and get her out of the way. Here was her response to the needless, unprovoked attack by Hamas on Israel:
How many more protesters must be shot, rockets must be fired, and little kids must be killed until the endless cycle of violence ends?

The status quo of occupation and humanitarian crisis in Gaza is unsustainable. Only real justice can bring about security and lasting peace.
What has brought about a humanitarian crisis in Gaza? Its leadership, which is Hamas, which is a terrorist organization, which is completely and absolutely and totally not the fault of Israel whatsoever. Israel hasn’t been in Gaza since 2005. Gaza isn’t “occupied.” If Hamas stopped firing rockets at Israel today, then guess what! There would be security and lasting peace. This isn’t rocket science (no pun intended.)
I’d love to know what “real justice” looks like to Ilhan Omar.
Nikki Haley for the win again:
Imagine if 600 rockets had been fired into the US or any other country besides Israel. What country would not defend itself? Every Presidential candidate needs to weigh in on their thoughts on this attack. Go ahead….we’ll wait. 🇺🇸

Exactly. So what – Hamas fires hundreds of rockets at Israel and they’re supposed to do…nothing? AW HELL NO. You’re damn right they retaliated with air strikes.
David Steinberg had a thing or two to say to Ilhan:
ISRAEL LEFT GAZA YEARS AGO, you despicable liar https://t.co/XiR6fB9SC3

The humanitarian crisis is entirely created by the monstrous Hamas government, which was shooting Gazans as they protested it peacefully last month, and is only tolerable because Israel sends the Gazan people massive amounts of aid — as you know.

If you are capable of lying about this, you are capable of lying about anything. Including to a judge, in 2017, at least 8 times.

Yup.
And Rashida Tlaib was just as awful:
When will the world stop dehumanizing our Palestinian people who just want to be free? Headlines like this & framing it in this way just feeds into the continued lack of responsibility on Israel who unjustly oppress & target Palestinian children and families. #FreePalestine https://t.co/p3X3j8WtwM

“Our” Palestinian people, she said. WTF does that mean? Because she swore an oath on the United States constitution, which has zippo to do with any other people but citizens of the United States.
By the way, the only thing incorrect about the NYT’s headline was the fact that they drastically underreported the number of rockets militants fired. It was 700, not 250.
Perhaps people would be more sympathetic to Palestinians if they weren’t teaching their kids to celebrate Israeli deaths, and raising them to be suicide bombers. There’d be a lot more sympathy for them if they rejected being led by terrorists.
But no. Instead, Israel has to deal with this crap:
Its nearly 1am.

Air-raid sirens are sounding in southern Israel signaling incoming rocket fire from Gaza.
Parents are waking their children and rushing them to bomb shelters.
This must stop.
Here’s an inconvenient truth for hags like Tlaib. Israel has the capability, right now, to completely annihilate Gaza. They don’t, because ISRAEL WANTS PEACE. All they want is to exist, peacefully. Hamas wants death to Israel, and so there’s no peace. Not sure why that’s so tough for people like Rashida to understand.
