Ilhan Omar: ‘Appalling’ Biden Would Allow Weapons to Be Sent to Israel

Jacob Bliss 17 May 2021

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), in a statement Monday, said the “United States should not stand idly by” allowing casualties to rise in Gaza while President Joe Biden lets “precision-guided weaponry” be given to Israel “without any strings attached.”

“The violence in Israel and the Gaza Strip is spiraling out of control,” Omar said in the statement. The congresswoman has blamed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for “at least 1,505 casualties in Gaza, including 200 deaths, 59 of them children.”

She added Israel is going ahead with this, with the “direct funding and military assistance from the United States of America.”

“It would be appalling for the Biden administration to go through with $735 million in precision-guided weaponry to Netanyahu without any strings attached in the wake of escalating violence and attacks on civilians,” Omar continued to say in her statement when referring to Netanyahu.

In her statement, Omar had also called out the attacks from Hamas by mentioning the “indiscriminate” attacks that have killed at least ten Israelis and two children, saying, “to be clear, this is also a war crime.”

“We should be standing unequivocally and consistently on the side of human rights—holding all state and non-state actors accountable for their crimes and using every tool at our disposal to end the violence and bring about peace,” Omar later added.

Omar finished by saying, “We should be affirming the right of all people, regardless of their faith, to have self-determination and equal rights. That includes both Israelis and Palestinians because, yes, Palestinian lives matter.”

Jihad Spice is so predicable with her Jew Hate.

Funny...virtually every one of the countless stories I've read about the Israeli-Muzzie conflicts for the past fifty years involves the Muzzies precipitating the violence by attacking/murdering Israelis.
The incidents of Israelis randomly murdering Muzzies have been pretty rare.
I can't believe outsiders aren't aware of the situation of mostly worthless Muzzies attempting to murder citizens of the only country in the middle east, Israel, that's worth anything.
By itself Israel easily contributes more to science, technology, medicine, etc. than all the mideast Muzzie countries combined. Why is that?
Maybe it's because Israelis are interested in building their country and contributing to the world instead of hoping to kill all infidels.

We need to stop sending munitions to everyone over there and get the hell out of the snake pit called the Middle East.  We've done enough.

This is because the Israeli occupation is 54 years old.
