Omar ignites new anti-Semitism controversy with comments on AIPACThe freshman Democrat suggests GOP support for Israel is fueled by campaign donations. I think that the GOP support for Israel is based on Evangelicals that dream of taking over Israel one day. They are one of its biggest donor base. It may be hurtful and it may be the truth. Surprised? MN-5 was Keith Ellison's district for 6 terms despite his long history of sordid association with anti-Semitism. Ilhan Omar Is picking up where Ellison left off.

Congressional Democrats condemn Rep. Ilhan Omar over 'anti-Semitic' tweets about AIPAC and Israel'Congresswoman Omar's use of anti-Semitic tropes and prejudicial accusations about Israel's supporters is deeply offensive,' House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders said in a statement. This is why IlhanMN should not have contained her statements only to right Republicans in power. Left Democrats in power are just as corrupt anti-free speech bigots owned by Israel as the rest. How does one criticize Israel without being accused of anti-Semitism? Someone need to wake the US up from slumber. The killing of children must stop. We all cannot be conscienceless at same time. It's wrong.
