Ilhan Omar Doubles Down on Israel Remarks, Sparking Outrage

Adam Milstein, of the Milstein Family Foundation which works to establish strong ties between the U.S. and Isreal, tweeted: “Ilhan Omar doubles down on comments comparing the U.S. to the Taliban. Shameful from a member of U.S. Congress.”

Stop Antisemitism, a non-profit group, said: “Shocking – Ilhan Omar is refusing to take any accountability for her obscene antisemitism.

“Instead she has the audacity to blame Jewish members of Congress. When will this vile bigot finally be censured and properly reprimanded by her party. Enough is enough.”

The Republican Jewish Committee also hit out at Rep. Omar and added: “Will @USJewishDems join us in calling out Ilhan Omar for saying Jewish members of Congress aren’t ‘partners in justice?’ Or, is the JDCA (Jewish Democratic Council of America) and @HallieSoifer going to show us all, once again, that they’re frauds?”
