John,
Students across the country are bravely standing up to genocide and
demanding their universities divest from arms dealers enabling the
violence in Gaza. As a result, the GOP and AIPAC-backed members of the
Democratic Party are pushing university administrations to suspend and
arrest their students for exercising their right to free speech. It’s an
appalling example of history repeating itself.
This week, Justice Democrats incumbent and Squad member Rep. Ilhan Omar —
whose daughter was suspended for participating in a peaceful
pro-Palestinian protest at Columbia University the day after Ilhan
questioned the University’s president — spoke to student protestors at the
University of Minnesota, and was promptly attacked for it.
Republican House Majority Whip Tom Emmer posted these disgustingly
Islamophobic comments about Ilhan yesterday:
[ [link removed] ]Screenshot of tweet by Tom Emmer: “Propping up the violent protests
happening around our nation’s college campuses is unacceptable. Once
again, Ilhan Omar’s pro-Hamas rhetoric solidifies the Democrat party as
the pro-terrorist party. Now more than ever, we must protect Jewish
Students.” Retweet from Daily Caller: “Ilhan Omar spoke at a University of
Minnesota pro-Palestine student protest and blasted Biden and the media
for their critical response to protests nationwide.”
Protesting genocide and the suffering of innocent people in Gaza is not
anti-semitic or pro-Hamas, but Republicans like Emmer and AIPAC-funded
establishment Democrats want us to think otherwise as they continue to use
our tax dollars to send billions of unconditional aid to Netanyahu’s
military.
Ilhan is keeping up the fight for human rights both here and abroad, but
she faces a serious threat to her House seat in this August’s primary
election as AIPAC’s super PAC threatens to spend $100 million to unseat
the Squad.

re-elect her by splitting $5 between her campaign and
Justice Democrats now?

Ilhan has faced Islamophobic, racist attacks like this before — but it
won’t stop her from standing on the right side of history and fighting for
our shared progressive values.
Let’s show her that she has the support of the people and ensure she has
the resources necessary to defeat her AIPAC-backed challenger on August
13th.
In solidarity,
