ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA NEWS RELEASE ZOA: Height of Irony & Hypocrisy: Antisemitic, Anti-American, Lying Hate-Monger llhan Omar “Repeatedly Dishes it Out, But She Can’t Take It” Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein and ZOA Director of Special Projects Liz Berney, Esq. released the following statement: It’s the height of irony and hypocrisy that Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who routinely spews the most vicious, incendiary, dangerous, antisemitic and anti-American hate and blood libels, is now demanding that Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-CO) should be removed from Boebert’s committee assignments due to Boebert’s intemperate remarks related to Ilhan Omar’s support for terrorists. In fact, among many other things, Omar wrote to a Minnesota judge demanding reduced sentences for convicted Somali ISIS terrorists. (See more on Omar’s heinous record below.) Omar also hypocritically claimed: “We cannot pretend that this hate speech from leading politicians doesn’t have real consequences.” In fact, it is Ilhan Omar’s antisemitic hate speech that has had real consequences, including the increase in antisemitism & violent attacks in the U.S. In the same tweet, Omar demanded: “@GOPLeader and @SpeakerPelosi need to take appropriate action, normalizing this bigotry not only endangers my life but the lives of all Muslims. Anti-Muslim bigotry has no place in Congress.” Yet, Speaker Pelosi has still taken no action against Omar for repeatedly normalizing anti-Jewish and anti-American bigotry. Ironically, after Congresswoman Boebert said she was fine with getting on an elevator with Ilhan Omar because Omar was not wearing a backpack, Omar tweeted “Saying I am a suicide bomber is no laughing matter.” Yet, Ilhan Omar is infamous for laughing and joking about Al Qaeda, Hezbollah and Al-Shabaab terrorists in a video interview. Omar complained that Americans say the names “Al-Qaeda,” “Al-Shabaab,” and “Hezbollah” as if those names were a bad thing, and blamed U.S. “involvement in other people’s affairs” for terrorism. Moreover, when Boebert graciously called Omar to try to apologize and make peace, Omar rudely hanged up the phone and turned down Boebert’s offer to meet. Omar also leveled false accusations against the entire Republican party: For instance, on Nov. 30, 2021, Omar tweeted: “Trying to come up with the most bigoted ways to traffic Islamophobic tropes is the brand of the Republican party.” As ZOA has long demanded, Ilhan Omar needs to be removed from all her committee assignments.
