House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that she welcomed a clarification from Rep. Ilhan Omar over a tweet about Israel that critics on both sides of the aisle said had unfairly compared the U.S. and Israel to terrorist groups.
In a written statement, Pelosi, D-Calif., said that “drawing false equivalencies between democracies like the U.S. and Israel and groups that engage in terrorism like Hamas and the Taliban foments prejudice and undermines peace and security for all.
“We welcome the clarification by Congresswoman Omar that there is no moral equivalency between the U.S. and Israel and Hamas and the Taliban,” Pelosi continued.
I didn't see if any of you discussed the ridiculous Omar and her full idiocy being on display this week. Here is a woman who is freely elected in a country in which she has rights that no woman has with Hamas, the Palestinians, and the Taliban, and she puts Israel and the US in the same category.
The silence from the leftist wing of the Democratic Party is not at all golden.
You keep missing the point.
What she says may be considered unsavory but at bottom she isn’t wrong. Too much hyperbole for my taste but I understand where she’s coming from.
The situation in the ME is in so many varying shades of grey your absolutism is misplaced.
Talk about missing the point!
The US and Israel are NOT terrorist organizations committed to a patriarchal society in which women have little or no tights and hold no positions of power. Tlaib and Omar would have no voice with the Taliban, the Palestinians, of Hamas, yet use their freedom here to support regimes that abuse women as a matter of routine.
Sorry, but they're idiots. They're free to express their idiocy, but they're "point" is as full of shit as anyone who days they have one.
Unfortunately for you they are American Members of Congress and can say what they believe.
The US and Israel’s policies in dealing with Palestinians is what keeps Hamas relevant.
Like Peggy Noonan said in your excerpt:
“Good policy is good politics.”
Keep the electricity and water on 24/7. Allow freedom of movement so people can earn livings and dial back on the settlements.
Folks with hope and ambition don’t have time to fuck around with terrorists.
