Omar 15 minutes may be up
She scares the shit out of you... good.
Actually not a big fan of hers myself. Too much hate speech comes from her.
But then, your definition of hate speech is being assertive about the problems of minority communities.
Actually, no. Dumbfuck.
Her particular kind of hate speech is well documented.
Let's just it doesn't start with, "Yo, Semites!"
My apologies. You are scratching a different itch this morning. I will amend:
But then your definition of hate speech is being critical of Israel while Muslim.
You should stick to defining speech for yourself, not me.
Because I tend to deal with what's reality, not your perception of it.
Being critical of Israel is one thing, but trafficking in the usual anti-Semitic tropes that too many Muslims and others use is another.
“I think if you vote for a Democrat, you are very, very disloyal to Israel and to the Jewish people,” Trump said in an exchange with reporters outside the White House before departing for an event in Kentucky.
On Tuesday, Trump had criticized Democrats over the views of Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). Both women have long been fierce critics of Israel and its treatment of Palestinians. They support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, a global protest of Israel.
He had accused Jewish people of “great disloyalty” if they vote for Democrats, although he did not say at the time disloyalty to whom.

I support BDS as I did against South Africa.
Israel today is not the Israel of the early 90s when my partners and I were representing basketball players for Hopoel Hulon.
In an interview, Omar Barghouti, a top B.D.S. spokesman, called the Israeli laws racist and exclusionary. A democratic state could still provide asylum for Jewish refugees, showing “some sensitivity to the Jewish experience,” he said, “but it cannot be a racist law that says only Jews benefit.”
Asked if that means Jews cannot have their own state, he said, “Not in Palestine.”Source: Nytimes
Some other quotes gathered for you from BDS leaders:
“If the refugees were to return, you would not have a two-state solution, you’d have a Palestine next to a Palestine.”
–Omar Barghouti quoting Sari Nusseibeh, President of Al Quds University. You can also hear him say this around 4:56 of this video.
“The ‘two state solution,’…as dictated by Israel, omits basic Palestinian rights…[and] would be yet another act of British complicity in bestowing legitimacy on Israel’s unjust order.”
–Omar Barghouti
“A Jewish state in Palestine in any shape or form cannot but contravene the basic rights of the indigenous Palestinian population and perpetuate a system of racial discrimination that ought to be opposed categorically….Definitely, most definitely we oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine. No Palestinian, rational Palestinian, not a sell-out Palestinian, will ever accept a Jewish state in Palestine.”
–Omar Barghouti
“You cannot reconcile the right of return for refugees with a two state solution….a return for refugees would end Israel’s existence as a Jewish state. A two-state solution was never moral and it’s no longer working.”
-Omar Barghouti
“[Jews] did not suffer in Arab countries. There were no pogroms. There was no persecution.”
–Omar Barghouti
“The BDS movement was launched because of the ongoing failure to protect the rights of the Palestinian people. Some of these rights were frittered away: The Right of Return is in danger, the right of our people to the 1948 lands is in danger, and even the right of our people to the 1967 lands. Some of these rights are ignored. The BDS movement was created in 2005, in order to focus on the elimination of the occupation, on the elimination of the system of racial segregation – the Israeli apartheid – and on the right of the refugees to return to the homes from which they were expelled.”
- Omar Barghouthi
“I clearly do not buy into the two-state solution.”
–Omar Barghouti
“If Israel finds a cure for cancer, for example, or any other virus, then there is no problem in cooperating with Israel to save millions of lives.”
–Omar Barghouti
——————————————————————————————-
“The real aim of BDS is to bring down the state of Israel….That should be stated as an unambiguous goal. There should not be any equivocation on the subject. Justice and freedom for the Palestinians are incompatible with the existence of the state of Israel.”
–As’ad AbuKhalil
That's who you support.
