Omar is a Somali American and one of the first Muslims elected to Congress. She’s been criticized for remarks in recent months on Israel, Jewish influence in Washington, and 9/11 that have drawn accusations of anti-Semitism and insensitivity. She says criticizing the Israeli government is not anti-Semitic.
In a tweet Friday, Omar said, “The story of Passover has resonated with and given hope to so many Jewish families in times of oppression.”
She also gave a traditional Hebrew Passover greeting.
Omar says she’s faced increased death threats since President Donald Trump spread a video that purports to show her being dismissive of the 2001 terrorist attacks.
I would like to see her face when she finds out that Passover is a Zionist festival.L’ Shana haba BYerushalayim
Cool.
Passover is all about the Benjamins.
did she send the terrorists to Sri Lanka this weekend – to do her job?
Gee, is she starting to get scared about being voted out????
Passover is not a Zionist holiday
Has Omar ever endorsed even a two state solution?
I doubt it.
