Ocasio-Cortez defends accusing Israel of genocide in floor speech
From the NBTP: The truth here is that Hamas is the one responsible for genocide; they started the war, and with all wars, civilians pay the ultimate price. In this case, there really is no difference between a terrorist and the civilian population. In fact, the leadership of Hamas believes that winning over the argument, civilian deaths are necessary.
Hamas leader suggests civilian deaths are ‘necessary sacrifices’ in war with Israel: Report
• 1w • 2 min read
Yahya Sinwar, the military leader of Hamas, reportedly suggested civilian deaths are “necessary sacrifices” amid its war with Israel in a message to the terrorist organization’s leaders in Doha, Qatar.
The war between Hamas and Israel, much of it taking place within Gaza and the West Bank, has resulted in thousands of civilian deaths. Many have placed a majority of the blame for the casualties on Israel’s consistent bombing of the region, with some calling it a “genocide” of Palestinians. Israel has strongly denied those accusations.
But Sinwar’s remarks, reported by the Wall Street Journal, indicate that Hamas is willing to continue its war with Israel despite the heavy civilian cost. The report also suggests that with the growing backlash Israel is facing over civilian deaths, he believes Hamas could deal with a depleted Israeli arsenal as allies hesitate to supply the nation further.
“We have the Israelis right where we want them,” Sinwar reportedly said in a recent message to Hamas officials in an attempt to forge an agreement with Qatari and Egyptian officials. Israel previously accused Hamas of using civilians as “human shields.”
The war could have ended as ceasefire negotiations have gone on, but reports indicate that a ceasefire deal has effectively fallen through after Hamas rejected a hostage-release stipulation. Hamas and Israel have struggled to reach an agreement to halt fighting since a November 2023 ceasefire lasting four days.
(continued) Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Sunday defended accusing Israel of genocide against the Palestinian people and advocating for cuts to US military aid until humanitarian relief flows freely in Gaza. Her decision to use the term genocide, as she did during a floor speech on Friday in the House chamber, was “taken with extraordinary gravity,” she said.
While she has openly condemned the violence in Gaza amid Israel’s war against Hamas, Ocasio-Cortez has typically been cautious about labeling Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians as genocide — a distinction in line with her tendency to use more conciliatory rhetoric on Israel than some of her ideological allies. But the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza has “crossed the threshold of intent,” Ocasio-Cortez told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”
“As we speak, in this moment, 1.1 million innocents in Gaza are at famine’s door,” Ocasio-Cortez said in her speech Friday. “A famine that is being intentionally precipitated through the blocking of food and global humanitarian assistance by leaders in the Israeli government.”
Democrats put out the word to the Squad, shut up, you are costing us votes. We love it, sounds like they are sinking the ship with JB at the helm. A Titanic in the making. They have no idea what is in store for them. Especially the interloper, Omar.
CAMPUS MAYHEM WILL INSURE A TRUMP VICTORY – BOOT OMAR FROM THE UNITED STATES
The campus mob has virtually insured the Trump Victory in November. Americans have seen the future under another Biden victory and do not like what they see. The majority of Americans are sick and tired of the ruthless gangs that have taken over college campuses. The Muslim president of Columbia, Hussein’s alma mater, has fanned the flames of anti-Jew hate which spread across the land. We commend Senator Blackburn for defending the rights of the Jewish people and standing up for America.
Senator Blackburn of Tennessee has proposed that these belligerents be placed on the “no fly list.” But the Muslim liar from Somalia took issue with the Senator.
Ilhan Omar attacks Sen. Blackburn’s ‘dangerous stance‘ on Columbia protesters
Ilhan Omar criticized Senator Marsh Blackburn’s stance that students encouraging or committing acts of terror on behalf of Hamas should be put on a watch list and a No Fly List.
United States Rep. Ilhan Omar, in a Tuesday X post, critiqued Senator Marsha Blackburn’s stance that students encouraging or committing acts of terror on behalf of Hamas should be put on both a terrorism watchlist and the US’s No Fly List.
Blackburn posted on X that “any student who has promoted terrorism or engaged in terrorist acts should be immediately added to the terrorist watchlist and placed on the TSA No Fly List.”
In response to the post, Omar wrote, “A sitting senator labels Americans protesting against a foreign country accused of carrying out a genocide funded with our tax dollars as terrorists and puts a target on their back to be attacked. This is insanely dangerous and somehow no one will condemn it.”
Imagine that twerp accusing Israel of Genocide, when the reality is that the pseudo Palestinian Hamas and Hezbollah are responsible for every single death.
THE ILHAN OMAR CON
Ilhan Omar (from Wikipedia)
Omar was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, in October 1982. According to the biography posted on her own website, she lived there for around eight years before her family fled to a refugee camp in Kenya, moving to the United States four years later, and eventually settling in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis in 1997.
In a 2018 interview with the Intercept website’s “Deconstructed” podcast, Omar said she became a naturalized U.S. citizen before she turned 18 years old, explaining that “My father became a citizen and so I got my citizenship through that process.”
In the same interview, she said her family resettled in the U.S. in 1995. Since a would-be naturalized citizen must first live in the U.S. as a permanent resident for five years, 2000 would be the earliest year in which Omar’s father (and Omar herself) could become citizens. Since Omar was born in October 1982, she turned 18 in October 2000. So, based on the sequence of events presented by Omar, it appears she became a U.S. citizen at the age of 17, sometime between January and October 2000 —
Although Omar’s account makes sense, and we found no substantive dispute over it, we were unable to locate any official documentation that supports that version of events. We asked Omar’s spokesperson and district director to provide any official documentation that would confirm the date of her naturalization, but we received no such evidence.
The Congresswoman’s spokesperson reiterated that she became a U.S. citizen in 2000 and pointed out that an individual cannot be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives without demonstrating citizenship, but the spokesperson did not have Omar’s “personal government documents.”
Until and unless evidence of that nature becomes available to us, definitively establishing that Omar became a U.S. citizen in 2000 she has pull off one of the greatest cons in history.

In the AP story, Omar’s replies to all this are those of the victim combined with overtones of the royal “we”:
“We choose not to further the narratives of those who would oppose us” Omar’s statement said, adding that she believes the claims are being made by people who want to stop a black, female Muslim from sitting in Congress.
The chronology of all this, briefly, follows:
- 1982 — Born in Somalia;
- 1991 — Went to refugee camp in Kenya;
- 1995 — Came to United States as a refugee, becoming a citizen at some later point;
- 2002 — Took out a marriage license to marry Ahmed Hirsi (AKA Ahmed Aden), but did not marry him except in a Muslim ceremony; they had two kids;
- 2008 — Parted from Hirsi; a Muslim divorce, not recorded, took place;
- 2009 — Married Ahmed Elmi; a marriage certificate exists;
- 2011 — Parted from Elmi, with a Muslim divorce;
- 2012 — Reunited with Hirsi and had a third child;
- 2017 — Formally divorced Elmi (after being elected to the legislature);
- 2018 — Married (re-married?) Hirsi and was nominated for Congress.
At the very least, a busy lady — one with a fondness for guys named Ahmed.
It is outrageous that her father got a job at the post office when so many of our citizens are unemployed. How did that happen? Secondly, she became a professional nutrition educator at the University of Minnesota. No doctorate here. Omar also wrote, “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.
In November 2021, Republican Representative Lauren Boebert said she had shared an elevator with Omar, and that she and a Capitol Police officer both mistook Omar for a terrorist. Boebert referred to Omar as the “Jihad Squad”. Omar said that she had not shared an elevator with Boebert, that the story was made up, and that Boebert’s comments were “anti-Muslim bigotry”.
Who is Ilhan Omar’s husband?
Omar has been married to Tim Mynett since March 2020.
Mynett, is known as a political consultant whose consulting firm, the E Street Group, received more than $523,000 from Omar’s campaign during the 2020 election cycle.
Omar’s campaign was the E Street Group’s biggest moneymaker.
The connection between Omar’s campaign and Mynett’s consulting firm was brought to national attention by her critics and opponents.
In response to the critics, Omar’s campaign terminated its contract with Mynett’s firm on November 17, 2020, saying the termination was to “make sure that anybody who is supporting our campaign with their time or financial support feels there is no perceived issue with that support.”
The two have also faced rumors that the relationship began as an affair.
Beth Mynett, Tim’s ex-wife, accused the two of having a relationship when she filed for divorce in August 2019.
What happened at Ilhan Omar’s congressional office?
On October 26, 2021, it was reported that there was a suspicious substance found outside her office on Capitol Hill.
While it still remains unclear what the substance was, staff members were told to avoid the area until further notice.
Other offices were seen on the seventh floor of the Longworth House Office Building and were told to shelter in place.
Following an investigation, Capitol Police confirmed that anything hazardous came back negative and the building then reopened.
Has Ilhan Omar been married before?
Throughout her life, the U.S. Representative has been married a total of three times.
Prior to her relationship with Mynett, she was married to Ahmed Hirsi.
The former couple first entered a faith-based marriage in 2002 but then separated in 2008.
After that, Omar then married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, a British Somali, until they got a faith-based divorce in 2011, when she got back with Hirsi.
Despite a 2011 split, Elmi and Omar did not get a legal divorce until 2017.
In 2018, Omar and Hirsi then got legally married but filed for divorce soon after in 2019, citing an “irretrievable breakdown” of the marriage.
Throughout the course of their on and off again relationship, the couple welcomed three children together, Isra, 18, Adnan and Ilwad.
Did Ilhan Omar marry her brother?
Over the years, Omar has faced criticisms of her marriage and claims that she married her brother for years.
Former President Donald Trump fanned the flames of those allegations in July 2019 saying “There’s a lot of talk about the fact that she was married to her brother. I know nothing about it.”
When Omar was seeking a state House seat in 2016, the conservative sites flagged a screenshot of a since deleted Instagram post that was allegedly uploaded by Elmi on June 12, 2012.
The caption of the photograph posted shortly after Omar gave birth to her third child identified Elmi as holding the baby girl, calling her his niece.
