The anti-Semite Muslim said that she "almost chuckle[s]" when the Jewish state is described as a democracy, a remark she made on a Yahoo! News interview on Tuesday.
She also likes Venezuela's dictator and other U.S. adversaries.
When she was asked about how the U.S. can facilitate the peace process between Israelis and Palestinians, she criticized the U.S. for not having “an equal approach” in dealing with both sides, not realizing that Israel is an ally and the so-called Palestinians are not.
“Most of the things that have been aggravating to me is that we have had a policy that makes one superior to the other. And we mask it with a conversation about justice and a two-state solution. When you have policies that clearly prioritize one over the other,” she said.

“I mean just our relationship with the Israeli government and the Israeli state. And so when I see Israel institute laws that recognize it as a Jewish state and does not recognize the other religions that are living in it,” she said, because she is clueless and not very fair-minded.
“And we still uphold it as a democracy in the Middle East I almost chuckle because I know that if we see that any other society we would criticize it, call it out,” the lawmaker continued. “We do that to Iran, we do that to any other place that sort of upholds its religion. And I see that now happening with Saudi Arabia and so I am aggravated, truly, in those contradictions.”
The truth is, Israel is superior to the Palestinians in several ways. To begin, let's look at Israel and where it stands in terms of democracy and fairness:
1. According to the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics, in 2013, the Israeli population was comprised of 1,658,000 Arabs, or 21 percent of the population. Arabs in the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem living there after the 1967 Six Day War, were offered Israeli citizenship. While most turned it down, they were given permanent residency status with a future option of becoming citizens.
2. There are three main Arab political parties in Israel: a) Hadash, which is a joint Arab-Jewish party; b) Balad; and c) United Arab List, which is a coalition of political organizations including Islamic Movement in Israel and Ta'al. There are no Israeli-Jewish political parties in the Palestinian Authority. In fact, there are no living Jews in so-called Palestine that are free to walk the streets.
3. Palestinian Arabs sat in Israel's very first parliamentary assembly in 1949.
4. In 2011, 13 of the 120 members of the Israeli Parliament are Arab citizens, compared to zero Israelis in the Palestinian Authority government in any context.
5. There is one Arab on the Israeli Supreme Court. There are no Israelis involved in any capacity with Palestinian law.
6. In 2004, then-Prime Minister of Israel, Ariel Sharon, declared that every state-run company must have at least one Arab on its board of directors.
7. In 2015, there were 18 Arabs elected to the Knesset. There are no Israelis in the Palestinian Authority.
Omar's anti-Semitic comments sparked condemnation on social media, with former New York state Assemblyman Dov Hikind, a Democrat, criticizing her comparing Israel with Iran.
“Who objects to Saudi Arabia being Islamic? Or any of the other 48 Muslim states? The issue with Iran isn’t their state religion; it’s their terror-loving leaders that are condemned. @IlhanMN needs to learn about the world before she’s out of excuses for her antisemitism,” he wrote.
Jim Hanson, president of Security Studies Group who also served in U.S. Army Special Forces, meanwhile, accused Omar of being an “anti-Semite” and lamented that she’s a member of Congress.
“@IlhanMN is an anti-Semite. Give her an opportunity to speak her mind & like most bigots she'll tell you. She laughs at the idea Israel is a democracy & compares it to Iran. Shameful to have those ideas represented in Congress,” he wrote.

This isn’t the first time Omar has been slammed for her comments regarding Israel. She had to apologize earlier this month for a tweet that read: “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. #Gaza #Palestine#Israel.”
Yeah, the evil doings of Israel--that's why Hamassholes hurl stones and fire rockets and mortars at Israeli school buses and kill families, mothers, fathers and babies while they sleep. They do it to stop Israeli evil.
Like Antifa stops fascism.
I hope that 2019 will be the year you follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
