Tweets by 'Squad' illustrate their anti-Israel obsession

If Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) could be summed up in one sentence over her hatred of Israel and the Jewish people it would be the line from Brokeback Mountain: "I wish I knew how to quit you." She cannot stop hating on the Jewish State and the same goes for her fellow 'squadettes,' Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Alexandria Obviously-Compost (D-NY). 

Rather than targeting the injustice of the 193 other countries in the world, they can't quit Israel. 

So when Omar was kicked off the House Foreign Affairs Committee [and she has had plenty of them] for her constant anti-Semitic/anti-Israel remarks, her cohorts in the House had a cow.

Omar can deny being a Jew-hate, but her social media posts speak volumes as those of her squad colleagues do as well. These congresswomen are supposed to be representing their own constituents but seem to spend an inordinate amount of time focused on Israel while implying that the Palestinians are the victims of the Jews, who are also practicing apartheid. The latter claim is totally dishonest--there are many Muslims in Israel's knesset while the Palestinians boast of zero Israelis in their government.

An online activist who runs the “Political Jew” Instagram account analyzed 12 months of online activity by Ilhan Omar, AOC, and Rashida Tlaib and the results show just how preoccupied and obsessed they are with Israel.

In a post entitled “The Squad: 12 Month of Double Standards,” Political Jew tracked tweets by the three lawmakers related to foreign affairs, dividing them into (1) tweets about Israel, and (2) tweets about the other 193 countries in the world. It notes that the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) defines, in part, "antisemitism" as "applying double standards [to Israel] by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation."

The post defines “double standard” as “a rule or principle which is unfairly applied in different ways to different people or groups.”

In 2021, Political Jew found that 79% of Ilhan Omar’s tweets on foreign affairs targeted Israel, with AOC at 75% and Tlaib at 90%. [The other 25% of AOC's was mostly about the men who want to date her, cooking on Instagram, and climate change.]

In 2022, 51 of Omar’s 107 tweets on foreign affairs (48%) targeted Israel, while the world's worst human rights abusers received a tiny fraction of her tweets (China – 3.8%, Russia 17%, Saudi Arabia 17.9%).

Omar hardly tweeted about Iran and there wasn't even a slice on the pie chart that could have filled a cavity. [Venn diagrams were not used in the analysis as they are reserved for VP Kamala Hahahaharris.]

For reference, a woman who improperly wore the hijab died in Iranian custody in 2022, and the Islamic Republic murdered in cold-blood protesters on the street, in addition to sentencing others to death.

Rashida Tlaib’s anti-Israel obsession in 2022 was much more prolific than Omar’s with 46 of 52 tweets about foreign affairs (88.5%) directed against Israel. The others mostly focused on Russia and Israel's ally, the United Arab Emirates.

Five of AOC's tweets of the 13 she posted on foreign affairs (38%) were directed against Israel in 2022.

Combined, almost 63% of the squad members’ foreign affairs tweets focused on Israel in 2022.

So, as Political Jew's statistics indicate [which is pointed out on Instagram] Omar disproportionately focused her foreign affairs tweets on Israel, the world's only Jewish state.

She can pretend not to be anti-Semitic, claim ignorance as to what an anti-Semitic trope is, but her own words prove who she really is, as well as her execrable cohorts. The mere fact that the Democrats allowed her to remain on the Foreign Affairs Committee tells you all you need to know about "party before morality."
