Ilhan Under Attack

In recent weeks, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar has brought to light the issue of Israel, criticism of its occupation, and its influence on American policy and lawmakers through lobby groups such as AIPAC.

Since then, she has received a wave of vicious attacks - from characterizing her as anti-semitic to calling on her removal from her position on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. In the latest action taken against the representative, Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that the House is moving to vote on a resolution that, while doesn't mention Omar by name, is meant to condemn her and her words. 

​

Anti-Black and Anti-Muslim attacks

"Last Friday, an anti-Muslim poster that likened Omar to a 9/11 terrorist triggered mayhem in the West Virginia Capitol building. Omar was also allegedly on a now-arrested self-avowed white nationalist’s hit list, and the FBI is investigating graffiti found in February in Minnesota that called for her assassination."

"The hypocrisy behind the attacks on Rep. Ilhan Omar is breathtaking,” Rebecca Vilkomerson, executive director of Jewish Voice for Peace, told VICE News. “It has never been more important to be able to distinguish between critiquing the State of Israel — what Rep. Omar has been doing — and discrimination against Jewish people. Meanwhile, the outrageous attacks she is facing in calling her a terrorist because she is a Muslim — and especially those by the West Virginia GOP – show the depth of Islamophobia in the U.S. I’m proud to stand with Ilhan."

Making Waves

Omar is one of only two Muslim women ever elected to Congress, along with Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. Both women are among the only vocal critics of Israel in Congress as well as the only two members of Congress to openly support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel for human-rights abuses in the occupied territories.
