Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) tweeted that there is “no way in hell” she is attending Herzog’s address. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said she is “not planning to” attend the speech. Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) said he “probably is going to be boycotting” Herzog’s address. Congressmuslim Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) declined to say whether or not she will attend…but there’s a 100% certainty that she will, considering her professed beliefs that Israel has no right to exist.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog will address a joint meeting of Congress on July 19, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced. “The purpose of the visit by President Herzog mirrors Speaker McCarthy’s recent bipartisan trip to Israel—to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the statehood of Israel and reaffirm the special relationship between our two nations,” McCarthy said in a statement.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hasn’t been invited to the White House, as is customary, since being sworn into office because of Joe Biden’s covert hatred for him and the Jewish state.
CAIR Hamas-linked CAIR is encouraging members of Congress to join the small handful of House members who say they will boycott Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s address to a joint session of Congress on July 19 due to the Israeli government’s escalating human rights abuses against the Palestinian people.
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said she is “not planning to” attend the speech. Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) said he “probably going to be boycotting” Herzog’s address.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) declined to say whether she will attend,
In a statement, CAIR National Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell said:
“We commend those members of Congress who have decided to skip the speech by Israeli president Isaac Herzog, who is the public face of a far-right, racist, and increasingly violent government that is even targeting American citizens of Palestinian heritage.
“Just as Indian President Modi should not have been embraced by Congress given his government’s extremism and human rights abuses, Israeli President Herzog should not be given a platform to whitewash the systematic and escalating human rights abuses that even Israeli human rights groups have described as apartheid.
We urge other members of Congress to both boycott the speech and call on the Israeli government to end the occupation and oppression of Palestinians, including Palestinian-Americans.”
In February, the radical Omar was removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee, partly because of her virulent anti-Semitism.
NY Post In 2019, Israel has made a decision to deny entry to US Congressmuslims Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib over their BDS support. ‘We won’t allow those who deny our right to exist in this world enter Israel,’ Tzipi Hotovely says, after Donald Trump allegedly urged Jerusalem to impose entry ban.
The reason cited for their ban is reportedly “their unrelenting provocations and promotion of BDS,” a reference to the anti-Israel boycott movement, according to the Times of Israel, which cited a report by local Channel 12. Interior Minister Aryeh Deri made the decision to bar the US lawmakers from entering the country on Friday, according to the report.
The freshman lawmakers — the first two Muslim women elected to Congress and two of Israel’s sharpest critics — have voiced support for terror group Hamas and the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement against the Jewish state.
National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson Will Reinert said in a press release, “How long will House Democrats allow this rabid anti-Semitism to grow in their ranks?”

Islam is a mental illness. Why can’t Muslims be confined under the Baker Act ?

Those are great!
The Rationalist says
To be perfectly honest: Iihan Omar does not belong at all in the USA government. She knows nothing at all about the USA government and does not desire to know so. The USA government has a centuries old policy of negotiating with two opposing figures, even if they are very opposing. During the Vietnam War, there talks with Ho Chi Min. During the cold wars, there were talks with Chinese leader Mao Tse Tung and Russian leaders as Michail Gorbachev, and Boris Yeltsin. Ilhan Omar’s policies are un-American and are actually designed to hurt America by not trying to reasonably bring peace throughout the world.

Her brand of diplomacy will get us all killed.
BareNakedIslam says
Diplomacy? She doesn’t know the meaning of the word. She’s only in office because she lives in a Somali Muslim dominant area and her campaign was funded by Muslim Brotherhood front groups like CAIR.
The Tasmanian Devil says
I used to think that our Founders were so wise they guarded against everything but I was wrong.
They missed Muslims.
BareNakedIslam says
There weren’t enough Muslims in the country back then to notice.
David says
They didn’t know about Islam. Had they known I am sure Islam would have been specifically banned in the first amendment by name.
BareNakedIslam says
Indeed.
Conrad Calvano says
@BNI: Jefferson did own a Koran, and in his earlier debates contended that Islam ‘stifled free inquiry’. Alas, no body saw the threat posed by this cult to the beloved nation they founded!
BareNakedIslam says
Yes, now I remember. Was that the time US forces were fighting against the Barbary (aka Muslim pirates?
Ramez Fekry says
Yes, IIRC, it was Thomas Jefferson who, as CinC, declared war on the Moslem Barbary Pirates who had been capturing White Christians ✝️ for slavery and ransom, given that the U.S.M.C.’s hymn included, “From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli!”
BareNakedIslam says
Semper Fi!
VMS says
Yes. From the Halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli in 1805 to end the First Barbary War. Marine lieutenants by the name of Eaton and O’Bannon were sent by Thomas Jefferson to lead the marines and a contingent of Greek Christian and Arab mercenaries in a 500 mile trek from Cairo to Derna (modern day Libya). Their Arab mercenaries mutinied on the way, but were defeated by the Greeks and the marines. They successfully took heavily fortified Derna with support from US naval vessels, at the cost of only 2 marines and a handful of Greek mercenaries. They were halfway toTripoli when they got word to turn back to Egypt, because the US State Dept. made a treaty with the Muslim ruler of Tripoli. Eaton was furious, deeming the treaty a “sell-out.” He and his marines could have easily taken Tripoli and raised a US flag (then15 stars), as they did in Derna. Perhaps history would have changed where control of that region would have shifted from Ottoman to US control.
Note that the author of the Marine hymn deliberately got the order of Montezuma and Tripoli wrong so the song would flow better.
BareNakedIslam says
Thanks for refreshing my memory. Mr BNI has talked about the Barbary wars several times but I never knew about the word reversal in the USMC hymn.
