Following a press conference in which she deemed Israel not "an ally," Ilhan Omar took to Twitter to lambast her critics. The congresswoman, who found herself barred from entering Israel after her publicly released itinerary demonstrated she and Rashida Tlaib would violate Israeli law and hobnob with boycotters rather than meet with members of the Knesset, decided to respond to the latest charges of anti-Semitism by retweeting an attack by an anti-Semitic website against a progressive Jewish journalist.
In a piece at Mondoweiss (aptly deemed by a Washington Post writer to be a "hate site"), Jonathan Ofir attacked Batya Ungar-Sargon, the liberal opinion editor of The Forward.

The best thing we can do with the "Squad" is ignore them

Nope; just running her racist and religiously bigoted mouth. Same as yesterday; same as tomorrow. Once she's deported to Somalia we'll see coverage of her hateful self taper off.

Who cares ? What about the religious peoples that occupied that land before the Jews, Christians and Muslims. Everyone's historical knowledge is so post AD. There were multiple ancient thriving cultures and civilizations that all this nonsense was borrowed from in the first place. Everyone espouses do the research know the FAKE NEWS. Yeah do some real personal research and delve into history beyond that which affirms your short point of view. Get off line. Go to the library. Religions and political factions both have co-opted our pre-modern histories and actual presence on Earth.
