Omar announced yesterday that she will introduce a measure in the House endorsing the boycott movement against Israel, cheering it as a "Non-violent" rebuke to Israel.
At least one of those congresswomen - Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota - is about to drop her own resolution that may not go over so well with Democratic leadership.
8/ A few House Dems noted that Omar and Tlaib just introduced a resolution affirming the right of Americans to boycott, perceived as an expression of support for the anti-Israel BDS movement that most House Dems oppose.
Perhaps unaware of the irony, Omar proposes to follow up her endorsement of boycotting Israel by, er, visiting Israel.
If Omar needs to "Learn more," then why introduce an anti-Israel resolution in the House? Why not go there first, get an education, and then make a decision on policy issues? This is nothing more than a shameless ploy for attention, so threadbare that it exposes Omar's ignorance and radicalism.
Neither Omar nor Tlaib are terribly experienced politicians, which might mean they'll be in way over their head. Even if they're not Netanyahu will be able to claim that he has nothing to fear from their visit - and neither does anyone else, which makes the BDS movement silly and pointless.
As the House drama over impeachment overshadowed everything, Rep. Lee Zeldin reminded everyone that the BDS movement shrugs off any issues with Hamas, "a designated foreign terrorist organization." Why are Omar and Tlaib endorsing a movement that won't distance itself from terrorists?
