My latest at PJ Media:
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) recently published a graphic featuring the delightful visage of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Gaza) with the legend: “For Ilhan Omar, there is no difference between America and the Taliban, between Israel and Hamas, between democracies and terrorists. Tell Rep. Omar: Condemn terrorists, not America.”
This crude and ugly threat that Omar allegedly received is so many worlds away from AIPAC’s graphic that Slevin felt the need for an explanatory follow-up: “It shouldn’t have to be stated, but baselessly linking Muslim-Americans to terrorism is *the* textbook example of Islamophobia and is routinely used to silence advocacy for Palestinian human rights.”
Where did AIPAC link Muslim-Americans to terrorism? Nowhere, of course. Its graphic was based on one of Omar’s most infamous tweets: “We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity. We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the U.S., Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban. I asked @SecBlinken where people are supposed to go for justice.”
Yes, that’s right: She equated the United States and Israel, both of which go out of their way to avoid civilian casualties, with jihad terror groups that target civilians and use them as human shields. So AIPAC is entirely correct: She doesn’t make any distinction in that tweet between “America and the Taliban, between Israel and Hamas, between democracies and terrorists.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Ilhan Omar’s Office Claims AIPAC Putting Her ‘Life at Risk’ by Criticizing Her
……………..
Just insane. Criticizing Ilhan Omar for comparing America and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban is in no way inciting violence against her. Ludicrous projection.

Poor little cry baby — did some naughty people do something to you? Oh boo hoo diddums !

As an undergrad, Ilhan Omar took the Islamic Melodrama 101 and Islamic Victimology 101 courses.
Islamic Victimology 101.
Course description: our Muslim-only class will learn the techniques of manipulating and hoodwinking the dirty kufaar by using MELODRAMA mingled with secular human rights language and Leftist terms borrowed from neo-Marxism and Post-Modernism. The dirty kufaar won’t know what hit them when you have this vital tactical course under your belt. Recommended for all young Muslim propagandists and taqiyya artists. (also known as Verbal Jihad Course)

Excellent mortimer — and this curriculum is coming to a University, College, and High School near you!

To the Minnesota Muslima, Harry, a fellow Democrat, had it right years ago, “If ya can’t stand the heat, get outta the kitchen,”

Her comments put many people at risk. For her it seems that only comments that criticize Islam put people at risk. But what about people put at risk for exercising their freedom of speech? Is all criticism of Islam hate speech? Even criticism of honor killings, FGM, wife beating, attacking Jews and Christians. These are things that are sacred and should never be questioned, because that would put her life at risk. Don’t these practices also put people’s lives at risk?

Ilhan dear
For selling your womb to an infidel…
some people may do something!

Says a supremacist jihadist psychopath. Pfff.

This young woke useful idiot named Jeremy Slevin conveniently keeps silent while witnessing world wide Genocide committed by Islamic devils. I feel very threaten by his silence and he’s put me at risk of being killed… blah at you
Roland says
This is surely a new definition of “chutzpah”.

If she isn’t spewing outright hatred, racism (real racism against the Jews, not the phoney and hyped up racism that the left pushes), and negativity then she is wailing and whining like so many do. I guess we could call it jihad by wailing and whining – the attempt to shut people up from criticizing her and islam. Sorry chickee poo – we are just calling it like it is after it spews from your big yap. Irony is that she doesn’t feel the same problem when she spews her hatred, but only when called out about it.
OLD GUY says
Omars life is at risk, she is a traitor. What did she expect. She doesn’t appreciate that she lives in a civilized country, her life in many other countries would be worthless.

Who is threatening Omar? I’m afraid this is just calumny.
