Alan Dershowitz: Ilhan Omar still exposing her “ignorance and bigotry”

US Congresswoman Omar encourages Hamas and Islamic Jihad to fire rockets on Israeli cities by placing blame on the Israeli victims, for what she calls the “cycle of violence,” but has no condemnation on those very groups for initiating terrorist rocket-attacks on the Israeli civilians, or for using their people as human shields.

No Democratic candidate for president condemned Hamas firing 500 rockets

It really is time for #Jexodus!
Traditionally the party of American Jews, with 500 rockets fired, not a single 2020 Democrat presidential candidate issued a statement against the rocket-attack on Israel.

By Mordechai Sones

 

Longtime New York Democrat State Assemblyman, pro-Israel advocate, and current Coalition for a Positive America Chairman Dov Hikind today excoriated the Democratic Party, saying “Hamas rockets fly but Democratic condemnation is nil.”

– Examples include posts of “Heil Hitler,” Jewish MPs being accused of being “Zionist infiltrators,” and blaming Israeli Jews for the 9/11 attacks.
