Democratic U.S. Congressmember Ilhan Omar said outside the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Wednesday [21 August], where members of the “uncommitted” movement launched a sit-in to demand a Palestinian American be allowed to address the convention from the main stage.
Omar said she joined protesters outside the DNC because “there is no compassion in turning our heads away from the piles of dead bodies” in Gaza. “A ceasefire is only possible if we use every leverage that we have, and the biggest leverage that we have is to stop sending bombs,” says Omar, explaining why she is calling for an arms embargo against Israel and an end to “this genocidal war.”
Yes hamas, which was formed due to Israel then later funded by Israeli government, is worse than the country currently genociding the Palestinians…
You know, Hamas is coming after the US next, and once they start attacking Americans, there’s no turning back.
Why would they attack USA?
Funny Israel has killed more Americans than hamas will and nothing changed.
Hamas and their allies consider the U.S. as “Great Satan”, basically their worst enemy. I doubt the punishment we gave to Al Qaeda is enough for them to step down.
This is a scary comment. The comment this was in response to indicated it was wrong to commit genocide on Palestinians. Instead of even making an attempt to redefine or minimize the genocide, this comment instead argued that the genocide would be functional. It is functional to commit genocide on Palestinian people to prevent “Hamas is coming after the US next.” Nevermind that this doesn’t even make sense to argue at all, just the fact that it was offered as a justification for genocide should create a moment of pause for anyone following along.
