Thoughts on the US congresswoman Ilhan Omar and her position on a Human Rights committee
1/19 It is not a joke and I hope that the Biden administration will seek for the connections of Mrs. Omar with the Muslim Brotherhood and with terror states, like Turkey and Qatar.

2/19 The news: Ilhan Omar is rising on the House Foreign Affairs Committee as she steps into the role of vice chairwoman of the subcommittee with jurisdiction over Africa and global human rights issues https://www.startribune.com/rep-ilhan-omar-takes-leadership-post-in-house-foreign-affairs/600021954/
3/19 First target for Human Rights violations is probably Israel, since Ilhan Omar is known for the anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli statements with which found an ally in the face of the former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard, David Duke. https://nypost.com/2019/11/09/rep-ilhan-omar-accused-of-anti-semitism-before-cair-gala-speech/
4/19 Omar has faced wrath for her tweets over Jewish/Israel issues. In an infamous 2012 post she claimed that “Israel has hypnotized the world,” during a conflict with Gaza.
But even Nancy Pelosy had to intervene to ban an anti-Semitic statement of hers. https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/status/1095026564503343104?s=20

5/19 A peculiar relation of Omar with terrorists org's also exists. In a talk to the Council of American Islamic Relations, she downplayed the 9/11 attacks saying “some people did something” a deny to the cancer festering in the world Muslim community. https://nypost.com/2019/04/10/ilhan-omars-outrageous-writeoff-of-9-11s-horrors/
6/19 It is therefore of importance to remember that Omar once was accused for having passed information to Qatar, subsequently handed along to Iran. https://www.jpost.com/american-politics/ilhan-omar-working-for-qatar-florida-court-hears-609003
7/19 She was even accused for anti-American policy by US Veterans, when she smeared them for killing Somalis in a Battle in Mogadishu. The veterans were offended and answered that they were engaged in a UN mission designed to protect civilians. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/black-hawk-down-veterans-blast-ilhan-omar-for-smearing-us-troops-who-died-to-help-her-people
8/19 Now that Mrs Omar is in this Human Rights' position, who will be in the frame apart from Israel? Turkey? I doubt. After her personal visit to Erdogan in Turkey, the bonds between Somalia-the motherland of Mrs Omar-and Turkey have increased. https://web.archive.org/web/20171003081153/http://www.tusmotimes.com/xildhibaan-ilhaan-cumar-iyo-madaxweyne-recep-erdogan-oo-magaalada-new-york-ku-kulmay/
9/19 Great examples of Turkey's "aid" to Somalia is that Turkey offered to reduce Somalia's debt. https://twitter.com/OulisKi/status/1331534842668986369?s=20
10/19 Another example is Turkey's humanitarian aid in Somalia. And Mrs. Omar does not miss the chance to express publicly her gratitude for such generosity. https://twitter.com/IlhanMN/status/920517911982297090?s=20
11/19 For this reason she concretely gave a gift to Turkey by voting against the sanctions for the operation "Peace Spring" being the only Democrat to do so. https://thehill.com/policy/international/middle-east-north-africa/467127-omar-warns-sanctions-on-turkey-would-be
12/19 In addition she never accuses Turkey for the military involvement in other countries or in her country where Turkey installed the biggest overseas military base, trains Somali soldiers, transfers arms to the Somali military, and intervenes in the forthcoming elections.
13/19 On the contrary she never misses the chance to attack to the UAE, the KSA and Egypt. She accused the UAE as 'global human rights abuser' in order to object the sell of the F35 jets. https://twitter.com/Ilhan/status/1330935540888330243?s=20
14/19 She accuses the KSA for atrocities against minorities and the Yemen genocide, https://twitter.com/IlhanMN/status/1052046943369789440?s=20
15/19 while the KSA fights against the Houthis terrorists, who are the real responsible for the humanitarian crisis in Yemen and who have connections with Hezbollah in Lebanon. https://twitter.com/VTsiapou/status/1360653564494950413?s=20
16/19 Egypt is also a favorite target. In a letter that 8 members of Congress signed, Omar urges the Egyptian government to make "political" prisoners a priority, disregarding the fact that Egypt fights the Muslim Brotherhood in all fronts. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/ilhan-omar-resolution-police-brutality-egypt-saudi-arabia
17/19 What Omar means by 'political' prisoners in Egypt? With a tweet she had called for the release of a senior member of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, Hoda Abdelmonem, accompanied by a photo of herself with pro-Muslim Brotherhood campaigners. https://twitter.com/Ilhan/status/1113171033689874433?s=20
18/19 So what to expect from Mrs. Omar in the position of vice chairwoman with jurisdiction over Africa and global human rights issues? Silence for Human Rights' violations in countries that violate them and attacks to countries that fight against fanatic Islamist groups
19/19 At last, an interesting article on how political Islam found common cause with the political left, and expressed through a group of US Congresswomen (Omar, Palestinian Rashida Tlaib, African-American Ayanna Pressley & Latin-American Ocasio-Cortez) https://www.thenationalnews.com/opinion/comment/the-far-left-is-trying-to-hijack-muslim-minds-in-the-west-1.1092427
