Ilhan Omar was removed from the House Foreign Affairs Committee for antisemitic comments.
From The Jerusalem Post. On Thursday, the US House of Representatives voted to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The vote was approved along party lines, 218-211.
Have you taken your place on the wall?
The decision came after Republican Congressman Max Miller – one of two Jewish members of the GOP in Congress – submitted a resolution to remove Omar over her past comments against Israel as well as the use of antisemitic tropes. …
It was a decision that was long overdue. Omar has repeatedly shown over the last few years that nothing is beneath her in her attempts to vilify the Jewish people and the State of Israel.
In 2019, she suggested that Israel’s allies in the US were motivated by money that they receive from AIPAC rather than principle, tweeting: “It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” a reference to $100 bills.
A short time later, the Minnesota congresswoman accused Jews of having dual loyalty in the United States. “I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says it is OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country.”
She added, “I want to ask, ‘Why is it OK for me to talk about the influence of the (National Rifle Association), or fossil fuel industries or Big Pharma, and not talk about a powerful lobbying group that is influencing policy?'”
And last summer, she compared Israel to the Taliban. “We must have the same level of accountability and justice for all victims of crimes against humanity,” Omar wrote in a tweet. “We have seen unthinkable atrocities committed by the US, Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan, and the Taliban.” …
The message that Congress sent this week by ousting Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee sends an important message that this type of rhetoric will not be tolerated and that there is a price to pay for antisemitism. …

Thank you Lord for the courage you gave to the House to FINALLY remove this person from committees and I would ask that this person also would be removed from government completely as she clearly hates Israel and clearly hates America.
Thank you Lord for removing this woman from this position. What she has accused Israel of is her very sin. The accuser is busy using willing vessels to accuse others. Dear Jesus may she desire and know the truth that would set her free. Cause her to turn around and become an outspoken advocate for Israel in Jesus! Name.
Jesus said we would be judged on how we treated the Jewish people. I shudder to think what those 211 Democrats will face for preferring their political party over God’s precious people. Very sobering.
Praise God in heaven,!!# – and thank you Lord-,that legislators are coming to their senses.. and the ground swell of Revival is influencing the thinking.. of all who govern and make decisions that affect us all in america.. thank you Lord for this long overdue action.. and-, that those like her be completely removed from the government -,and soon.
In Jesus mighty name, amen
Omar’s presence in our Congress is testimant to the fact that the accountability, right thinking- and once built in protections of our country -,on any level- that once was defined by the foundations of patriotism and godliness in our country-,is gone. Omar is an enemy of america.. and having a free and open Society- does not mean having enemies in the gate
Thank you, Father, for your faithfulness in removing Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee. Father God, choose the person who is right to take her place. Send in a man or woman who fears you, Father, God. Cause people to rise and show themselves worthy and faithful to carry the mantle you have placed upon them. Show us how to pray and help our faith to grow as we seek you, Father, God. Thank you, Father, for never giving up on your children and hearing the prayers of your saints. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
We are making progress. Step by step.
Thank you Jesus
Praise to the Lord Jesus.
Thank God, she is ousted. In fact I don’t think she should be in congress. Period
Agreed!
AMEN SHE IS GONE
Now if only the people will vote her out of office and put in a person with no prior agenda! She was part of the Soros sponsored representatives in our congress and house I believe! If so, she came with an agenda, not to help our country, but to hurt. Everything I have heard her say is against America! As a foreigner citizen to America, I have yet to hear any word of gratitude about being here or about our country! FATHER GOD please move her out of government during the next election if she chooses to run for any office in JESUS NAME! Amen!
Long over-due.
Lord please remove politicians that are not doing anything for the people. Too many politicians act too inappropriately too often. Too many politicians are interested in money and power and not what is best for the country. Lord help us. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Thank you Lord. I am a BLACK WOMAN. We must NOT, as Christ Followers- support other women based SOLEY on skin color. Too many Black female Christ Followers congratulations to Supreme Court Justice Kentanji Brown-Jackson based on SKIN COLOR ALONE with no mention of her standing in agreement with EVERYTHING Our Lord is AGAINST.
Thank you Gloria!
Yes! Thank you Gloria!
