Trump then concluded it was “a dark day for Israel,” even though it’s the Israeli government and pro-Israel groups that Omar called out.
“Even though”?

U.S. Foreign Aid to Israel [April 10, 2018] [open pdf - 1MB]
“Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II. To date, the United States has provided Israel $134.7 billion (current, or noninflation-adjusted, dollars) in bilateral assistance and missile defense funding. Almost all U.S. bilateral aid to Israel is in the form of military assistance, although in the past Israel also received significant economic assistance. At a signing ceremony at the State Department on September 14, 2016, representatives of the U.S. and Israeli governments signed a new 10-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on military aid covering FY2019 to FY2028. Under the terms of the MOU, the United States pledges to provide $38 billion in military aid ($33 billion in Foreign Military Financing grants plus $5 billion in missile defense appropriations) to Israel. This MOU replaces a previous $30 billion 10-year agreement, which runs through FY2018.”

“A dark day for Israel” was when the Likud party took over.
I am really sick and tired of the loyalty of a few conservative American and Israeli politicians to the dreams of empire advanced by a few Jewish religious fanatics and promoted by the dreams of some American Christian religious fanatics for life ending planetary war blocking any chance for peace in the middle east. Isn’t it time we demanded peace? Just like Israeli kids Palestinian kids deserve a bright future.
If what I just said makes me anti-Semitic or anti-Christian, so be it. Peace is more important than the hateful dreams of fanatics be they Muslim, Jewish or Christian.
And you know for most of the talibangelical congressmen their support of Israel has nothing to do with the people or the history there and everything to do with the fact that they think the physical land is critical for the rapture.
At least she didn’t pass on intel to the Russians from the Israeli Intelligence agency.
This is a welcome distraction for Donald. “If I can keep Omar in the headlines, I may stay out of them”
Ilhan Omar hasn’t picked in immoral fight, just an ill-advised, stupid one.
Putin’s Puppet? No. He’s Bibi’s Puppet, along with the whole Republican’t Party and far too many Democrats. Remember, kids, Bibi was invited to address a joint session of CONgress with the expressed intent of undermining the President’s foreign policy (Obama’s Iran Nuclear Agreement.) INVITED! As in out in the freaking open (versus shadowy, poorly-funded bots on social media)…
Could Trump be more of a dimmer bulb than Kevin McCarthy?? Hmmmmmm.
Remember that 12-13 members of the USA congress are dual Israeli / USA citizens, including Chuck Schumer. This should be made illegal as it enables and promotes treason, which is what is happening.
I think you need to clarify this a bit. The destruction of their land and the destruction of Judaism is critical for the Rapture…
Apparently Trump openly supports caging Palestinians and Hispanics.
How welcoming our country is proving to be to the Muslim woman who had the audacity to question our unwavering support of Israeli politics and actions.
Better not question Pollard’s loyalty. Apparently that’s antisemitic.
Dreidels are a stupid toy.
There, I said it. I stand naked, waiting to suffer my castigation.
