Why the smart money is on not buying Omar's "apology"

Anybody who thinks she was sincere is a chump.

Her next move was this:

Despite issuing her non-apology at the request of House Democratic leaders for her anti-Semitic tweets, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is scheduled to share the stage with Islamic Relief USA official Yousef Abdullah. In his role as the charity’s operations manager, Abdullah acts as their ambassador and often appears at “peace-building” events across the country. However, he is well-known for his extreme anti-Semitic rhetoric, his support of terror and his private social media posts which reveal an intense, violent hatred of Jews.

Islamic Watch’s Sam Westrop reports that Abdullah was widely criticized in 2017 by the Middle Eastern Forum for his posts and citesseveral examples.

He shared a “very beautiful” modernized version of a Palestinian folk story about a ‘resistance hero’ named Zharif al-Tawl, who took revenge against Jewish “gangs” – which had purportedly attacked a Palestinian village – by providing guns to “kill more than 20 jews” and “fire rockets at Tel Aviv.”

Other posts referred to Jews as “stinking,” and claim “the Jews put the outside wall of Al Aqsa [the mosque in Jerusalem] on fire.” Abdallah also ‘liked’ a comment on his Facebook post that calls on God to wreak “revenge on the damned rapists Zionists. O God they are no challenge for you . Shake the Earth beneath their feet and destroy them as you destroyed the peoples of ʿĀd, Thamud and Lot.”

And in 2014, after Republican politician Chris Christie apologized for referring to the West Bank and Gaza as “occupied,” Abdallah wrote: “Christie kneels down on his knees before the jewish lords and says ‘I am sorry’. Only money makes stuff like this happen. Mr. Christie…Muslims should remember this very well.”

According to Westrop, Islamic Relief defended “Abdullah and claimed that his posts had been mistranslated. However, the charity refused to provide alternative translations, and refused to comment on the fact that some of the anti-Semitism was expressed plainly in English.”

Countries ranging from the United Arab Emirates to Germany are looking into Islamic Relief's terrorist ties. Hell, even Turkey is looking into it.

This Omar chick is nothing if not brazen.  She's out to see how far she can push the envelope, even if she has to occasionally an d momentarily backtrack a little.

She's trouble. We must keep our eyes on her.
